Description
本発明は喫煙可能な充填（filler）材料に関し、特に凝集したタバコ充填材料およびこの材料を含む喫煙品に関する。 The present invention relates to smokable filler materials, and more particularly to agglomerated tobacco filler materials and smoking articles comprising the materials.
タバコの一次および二次処理により商業的に利用できないダストおよび微細なタバコ材が製せられる。この微細タバコ材はシリカを多く含み、その粗い表面により切断または粉砕装置を利用する後続の処理に使用するのは望ましくない。このような処理することのできない微細タバコ材は、廃棄されているのが現状である。現在の経済的傾向では、廃材を減らすことが財政および環境的理由から望まれている。またタバコ廃材を最大限に利用できる方法は、非常に大きな利益をもたらす。 The primary and secondary processing of tobacco produces dust and fine tobacco materials that are not commercially available. The fine tobacco material is rich in silica and its rough surface is undesirable for subsequent processing utilizing a cutting or grinding device. At present, such fine tobacco materials that cannot be treated are discarded. In current economic trends, reducing waste is desired for financial and environmental reasons. Also, how to make the best use of tobacco waste can be very beneficial.
再生タバコ製品を製造するために使用されている製紙工程は、効率的かつ費用の点で効果的になるように高い処理能力が必要とされている。製紙工程は、特定の工場、具体的には高価な装置が不足しているまたは材料が少ないなどの工場には適していない場合がある。高価な装置を必要としないで廃材を利用する方法があれば非常に大きな利益となる。 The papermaking process used to produce recycled tobacco products requires high throughput to be efficient and cost effective. The papermaking process may not be suitable for certain factories, specifically factories that lack expensive equipment or have few materials. There is a tremendous benefit if there is a way to use waste material without the need for expensive equipment.
再生品にタバコダストを利用することは、下記特許文献１および２に開示されているように再生シート材、バンドキャスト（band cast）材および押し出し製品などの製品に利用することが長く知られている。このような製品は、処理されたタバコダストを利用し、且つ、タバコロッドの材料の最大で３０重量％を占める材料として喫煙品に組み入れることができる。これら製品のいくつか、特にバンドキャストシートおよび押し出し製品は、取り扱い性に乏しく、後続の処理工程中に崩れやすい。このような再生品の充填値は、２．５ｃｍ３/ｇ乃至３．５ｃｍ３/ｇの範囲内にあり、これら充填値は、刻みタバコ（cut tobacco）（５ｃｍ３/ｇ乃至６ｃｍ３/ｇ）および再生タバコシート（８．０ｃｍ３/ｇ乃至８．５ｃｍ３/ｇ）の充填値より低い値である。
タバコダストおよび微細タバコ材を凝集することが、再生タバコ製品を製する手段として提案されたことがある。 Agglomeration of tobacco dust and fine tobacco material has been proposed as a means of producing recycled tobacco products.
下記特許文献３には再生タバコ材の製造方法が開示されており、この方法では葉脈（rib）および廃材を液体で湿らせ、パン生地状の塊りになるように練り合わされ、葉のような形に成形される。この葉のような形状は、圧力を加えて広げられ、フレーク状に形成される。
下記特許文献４には微細タバコ粒子、繊維、水およびバインダーからなる混合物をペレット状に形成し、刻みタバコに直接加えられる材料にするために所望の厚さにペレットをロールを用いて引き伸ばすことによってタバコ葉状の材料を製する方法が開示されている。
下記特許文献５にはタバコダストを結合材と混合し、この混合物を処理し、凝集繊維を形成する方法が開示されている。これら凝集繊維は、スラリー中でタバコ要素と混合され、製紙工程によってシート状に形成される。そのシートは、乾燥され、細かく切断される。凝集されたタバコダスト粒子は、５６メッシュスクリーンを通過しない程度の大きさであり、好ましくは２０メッシュ（０．８４ｍｍ）スクリーンを通過しない程度の大きさである。
上記これらの方法では、いずれもバインダーを加えることによって締め固められた密度の高い再生タバコ製品となる。 In any of these methods, a high density recycled tobacco product that is compacted by adding a binder.

