The values of filling energy are expressed in phrases of corrected cylinder volume which is the cylinder quantity of the tobacco material at a reference moisture stage of 12.5 % oven volatiles. The cylinder quantity could also be determined using a Borgwaldt densimeter DD60 or DD60A sort Fashion tobacco pipe fitted with a measuring head for reduce tobacco and a tobacco cylinder container. The time period “sinusoidal” is used to describe a minimize strip of tobacco material formed considerably like a portion of a sine wave.
The expressions “ultimate minimize width” and “final minimize length” are used herein to describe the reduce width and reduce size of a tobacco materials as found in a tobacco minimize filler utilized in a tobacco product. The method might additional comprise a step of conditioning the primary Filling cut tobacco tobacco materials prior to chopping the first tobacco materials. Further, the strategy might comprise a step of controlling the moisture content material of the minimize filler by adjusting the moisture content material of the primary tobacco materials.
Reconstituted tobacco is shaped from tobacco materials such as tobacco stems, tobacco stalks, leaf scraps and tobacco mud, which are produced through the manufacturing processes of tobacco merchandise. Such tobacco material might, for example, be ground to a nice powder after which combined with water and typically tobacco pipe with a binder, similar to guar gum, to type a slurry. This slurry is then forged onto a supportive floor, such as a belt conveyor, and dried to type a sheet (so referred to as ‘solid leaf) that can be faraway from the supportive surface and wound into bobbins.
Figures 1 to 12 exhibits cut strips of a primary tobacco materials for incorporation in a reduce filler based on the current invention. The strips have been cut from a sheet of reconstituted tobacco having a thickness from about 0.05 mm to about 1 mm in accordance with a primary reduce specification, wherein the primary minimize specification sets a predetermined first minimize width CW1 and a predetermined first reduce length CL1 . In addition, the first cut specification may further set a predetermined first sectional cut width SCW1.
In specific, one such strip may comprise no much less than a primary strip structure comprising a branching node from which an additional strip structure branches off, forming an angle with the first strip construction. The moisture content of the tobacco cut filler is expressed herein as “% oven volatiles”, which is set by measuring the proportion weight reduction from the cut filler upon drying the fabric in an oven at 103 levels Centigrade (°C) for 100 minutes. It is assumed that a major majority of the weight loss from the reduce filler outcomes from the evaporation of moisture. A method based on any one of claims 15 to 17, wherein the second tobacco material is a reconstituted tobacco sheet.
