Definitions

  • Reconstituted tobacco is conventionally cut or broken (threshed) into pieces several inches square which are then mixed with cured tobacco leaf (strip) for cutting.
  • the shredded product then has to be dried to a level acceptable for further processing.
  • Parmele et al U.S. 3,053,259 disclose a process that pressure-forms shreds of reconstituted tobacco directly from tobacco fines, hu ectant, binder, and water. This product is then blended with cut filler for use in smoking product. At the time of blending, the moisture content is about 20% so that the further drying of the whole blend is not avoided, because the making moisture level of about 12% must first be realized.
  • Processing reconstituted tobacco sheet for use in filler for smoking products conventionally goes through the following steps: slitting and cutting or threshing to reach a size comparable with that of natural leaf (strip) from the stemmery, that is, a few inches on a side; holding in a hogshead or other container for transport to the blending location; blending with
  • the present invention makes possible one or more advantages: the load on the dryers is reduced; the shreds of reconstituted sheet may be made very uniform in length—consequently maximizing filling power; the shreds may be made wide or narrow to adjust properties; dust from the threshing is eliminated; the reconstituted sheet may be stored in compact rolls, resistant to insects; and the rolled sheet, prior to cutting, may be subjected to special treatment that may be desired (such as coating) as it is unrolled.
  • special treatment may be desired (such as coating) as it is unrolled.
  • O PI contrast to leaf it can be made into more uniform shreds, with substantially no “shorts” or “fines” if care is taken.
  • cylinder volume means higher filling power, or capacity to make more satisfactory cigarettes with a given unit weight.
  • organ volatiles describes a measure of the approximate moisture content (or percentage of moisture) in tobacco. As used throughout this application, the values employed to characterize smoking material, in connection with these terms, are determined as follows: Cylinder Volume (CV) Tobacco filler weighing 10.000 g is placed in a 3.358-cm diameter cylinder and compressed by a 1875-g piston 3.335 cm in diameter for five minutes. The resulting volume of filler is reported as cylinder volume. This test is carried out at standard environmental conditions of 75°F and 60% RH; conventionally unless otherwise stated, the sample is preconditioned in this environment for 18 hours. Oven-Volatiles Content (0V)
  • the sample of tobacco or reconstituted tobacco is weighed before and after exposure for 3 hours in circulating air oven
  • the OV after equilibration has significance in comparing properties of smoking materials at the same conditions.
  • Materials are, generally, equilibrated (reordered) at conditions which are well known in the trade. Equilibrating is preferably done at standard conditions, which generally involve maintaining the tobacco at a temperature of 75 ⁇ F (24 ⁇ C) and 60% RH (relative humidity) for at least 18 hours.
  • “Longs” are defined as filler particles held back by 0.075-inch screen openings. “Mediums” are particles which are held back by 0.034-inch screen openings. “Shorts” are held back by 0.020-inch openings. “Smalls” are held back by 0.011-inch openings. “Fines” pass through that screen. Standard Smoking Procedure
  • Test smoking by machine was done according to the FTC method as described by Pillsbury et al., ⁇ 3. Assoc. Offic. Anal. Chemists _5 : 458-462 (1969).
  • the invention may be illustrated by the following Example.
  • Example Reconstituted tobacco which had been collected as a roll from a papermaking reconstitution process was cut by a Cummins shredder into shreds 7/8 inch long and 1/35 inch wide. The product was blended in a proportion of 23.3% into a commercial blend of cut filler containing no reconstituted tobacco, by introducing it at a point between the dryer and the fl vor cylinder. As a control, reconstituted tobacco which had been threshed in the normal fashion was blended in the same proportion with strip and processed through the cutter in the conventional way. The results of tests and analyses show that uniform blending and no adverse effect on such properties as filling power resulted. Some decrease in sieve fines occurred.

Abstract

Conventionnellement, lorsque le tabac reconstitué est mélangé avec du tabac écoté et d'autres parties de tabac dans le tabac de remplissage destiné à être fumé, le tabac reconstitué est découpé et/ou défibré en même temps que le tabac écoté et les autres parties de tabac. Un des inconvénients du système conventionnel est la surcharge inutile imposée au système de séchage pendant le traitement du mélange. Pour éliminer cet inconvénient, le tabac reconstitué destiné à être mélangé avec le tabac écoté et autres parties de tabac dans le tabac de remplissage pour des produits pour fumeurs n'est pas mélangé au tabac écoté et aux autres parties de tabac avant que le tabac reconstitué n'ait été découpé et/ou défibré. Le matériau reconstitué peut alors être mélangé au tabac de remplissage découpé sans imposer une charge supplémentaire au système de séchage.