ここで言う「充填値」とは、製品１ｇ当たりの立方センチメートルで測定した容量を意味する。充填値は、ボルグワルト（Borgwaldt）密度計（DD６０A）を用い、決められた寸法、例えば半径３ｃｍのステンレスシリンダー内に定められた重量のサンプルを取り、そのサンプルに錘（例えば約１ｋｇの余分な重さのある）が取り付けられたピストンによって圧力を３０秒間、加えることによって測定される。圧縮されたサンプルの高さを測定し、容量に変換する。結果はｃｍ３/ｇで記録される。充填値の測定は、上述の装置で行った。 The “filling value” here refers to the capacity measured in cubic centimeters per gram of product. The filling value is determined using a Borgwaldt densitometer (DD60A), taking a sample of a defined size, eg, a defined weight in a stainless steel cylinder with a radius of 3 cm, and adding a weight (eg, an extra weight of about 1 kg) to the sample. Is measured by applying pressure for 30 seconds with a piston attached. Measure the height of the compressed sample and convert it to volume. Results are recorded in cm 3 / g. The filling value was measured with the above-described apparatus.
かさ密度（bulk density）は、単位容量（ｃｍ３）当たりの製品の重さ（グラム）を測定することによって得られる。結果はｇ/ｃｍ３で記録される。 Bulk density is obtained by measuring the weight (grams) of product per unit volume (cm 3 ). Results are recorded in g / cm 3 .

タバコダストをその粒径が直径で５００μｍ未満でかさ密度が０．３ｇ／ｃｍ３から０．３８ｇ／ｃｍ３になるように粉砕する。３００から３５０ｇのタバコダストをアエロマチック−フィールダー（Aeromatic-Fielder）STREA−１の製品コンテナー内に充填する。この装置はトップスプレーノズルを用い、６０℃の空気吸い込み温度で作動する。吐き出し温度は２７℃から３９℃の範囲内である。ダストは、その後、暖かい空気流中で流動化される。バインダーを含む凝集化流体を約１０ｍｌ／分の噴射速度で２０分から６０分間、流動化されたタバコダストに噴射する。従って得られた凝集タバコ製品は、１つの工程で凝集され、乾燥される。凝集工程の終了時の凝集タバコ充填材料の水分量は、１２％から１６％の間であり、理想的には約１４％である。喫煙品に組み込む前に凝集されたタバコ充填材料をその水分量が１１％から１６％の間になるように調整する。
表１は３つの異なるタバコブレンドとそれぞれの実施例１で説明した方法で製せられた凝集タバコ充填材料の充填値を示す。なお、バインダーとしてアップルペクチン（凝集物の５重量％）を使用した。
Tobacco dust is pulverized so that its particle size is less than 500 μm in diameter and the bulk density is from 0.3 g / cm 3 to 0.38 g / cm 3 . Charge 300 to 350 g of tobacco dust into the product container of Aeromatic-Fielder STREA-1. This device uses a top spray nozzle and operates at an air inlet temperature of 60 ° C. The discharge temperature is in the range of 27 ° C to 39 ° C. The dust is then fluidized in a warm air stream. The agglomerated fluid containing the binder is sprayed onto the fluidized tobacco dust at a spray rate of about 10 ml / min for 20 to 60 minutes. Thus, the resulting agglomerated tobacco product is agglomerated and dried in one step. The moisture content of the agglomerated tobacco filler at the end of the agglomeration process is between 12% and 16%, ideally about 14%. The agglomerated tobacco filling material is adjusted so that its moisture content is between 11% and 16% before incorporation into the smoking article.
Table 1 shows the filling values of the three different tobacco blends and the agglomerated tobacco filling material produced by the method described in Example 1, respectively. Note that apple pectin (5% by weight of the aggregate) was used as a binder.
