These irregular pieces are meant to be similar in size to tobacco lamina, such that they are often blended with the tobacco lamina and cut. In explicit, the mix is typically cut into particles having a predetermined minimize width. However, because the reconstituted tobacco sheet is rather randomly ripped into items, the tobacco fibres are generally not aligned in a uniform course. Tobacco rods have been ready from a tobacco reduce filler utilizing tobacco particles reduce in accordance with the specs of Figures 1 1 and 12. In specific, a primary couple of blends have been used, that contained eighty five percent by weight of pure tobacco particles and 15 % by weight of reconstituted tobacco particles reduce in accordance with specifications of Figures 1 1 and 12, respectively.
In preferred embodiments, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness from about zero.05 mm to about 1 mm. Even extra ideally, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness from about 0.1 mm to about zero.3 mm, most preferably from a sheet materials having a thickness of about 0.2 mm. A tobacco minimize filler based on any certainly one of claims 1 to 9, wherein the first tobacco material is shredded into strips every comprising at least a primary strip construction comprising a branching node from which a further strip construction branches off, forming an angle with the first strip structure. Figures 10 and 12 show two examples of reduce strips including a quantity of V-shaped structure. Each V structure contains two substantially straight components forming an angle.
The yield of flat rolled stem which may be used instantly as filler is elevated, and the average stem length and thus the typical length of reduce filler from stem is increased. A tobacco cut filler in accordance with any one of the previous claims having a filling energy of no less than three.5 cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture value Filling cut tobacco of 12.5 percent oven volatiles. Accordingly, tobacco particles had been prepared from the same sheet of reconstituted tobacco according to the cut specification illustrated in Figure 12, whereby the reduce width SCW1 is of 0.9 millimetres, the reduce size CL1 is of 4.94 millimetres and the global width CW1 is of 12.50 millimetres.
Half Zware Normally manufactured from Virginia, dark-fired, darkish air-cured tobaccos. Zware Contains a larger proportion of dark-fired or air-cured tobaccos and fewer Virginia tobacco than Half Zware. Zware means “heavy” or “darkish”, so Zware tobacco is darker – in both color and taste – than Half Zware. A methodology in accordance with declare 15 or 16, whereby the primary tobacco material is a pre-processed tobacco materials. With pressed cuts, the tobacco is placed under excessive stress and ranging levels of heat for an extended period of time. A bit of fermentation additionally happens through the course of, which gives the tobacco a fuller, rounder style.
Reconstituted tobacco is shaped from tobacco materials similar to tobacco stems, tobacco stalks, leaf scraps and tobacco dust, which are produced in the course of the manufacturing processes of tobacco merchandise. Such tobacco materials could, for instance, be floor to a fine powder and then mixed with water and sometimes with a binder, corresponding to guar gum, to kind a slurry. This slurry is then cast onto a supportive floor, such as a belt conveyor, and dried to form a sheet (so called ‘solid leaf) that could be removed from the supportive floor and wound into bobbins.
Figures 1 to 12 reveals reduce strips of a first tobacco material for incorporation in a minimize filler based on the present invention. The strips have been minimize from a sheet of reconstituted tobacco having a thickness from about zero.05 mm to about 1 mm in accordance with a primary cut specification, wherein the first reduce specification units a predetermined first reduce width CW1 and a predetermined first reduce length CL1 . In addition, the first reduce specification could further set a predetermined first sectional cut width SCW1.
Without wishing to be certain to principle, it is going to be appreciated that in any chopping, rolling or extruding operation, the tobacco fibres typically align in a given path, which can thus be identified because the longitudinal direction of the tobacco materials. The “cut length” of a cut strip of tobacco material for incorporation in minimize fillers according to the current invention may therefore be measured alongside the primary direction of fibre alignment, which usually corresponds to the longitudinal path. Thus, the minimize tobacco pipe length of an individual minimize strip can be precisely measured using a conventional measuring gadget under a microscope. In a standard process, reconstituted tobacco or tobacco stem material or each are usually blended with threshed tobacco lamina to undergo a series of remedies, such as conditioning and drying. To this objective, a reconstituted tobacco sheet is often ripped into randomly formed sheet-like items having a non-uniform size, usually of a number of sq. centimetres.
Even extra ideally, first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a cut length of at least about 15 mm. In addition, or as an alternative, the first tobacco material is ideally shredded into strips having a reduce length of less than about 60 mm. More preferably, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a reduce length of lower than about 50 mm. Even extra preferably, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a minimize length of lower than about forty mm. In most well-liked embodiments, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a minimize size from about 5 mm to about 60 mm. The term “sectional minimize width” is used within the present specification to describe the side- to-side width of 1 such portion of a minimize strip of tobacco material.
More ideally, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a minimize width of lower than about 0.95 mm. Even extra preferably, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a reduce width of lower than about 0.9 mm. In preferred embodiments, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a reduce width from about zero.2 mm to about 1 mm. Preferably, the second tobacco material is a pure tobacco leaf material.
