In some embodiments, tobacco reduce filler according to the invention may be used in the tobacco rod of a combustible smoking article, similar to a filter cigarette, cigarillo or cigar. Alternatively, the minimize filler may be used to provide the tobacco aerosol producing substrate in a distillation primarily based smoking article, or an electrically heated smoking system. Alternatively, the cut filler could additionally be used as a roll-your-own or make-your-own product, or free tobacco product to be used in a pipe.
A tobacco reduce filler based on any one of many previous claims, wherein the first tobacco material is shredded into strips having a reduce size from about 5 mm to about 60 mm. A tobacco minimize filler in accordance with any considered one of claims 2 to four, wherein the second tobacco materials is a natural tobacco leaf materials. An angle of 90 levels was thought of to be undesirable, in that it will lead basically to a form fairly just like the shape of Figure 6, and so an angle of 60 degrees was chosen for the “V” parts. Further, the tactic ideally contains the step of mixing the minimize first tobacco materials and the reduce second tobacco material.
The term “reduce specification” is used throughout the specification to check with the various geometric parameters characterising the strips obtained by subjecting a tobacco materials to a chopping operation. Thus, in accordance to a given “minimize specification”, a tobacco material shall be minimize or shredded into strips having a predetermined reduce width, cut size, cut shape and so forth. Further, it will be desirable to provide Filling cut tobacco one such improved course of that enables for a greater control of the shape, size and properties of the reconstituted tobacco matter forming a part of the cut filler. At the identical time, it will be desirable to provide one such course of that doesn’t require any main modification of the traditional equipment and services used in the major treatment of tobacco.
In most popular embodiments, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness from about 0.05 mm to about 1 mm. Even extra ideally, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet material having a thickness from about zero.1 mm to about 0.3 mm, most ideally from a sheet material having a thickness of about 0.2 mm. A tobacco reduce filler according to any considered one of claims 1 to 9, whereby the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips each comprising at least a primary strip structure comprising a branching node from which an extra strip structure branches off, forming an angle with the first strip structure. Figures 10 and 12 present two examples of minimize strips including a quantity of V-shaped structure. Each V structure includes two substantially straight parts forming an angle.
Even more ideally, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of a minimum of about zero.2 mm. In addition, or instead, the first tobacco materials is ideally shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of less than about 1 mm. More preferably tobacco pipe, the first tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of lower than about zero.95 mm. Even more preferably, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of lower than about zero.eighty five mm.
