Description

Dans tous les processus de production de biens de consommation, on cherche en permanence à rationaliser les opérations dans toute la mesure du possible afin de réduire les coûts.In all consumer goods production processes, there is an ongoing effort to streamline operations as much as possible in order to reduce costs.

La présente invention est relative à un perfectionnement de ce genre introduit dans la production des cigarettes.The present invention relates to an improvement of this kind introduced in the production of cigarettes.

La production des cigarettes doit, pour répondre efficacement aux besoins du marché, être distribuée en permanence sur divers produits similaires mais différents. Ainsi, partant d'une masse de tabac brut, il sera nécessaire, à une étape ou à une autre de la production, de diviser cette masse en lots sur lesquels les opérations ultérieures de préparation du tabac et de conditionnement final seront différentes. Jusqu'à maintenant, ces opérations de préparation du tabac en vue de la fabrication des divers produits visés aboutissaient nécessairement au stockage temporaire en des emplacements distincts de masses de tabac ayant subi des préparations différentes et l'on s'efforçait d'organiser la fabrication de manière à diminuer autant que possible les temps de stockage et les masses à stocker. Parmi les diverses préparations différentes qui peuvent intervenir, on doit considérer, du point de vue cité, l'adjonction des additifs de divers types dont le mélange confère à la cigarette sa saveur finale et lui donne sa caractéristique unique. La production des cigarettes devant se diviser en produits de différents genres, le problème de la diversification des opérations de préparation se pose. Les additifs en question sont par exemple divers arômes qui sont préparés en solution dans un milieu aqueux, alcoolique ou autre et dont on asperge la masse de tabac prévue pour le type de cigarettes correspondant. Or, on s'est aperçu qu'il était possible de simplifier notablement les opérations de préparation du tabac en repoussant l'introduction de certains au moins des arômes, notamment des arômes dits "de tête" jusqu'au moment de la formation du boudin.The production of cigarettes must, in order to respond effectively to the needs of the market, be permanently distributed over various similar but different products. Thus, starting from a mass of raw tobacco, it will be necessary, at one stage or another of production, to divide this mass into batches on which the subsequent operations of tobacco preparation and final packaging will be different. Until now, these operations for preparing tobacco for the production of the various products concerned necessarily resulted in temporary storage in separate locations of masses of tobacco having undergone different preparations and efforts were made to organize the manufacture so as to reduce as much as possible the storage times and the masses to be stored. Among the various different preparations which may intervene, one must consider, from the cited point of view, the addition of additives of various types, the mixture of which gives the cigarette its final flavor and gives it its unique characteristic. The production of cigarettes having to be divided into products of different kinds, the problem of the diversification of the preparation operations arises. The additives in question are for example various flavors which are prepared in solution in an aqueous, alcoholic or other medium and which is sprayed with the mass of tobacco provided for the corresponding type of cigarettes. However, we realized that it was possible to significantly simplify the operations of tobacco preparation by postponing the introduction of at least some of the flavors, in particular so-called "head" flavors until the time the sausage was formed. .

Ainsi, la présente invention a pour objet un procédé de fabrication de cigarettes, comprenant l'enveloppement d'une veine de tabac préalablement préparé, dans une bande de papier, le dépôt d'une colle le long d'un bord de la bande et une opération de collage de couture, de manière à former un boudin, caractérisé en ce qu'un additif améliorant la qualité du tabac est introduit exclusivement dans la colle de couture.Thus, the subject of the present invention is a process for the manufacture of cigarettes, comprising the wrapping of a previously prepared tobacco vein in a strip of paper, the deposition of an adhesive along one edge of the strip and a seam gluing operation, so as to form a sausage, characterized in that an additive improving the quality of the tobacco is introduced exclusively into the seam glue.

En général, l'additif sera dosé de manière à conférer une saveur prédéterminée au tabac.In general, the additive will be dosed so as to impart a predetermined flavor to the tobacco.

L'invention a également pour objet une cigarette fabriquée selon le procédé de la revendication 1, caractérisée en ce qu'un additif améliorant la qualité du tabac est contenu exclusivement dans la colle de couture.The invention also relates to a cigarette manufactured according to the method of claim 1, characterized in that an additive improving the quality of tobacco is contained exclusively in the seam glue.

