- a dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaf is produced by the method for producing a dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaf or the device for producing a dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaf mentioned above.
- the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects.
- the method for producing a dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaf includes the steps of:
- the plant fibers include one or more selected from the group consisting of hemp pulp, bamboo pulp and wood pulp.
- the plant fibers are pulverized and defibered under an anhydrous condition to generate a base sheet by a dry air forming manner, which includes performing a destaticization process on monofilament fibers obtained by the pulverizing and defibering.
- the tobacco powder is obtained by pulverizing tobacco raw materials under an anhydrous condition.
- the smoke agent includes glycerol, propylene glycol and sorbitol, etc.
- the tobacco essence flavor includes burley tobacco absolute oil, cocoa extractive, tobacco leaf extractive and aromatic tobacco concrete, etc.
- the step of loading the coating liquid onto the base sheet includes spraying, in a non-physical contact manner, the coating liquid onto the base sheet.
- the step of performing a drying process includes placing the base sheet, on which the coating liquid is loaded, into heated air for drying. Furthermore, the step of loading the coating liquid onto the base sheet and performing a drying process includes: spraying the coating liquid onto a front face of the base sheet and then performing a drying process, if a back face of the base sheet is under a negative pressure; spraying the coating liquid onto a back face of the base sheet and performing a drying process, if a front face of the base sheet is under a negative pressure.
- the production process mainly includes the processes of tobacco powder preparation, coating liquid formulation, base sheet forming, coating and drying, adding smoke agent and/or top-note-flavor type tobacco essence flavor, etc.
- the tobacco raw materials may be pre-treated by means of microorganisms or bio-enzymes, etc., so that the macromolecular substances of the tobacco raw materials become micromolecular substances which facilitate the sensory quality for the products and volatilize more easily.
- the pre-treated tobacco raw materials after being directly pulverized and screened, are all used in coating liquid formulation, prevent the loss of effective ingredients from the tobacco raw materials, and thereby improving the comprehensive utilization ratio of the raw materials.
- the process of coating liquid formulation can not only achieve a basic function of the effectively mixing of the tobacco raw materials, adhesive, smoke agent, tobacco essence flavor and other minor ingredients, but also the demand that a large portion of materials e.g. smoke agent and tobacco essence flavor need to be added into the heat-not-burn cigarette core can be satisfied,.
- This can not only avoid too viscous coating liquid due to the addition of a large portion of smoke agent and tobacco essence flavor or the like, which affects the coating process and thus leads to unstable product quality, but also ensures that no extra pressure will be created to the drying process, such that the process is adjustable, controllable and flexible.
- the process of base sheet forming is a low quantitative base sheet forming process which can eliminate static flocculation. Not only is the process of base sheet forming applicable to a single addition of common plant fibers e.g. wood pulp, hemp pulp and bamboo pulp, but also the process of base sheet forming allows simultaneous additions of the aforementioned plant fibers, tobacco stems or even various raw fiber materials in special fibers such as tea steams, agarwood, agarwood leaf and liquorice fiber. The process has relatively good adaptability.
- the process of adding smoke agent and/or top-note-flavor type tobacco essence flavor is an innovative means which is designed to avoid the drying process and ensures, in the case of fully-dried products, that the smoke agent and top-note-flavor type tobacco essence flavor have an obvious influence on the heat-not-burn cigarette quality and fully preserve the highly volatile ingredients. In this way, the qualities of the heat-not-burn cigarette core materials and the cigarette products made from such core materials are further guaranteed.
- the smoke agent includes but is not limited to glycerol, propylene glycol and sorbitol
- the top-note-flavor type tobacco essence flavor include but are not limited to burley tobacco absolute oil, cocoa extractive, tobacco leaf extractive and aromatic tobacco concrete.
- the above materials may be directly added to the coating liquid or added separately, or may be added to the coating liquid after being processed by certain technical means, a method of which includes but is not limited to concentration and microencapsulation, so as to improve the stability and the retention rate of the above materials in the production process.

- the device for producing a dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaf for heat-not-burn cigarettes combining the characteristics of heat-not-burn cigarette core materials, add a smoke agent and/or tobacco essence flavor adding device and an online moisture monitoring device on the basis of conventional devices for producing sheet-like dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaf products, and thus further ensures a good and stable quality for the products.
- the examples of the present disclosure provide a dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaf.
- the dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaf is produced by the above method or device for producing a dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaf.
- dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaf product is a new reconstituted tobacco leaf product produced by dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaf production process using tobacco raw materials e.g. plant fibers, dry tobacco powder, and tobacco pieces, as well as adhesive, tobacco essence flavor, humectant and/or smoke agent and other auxiliary ingredients, in view of a dry air forming process.
- tobacco raw materials e.g. plant fibers, dry tobacco powder, and tobacco pieces, as well as adhesive, tobacco essence flavor, humectant and/or smoke agent and other auxiliary ingredients, in view of a dry air forming process.
- dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaf are used in the same way as paper-making reconstituted tobacco in the cigarette industry, but with characteristics such as higher filling value, richer fragrance, lower water consumption, better environmental friendliness and higher comprehensive utilization ratio of tobacco raw materials.
- the dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaf for a filter rod may be used for the filter of a regular burning cigarette.
- a novel form is created, where the cigarette filter and the cut tobacco are both made from tobacco leaf substances, and this can further effectively improve the smoke flavor of cigarettes, preserve moisture and enhance fragrance.
- dry-process reconstituted leaf products for heat-not-burn cigarettes can bear a high proportion of tobacco raw materials, smoke agent and/or tobacco flavor raw materials, and thus provide a material basis for a good sensory quality for heat-not-burn cigarette products.
- the dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaf products for heat-not-burn cigarettes have the high reducibility and the loose and porous physical structure of effective tobacco ingredients, which provides a structural basis for efficient smoke formation of the produced heat-not-burn cigarettes and effective volatilization of formed smoke, and thus further guarantees a high sensory quality and experience for the heat-not-burn cigarette products.
- the dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaf products for filter rods and for heat-not-burn cigarettes can well adapt to the forming process, composite process and cigarette making packing process for paper filter rods, making it well adaptive to processing.
- the technical solutions of the present disclosure are featured by simple process flow, low water consumption and high utilization ratio of raw materials and have their industrial applicability.
