Further, the second Y-shaped construction includes a second branching node from which a rectangular structure branches off. In the embodiment of Figure 1 1 , the minimize strip includes a first Y-shaped construction together with a first branching node from which a second Y-shaped structure branches off. Further, the second Y-shaped construction includes a second branching node from which a third Y-shaped structure branches off.
The term “minimize specification” is used all through 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 minimize width, cut length, cut shape and so forth. Further, it would be fascinating to provide one such improved process that enables for a greater management of the form, size and properties of the reconstituted tobacco matter forming part of the cut filler. At the identical time, it will be desirable to supply one such process that does not require any major modification of the traditional equipment and services used in the major remedy of tobacco.
In some embodiments, tobacco reduce filler in accordance with the invention could additionally be used in the tobacco rod of a combustible smoking article, corresponding to a filter cigarette, cigarillo or cigar. Alternatively, the reduce filler may be used to supply the tobacco aerosol generating substrate in a distillation based mostly smoking article, or an electrically heated smoking system. Alternatively, the minimize filler may be used as a roll-your-own or make-your-own product, or unfastened tobacco product for use in a pipe.
More ideally, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a reduce width of lower than about zero.95 mm. Even extra preferably, the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a minimize width of lower Filling cut tobacco than about 0.9 mm. In most popular embodiments, the primary tobacco materials is shredded into strips having a cut width from about 0.2 mm to about 1 mm. Preferably, the second tobacco material is a natural tobacco leaf materials.
In addition, a second couple of blends was used, that contained 70 percent by weight of natural tobacco particles and 30 percent by weight of reconstituted tobacco particles reduce in accordance with the specs of Figures 1 1 and 12, respectively. Thus, the cut width of an individual minimize strip is taken at the point along the size of the strip that yields the biggest cross-sectional area. Further, the filling energy of the shredded first tobacco material can be maximised by choosing a suitable first cut specification. This ends in an improved filling energy of the reduce filler as an entire, significantly when the first tobacco materials is mixed with a minimal of another tobacco material.
Suitable pure tobacco leaf supplies include tobacco lamina, tobacco stem materials and tobacco stalk material. The natural tobacco leaf material used because the second tobacco materials might include any sort of tobacco leaf, together with for instance Virginia tobacco leaf, Burley tobacco leaf, Oriental tobacco leaf, flue-cured tobacco leaf, or a mixture thereof. A tobacco cut filler according to the present invention contains a primary tobacco materials minimize in accordance with a first minimize specification, wherein the primary reduce specification units at least predetermined first cut width and first minimize size. The time period “filling power” is used to explain the quantity of house taken up by a given weight or mass of a tobacco material. The higher the filling power of a tobacco materials, the lower the load of the fabric required to fill a tobacco rod of ordinary dimensions.