Il a dèjà été proposé (US-4 941 486, US-3 625 224, US-3 041 211) d'introduire certains additifs dans la colle de couture lors de la fabrication des cigarettes. Toutefois, cette mesure avait dans chaque cas un but particulier, différent de celui que vise la présente invention.It has already been proposed (US-4,941,486, US-3,625,224, US-3,041,211) to introduce certain additives into the seam glue during the manufacture of cigarettes. However, this measure had in each case a particular purpose, different from that which the present invention seeks.

Ainsi, selon le document US-4 941 486, l'introduction d'un "précurseur de saveur" (flavor precursor) dans le filtre, dans le tabac ou dans la colle de couture confère un arôme particulier à la fumée latérale. Une amélioration de la qualité du tabac n'est pas spécifiquement visée.Thus, according to document US Pat. No. 4,941,486, the introduction of a "flavor precursor" into the filter, into tobacco or into sewing glue gives a particular flavor to the side smoke. Improvements in the quality of tobacco are not specifically targeted.

Les documents US-3 625 224 et US-3 041 211 portent sur l'amélioration de la qualité du tabac au moyen d'additifs. Ceux-ci peuvent être incorporés au tabac par aspersion, bain ou n'importe quelle autre méthode. L'enseignement de ces brevets ne suggère pas la rationalisation des opérations que la présente invention permet.Documents US-3,625,224 and US-3,041,211 relate to improving the quality of tobacco in Canada. using additives. These can be incorporated into tobacco by spraying, bathing or any other method. The teaching of these patents does not suggest the rationalization of the operations that the present invention allows.

On va expliquer ci-après, sur la base de l'unique figure du dessin annexé qui montre un exemple concret d'un appareil intervenant dans la production, comment le procédé de l'invention peut être mis en oeuvre.We will explain below, based on the single figure of the accompanying drawing which shows a concrete example of an apparatus involved in production, how the method of the invention can be implemented.

On sait que la dernière opération de fabrication des cigarettes consiste à sectionner en segments d'une longueur prédéterminée un boudin continu qui se compose d'une veine de tabac enveloppée dans une bande de papier dont les deux bords sont rabattus et collés l'un sur l'autre. La formation du boudin se déroule elle-même de la façon suivante: Une masse de tabac ayant subi au préalable diverses opérations de préparation, qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de détailler ici, est logée en vrac dans un récipient d'où le tabac est aspiré et conduit, en général par le déplacement d'une bande transporteuse, le long d'une coulisse où la masse de tabac prend la forme d'une veine cylindrique continue. A cet emplacement, une bande de papier, qui se déroule en continu à partir d'une bobine, vient envelopper la veine de tabac. Un des bords de cette bande est alors enduit d'une colle, après quoi le boudin en formation est introduit dans un outil de formage dans lequel les deux bords de la bande sont rabattus l'un sur l'autre et le collage intervient. Ce collage forme ce qu'on appelle la couture.We know that the last cigarette manufacturing operation consists in cutting into segments of a predetermined length a continuous rod which consists of a tobacco vein wrapped in a strip of paper whose two edges are folded and glued one on the other. The formation of the sausage itself proceeds as follows: A mass of tobacco having previously undergone various preparation operations, which it is not necessary to detail here, is housed in bulk in a container from which the tobacco is sucked and led, generally by the displacement of a conveyor belt, along a slide where the mass of tobacco takes the form of a continuous cylindrical vein. At this location, a strip of paper, which unrolls continuously from a reel, wraps the vein of tobacco. One of the edges of this strip is then coated with an adhesive, after which the rod in formation is introduced into a forming tool in which the two edges of the strip are folded over one another and bonding takes place. This collage forms what is called sewing.

La figure unique du dessin annexé montre, en coupe transversale, la veine de tabac 1, la bande de papier d'enveloppement 2 et, en arrière du plan de coupe, l'outil de formage 3.The single figure of the appended drawing shows, in cross section, the tobacco stream 1, the wrapping paper strip 2 and, behind the cutting plane, the forming tool 3.

