Should one such particle break at a location within the central V-shaped portion, the 2 ensuing components of the particles would nonetheless be successfully V-shaped. The highest CCV values had been obtained for reduce specification no. three, which considerably corresponds to particles having a Y-shape. However, it was found that when particles have been produced from the identical sheet of reconstituted tobacco based on cut specification no. 3 are produced, a major fraction of the tobacco materials went to waste. These correspond to the shapes illustrated in Figures 9 and 10, respectively, for which the values of CCV listed in the following Table three have been measured. Tobacco minimize fillers based on the current invention may be ready by a technique comprising providing a primary tobacco materials and cutting the first tobacco material in accordance with a first minimize specification setting no much less than predetermined first reduce width and first reduce size. Tobacco reduce filler in accordance with the present invention may be integrated into a big selection of smoking articles.
Even extra preferably, first tobacco material is shredded into strips having a minimize length of no much less than about 15 mm. In addition, or instead, the first tobacco material is ideally shredded into strips having a minimize size of lower than about 60 mm. More preferably, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a cut length of less than about 50 mm. Even more preferably, the primary tobacco pipe tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a reduce size of less than about forty mm. In preferred embodiments, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a cut size from about 5 mm to about 60 mm. The term “sectional reduce width” is used in the current specification to describe the side- to-side width of 1 such portion of a cut strip of tobacco materials.
Further, the second Y-shaped structure comprises a second branching node from which an oblong construction branches off. In the embodiment of Figure 1 1 , the minimize strip contains a primary Y-shaped structure together with a first branching node from which a second Y-shaped structure branches off. Further, the second Y-shaped structure includes a second branching node from which a third Y-shaped structure branches off.
Even more preferably, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of a minimal of about zero.2 mm. In addition, or as an alternative, the first tobacco materials is preferably shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of lower than about 1 mm. More ideally, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of less than about zero.ninety five mm. Even extra preferably, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips from a sheet materials having a thickness of less than about 0.85 mm.
The yield of flat rolled stem which may be used instantly as filler is elevated, and the average stem size and thus the average length of reduce filler from stem is increased. A tobacco cut filler according to any one of many preceding claims having a filling energy of at least 3.5 cubic centimetres per gram at a reference moisture worth of 12.5 % oven volatiles. Accordingly, tobacco particles had been prepared from the same sheet of reconstituted tobacco in accordance with the minimize specification illustrated in Figure 12, whereby the minimize width SCW1 is of zero.9 millimetres, the cut length CL1 is of 4.ninety four millimetres and the worldwide width CW1 is of 12.50 millimetres.
More preferably, the first tobacco material is shredded into strips having a cut width of less than about 0.95 mm. Even more ideally, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a minimize width of lower Filling cut tobacco than about 0.9 mm. In most well-liked 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 materials is a natural tobacco leaf materials.
