Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a tobacco product.
  • Tobacco products are offered for sale in a variety of forms, e.g. In the form of cigarettes, roll-your-own or make-your-own tobacco, pipe tobacco, cigars, cigarillos or water pipe tobacco.
  • a disadvantage of these forms is that they are relatively bulky, because the tobacco is delivered in smokeless form. Furthermore, most types of tobacco are offered as a ready mix. Thus, it is almost impossible for the consumer to make his own mixture according to his own wishes and ideas.
  • the object of the invention starting from the state of the art, is to disclose a method for producing a tobacco product in which the tobacco in the packaging form has a high density and is not smokable.
  • the advantage of the method according to the invention is that the tobacco leaf layer has a high tobacco density after vacuuming. Nevertheless, the tobacco product is protected by the drying step from spoiling and from damage during transport or further processing. In order to bring the tobacco of the tobacco product into a smokable shape, it only has to be cut transversely to the sheet layer.
  • the cutting width can vary, to produce the desired fiber width. Furthermore, so also different varieties can be put together by the consumer himself to a ready to smoke mixture.
  • the tobacco leaf mixture is dried during drying to a relative humidity of 14% to 16%.
  • the tobacco product is particularly flexible and storable at the same time, without causing increased perishability.
  • the tobacco leaf mix can be flavored both before drying with sauce (flavor enhancer) and after drying and before singulation. By flavoring the tobacco flavor (fragrance aromas) is added.
  • the tobacco leaf mixture can be prepared by mixing different tobaccos, sauces and / or conditioning. These measures ensure a particularly uniform quality of the tobacco.
  • the conditioning can be carried out in particular by introducing a conditioning medium.
  • the conditioning medium may in particular be water vapor.
  • the conditioning medium can be easily introduced, in particular, when the tobacco is moved, for example in a drum.
  • the tobacco leaves of the tobacco leaf mixture are stripped before drying. In this way, only the parts of the tobacco leaf are processed, which can also be smoked.
  • Another advantage of the entanglement is that the density of the pressed and vacuumed tobacco leaf layer is increased.
  • a tobacco sheet (homogenized leaf) is added to the tobacco leaf mix.
  • the tobacco sheet may contain binder, humectant, preservative and / or additive and is preferably added prior to conditioning.
  • the tobacco leaf layer advantageously has a maximum height of 10 mm after pressing.
  • the densification of the tobacco leaf layers should be such that after cutting by the customer, the tobacco fibers can be easily detached from each other. In this way, the tobacco leaf layer is particularly handy and can be easily processed.
  • the pressed tobacco leaf layer can be trimmed along the edges before vacuuming.
  • the produced tobacco leaf layers can be brought to a uniform size.
  • the tobacco leaf layer is provided with a cover layer after vacuuming.
  • the top layer stabilizes the shape of the pressed tobacco leaf layer and ensures a particularly advantageous visual impression with the end user.
  • Several vacuum tobacco leaves layers can be stacked and made into a package. Thus, the product reaches a shape that corresponds to usual commercial sizes. Usually, these commercial sizes contain tobacco in an amount of 50 g to 100 g.
  • the process for producing the tobacco product is shown as a flowchart in Fig. 1 shown.
  • the raw tobacco products are provided. These may be, for example, the so-called strips, ie stripped tobacco leaves, or whole leaves, for example Oriental tobacco, and are present initially in step S1 or step 1a.
  • the raw tobacco products are mixed in step S2, and optionally in step S1b and / or conditioned in step 1c.
  • the tobacco mixture can also optionally be flavored in step S1e and / or supplemented with a tobacco foil, the "homogenized leave" in step S1d, in order to give the tobacco mixture the desired aroma.
  • the mixture is dried in step S3.
  • the relative humidity of the tobacco mixture is dried to a value between 11% and 16%, in particular to a value between 14% and 16%.
  • the relative humidity of at most 16% achieved in step S3 is low enough to prevent spoilage, for example due to mold formation, of the tobacco mixture.
  • the relative humidity is still high enough to prevent damage during further processing or transport by brittle fracture.
  • the dried tobacco mixture can also be flavored.
  • step S5 the dried tobacco mixture is separated or portioned.
  • tobacco foil may also be added after mixing in step S2, drying in step S3 or singulating in step S4. Subsequently, the isolated or portioned tobacco mixture is compressed in step S5, so that only a few millimeters thick layer.
  • the pressed tobacco leaf layer thus obtained is then trimmed at all edges in step S6, ie cut to obtain good handling of the tobacco leaf layers.
  • the edged Tobacco leaf layer is then optionally provided with a cover sheet and vacuumed in step S7, whereby the best possible protection and preservation of the aroma is ensured.
  • the vacuumed tobacco leaf layers are stacked and assembled.
  • the amount of stacked and ready-made layers can be oriented in particular to the desired commercial sizes.
  • a target value a commercial size with a tobacco weight of between 50 g and 100 g can be considered realistic.
  • Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of a tobacco leaf layer 1, which has already been trimmed in step S6, but is not yet vacuumed. Good to see the individual tobacco leaves 2, which are pressed together and trimmed so that the tobacco leaf layer 1 assumes a square shape.
  • the length I of the tobacco leaf layer moves in this case in a range between 100 and 150 mm, the width b in a range between 50 and 80 mm and the height h is limited to a maximum of 10 mm.