Entre l'outil de formage 3 et le plan de coupe est monté un dispositif 5, équipé d'une tuyère 6 qui est placée de façon que le bord 2a, à gauche à la figure, de la bande 2 passe immédiatement devant l'extrémité de cette tuyère. Le dispositif 5 est alimenté, par des moyens non représentés, par une colle fluide, par exemple une colle de polyvinyle-acétate. Une colle d'amidon liquide ou une colle gélatine peuvent aussi convenir. La dose désirée de colle se dépose sous l'effet de la pression régnant dans le dispositif 5 et de la capillarité sur une zone marginale du bord 2a de la bande 2.Between the forming tool 3 and the cutting plane is mounted a device 5, equipped with a nozzle 6 which is placed so that the edge 2a, on the left in the figure, of the strip 2 passes immediately in front of the end of this nozzle. The device 5 is supplied, by means not shown, with a fluid adhesive, for example a polyvinyl-acetate adhesive. Liquid starch glue or gelatin glue may also be suitable. The desired dose of adhesive is deposited under the effect of the pressure prevailing in the device 5 and of the capillarity on a marginal zone of the edge 2a of the strip 2.

Dans la forme de mise en oeuvre du procédé décrite ici, on a dissous au préalable dans la colle un composé aromatique de type saveur finale ("Top Flavor"), par exemple, vanilline, maltol, furanéol, pyrazines, etc., de sorte que, lorsqu'il s'agit de passer de la fabrication d'un type de cigarette ayant ce composé aromatique à un autre type de cigarette ayant un autre composé aromatique, il suffit de modifier la colle déposée par le dispositif 5. Toutes les opérations antérieures de préparation du tabac sont alors les mêmes et il n'est plus nécessaire de procéder à des stockages différenciés.In the embodiment of the process described here, an aromatic compound of the final flavor type ("Top Flavor"), for example, vanillin, maltol, furaneol, pyrazines, etc., was dissolved beforehand in the adhesive. that, when it is a question of passing from the manufacture of a type of cigarette having this aromatic compound to another type of cigarette having another aromatic compound, it suffices to modify the adhesive deposited by the device 5. All the operations tobacco preparation procedures are the same and it is no longer necessary to carry out differentiated storage.

On a constaté ainsi que pour de nombreux arômes, la quantité totale, qu'il était nécessaire d'introduire dans chaque cigarette, pouvait être adjointe à la colle sans que ses propriétés ne soient modifiées de façon fondamentale. Bien que les quantités de tels arômes ajoutés à leur solvant utilisés couramment soient de l'ordre de 1,5% en poids par rapport au tabac, on a constaté que la même quantité d'arôme exempt du solvant pouvait être introduite dans la masse de colle servant à coller l'enveloppe. On a même constaté que la colle servait en quelque sorte de fixateur, de sorte que la quantité d'arôme nécessaire pour produire le même effet qu'auparavant pouvait être diminuée.It has thus been found that for many flavors, the total quantity which it was necessary to introduce into each cigarette could be added to the glue without its properties being fundamentally modified. Although the quantities of such flavors added to their solvent commonly used are of the order of 1.5% by weight relative to tobacco, it has been found that the same quantity of flavor free of the solvent could be introduced into the mass of glue used to glue the envelope. We even found that the glue served as a kind of fixative, so that the amount of flavor needed to produce the same effect as before could be reduced.

On a également constaté que le fait d'introduire des arômes dans la colle avait d'autres avantages que la rationalisation de la préparation et du stockage du tabac. Notamment, le temps de maturation nécessaire pour le tabac aromatisé était plus court lorsque l'arôme était fixé dans la colle que lorsqu'il était introduit par aspersion du tabac. En plus, la stabilité de l'arôme était meilleure si sa libération lors du fumage d'une cigarette ainsi faite était plus régulière.It has also been found that introducing flavors into the glue has other advantages than streamlining the preparation and storage of tobacco. In particular, the ripening time required for flavored tobacco was shorter when the flavor was fixed in the glue than when it was introduced by spraying the tobacco. In addition, the stability of the aroma was better if its release when smoking a cigarette thus made was more regular.

Alors que, dans l'exemple décrit plus haut, l'arôme de tête est dissous dans la colle avant que celle-ci parvienne au dispositif 5, on peut également mettre en oeuvre le procédé sous d'autres formes. Ainsi en particulier, on pourrait placer un dispositif de dispersion immédiatement à l'aval du dispositif de dépôt de colle 5 et procéder à la dispersion de l'arôme sur la zone encollée de la bande de papier avant le repliement de celle-ci dans l'outil de formage 3.While, in the example described above, the top flavor is dissolved in the glue before it reaches the device 5, the method can also be implemented in other forms. Thus in particular, a dispersion device could be placed immediately downstream of the glue depositing device 5 and the flavoring would be dispersed over the glued area of the paper strip before it was folded into the forming tool 3.

Il est possible d'introduire dans la cigarette, par le moyen de la colle, l'ensemble de la quantité d'arôme qui confère à la cigarette la caractéristique unique que l'on désire lui donner. On peut également prévoir que la quantité d'arôme introduite en solution dans la colle ou dispersée sur la bande encollée à l'entrée de l'outil de formage contienne non seulement un arôme mais un mélange de plusieurs arômes, et que la quantité de ce mélange suffise à elle-seule à conférer à la cigarette la caractéristique unique voulue. L'introduction de l'arôme caractéristique peut être entièrement supprimée des opérations de préparation du tabac en vue de la fabrication de cette cigarette. Le tabac préparé de cette façon peut donc servir aussi à la fabrication d'un autre ou d'autres types de cigarettes présentant des caractéristiques finales différentes.It is possible to introduce into the cigarette, by means of glue, the entire quantity of aroma which gives the cigarette the unique characteristic which it is desired to give it. It can also be provided that the quantity of aroma introduced into solution in the glue or dispersed on the strip glued at the inlet of the forming tool contains not only one aroma but a mixture of several aromas, and that the quantity of this mixing alone is enough to give the cigarette the desired unique characteristic. The introduction of the characteristic flavor can be entirely eliminated from the operations of preparing tobacco for the manufacture of this cigarette. Tobacco prepared in this way can therefore also be used in the manufacture of another or other types of cigarettes with different end characteristics.

On notera encore que la qualité de papier d'enveloppement n'est pas critique pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé décrit. Les papiers usuels se prêtent sans difficulté à la réception d'une colle dans laquelle un arôme est dissous.It will also be noted that the quality of wrapping paper is not critical for the implementation of the method described. The usual papers lend themselves without difficulty to the reception of an adhesive in which an aroma is dissolved.

A titre d'exemple, on citera les données suivantes:By way of example, the following data will be cited:

D'une manière typique, on utilise pour la production des cigarettes 4,4 g de colle pour 3′500 cigarettes. Il s'agit notamment de polyvinyle-acétate. Or, on a constaté que:Typically, 4.4 g of glue is used for the production of cigarettes for 3,500 cigarettes. These include polyvinyl acetate. However, we found that:

65,6 g d'un arôme tel que l'éthylvanilline pour 1′000 g de colle produisait un effet équivalent à celui de 0,1 g d'arôme par kg de tabac, selon l'art antérieur. Ces constatations ont été faites sur des tabacs de type "American blend". Elles sont également valables pour d'autres types de tabac. Tous les arômes mentionnés plus haut produisent des effets perceptibles d'amélioration de qualité quand ils sont introduits exclusivement dans la colle de couture dans les proportions indiquées. L'effet sur la colle est imperceptible. Une conséquence importante du procédé décrit est l'élimination des solvants utilisés jusque-là pour dissoudre les additifs.65.6 g of a flavor such as ethylvanillin per 1000 g of glue produced an effect equivalent to that of 0.1 g of flavor per kg of tobacco, according to the prior art. These observations were made on tobacco of the "American blend" type. They are also valid for other types of tobacco. All the flavors mentioned above produce noticeable quality improvement effects when they are introduced exclusively into the seam glue in the proportions indicated. The effect on the glue is imperceptible. An important consequence of the process described is the elimination of the solvents hitherto used to dissolve the additives.

Enfin, on notera que l'emploi d'éthylvanilline dans le procédé décrit produit, d'une part, un effet aromatique sur le goût du tabac fumé et, d'autre part, un effet d'aromatisation secondaire.Finally, it will be noted that the use of ethylvanillin in the process described produces, on the one hand, an aromatic effect on the taste of smoked tobacco and, on the other hand, a secondary flavoring effect.