実施例１で説明した一般的な方法によって９２重量％のタバコダストと、３重量％の湿潤材と、５重量％のバインダーを含む凝集タバコ充填材を製した。 An agglomerated tobacco filler containing 92% by weight tobacco dust, 3% by weight wetting material, and 5% by weight binder was made by the general method described in Example 1.
凝集タバコ製品の強度をいくつかの異なるバインダーを用いて形成した凝集物で測定した。
それぞれの重さが２２．５ｇのボールを６つ有するパスカルボールミル（Pascal Ball-Mill）を「速度９」で作動させ、１０グラムの凝集タバコ製品を３０秒間、粉砕した。特定の大きさの網目の篩いに粉砕前後に残った凝集タバコ充填材料の重量％を記録し、異なるサンプルの脆さを算出した。
脆さは数種類の所定の大きさの編み目の篩いで次のようにして計算した
脆さ（％）＝粉砕後の凝集物（％）−粉砕前の凝集物（％）
脆さ試験の結果を表２に示す。
The strength of the agglomerated tobacco product was measured on agglomerates formed using several different binders.
A Pascal Ball-Mill with 6 balls each weighing 22.5 g was operated at “Speed 9” and 10 grams of agglomerated tobacco product was ground for 30 seconds. The weight percent of the aggregated tobacco filling material remaining before and after grinding was recorded on a sieve of a specific size, and the brittleness of different samples was calculated.
The brittleness was calculated as follows using several types of knitted mesh sieves: Brittleness (%) = Aggregate after grinding (%)-Aggregate before grinding (%)
Table 2 shows the results of the brittleness test.
STREA-１によって得られた流動床と、３５０ｇのタバコダストとを用い、凝集物の最終的なバインダー濃度が５重量％時の粒径分布を６回の凝集試験で調べた。その凝集粒径分布を表３に示す。 Using the fluidized bed obtained by STREA-1 and 350 g of tobacco dust, the particle size distribution when the final binder concentration of the aggregate was 5% by weight was examined by six aggregation tests. The aggregate particle size distribution is shown in Table 3.
標準再生タバコシート（Reconstituted Tobacco Sheet, (RTS)）を１０％取り除いたブレンドタバコ６．３ｋｇと８００μｍから１，４００μｍの凝集タバコ充填材料０．７ｋｇ（１０重量％）とからなるタバコブレンドを製した。即ち、再生タバコの代わりに凝集タバコ充填材料を使用した。 A tobacco blend consisting of 6.3 kg of blended tobacco with 10% of the standard recycled tobacco sheet (Reconstituted Tobacco Sheet, (RTS)) and 0.7 kg (10% by weight) of aggregated tobacco filling material of 800 μm to 1,400 μm made. . That is, an agglomerated tobacco filling material was used in place of the regenerated tobacco.
標準RTSを１０％取り除いたブレンドタバコ６．３ｋｇと１４００μｍから２０００μｍの凝集タバコ充填材料０．７ｋｇ（１０重量％）とからなるタバコブレンドを製した。即ち、再生タバコの代わりに凝集タバコ充填材料を使用した。 A tobacco blend consisting of 6.3 kg of blended tobacco with 10% standard RTS removed and 0.7 kg (10 wt%) of 1400 μm to 2000 μm agglomerated tobacco filler was made. That is, an agglomerated tobacco filling material was used in place of the regenerated tobacco.
１０％の標準RTSを含むタバコブレンドと６．６５ｋｇと８００μｍから１４００μｍの凝集タバコ充填材料０．３５ｋｇ（５重量％）とからなるタバコブレンドを製した。即ち、再生タバコと凝集タバコ充填材料を組み合わせて使用した。 A tobacco blend was made consisting of 6.65 kg of tobacco blend containing 10% standard RTS and 0.35 kg (5 wt%) of agglomerated tobacco filler from 800 μm to 1400 μm. That is, a combination of recycled tobacco and agglomerated tobacco filler was used.
さらに不活性材料を含む凝集タバコ充填材料を実施例１の方法で調整した。この充填材料は７６重量％のタバコダストと、１９重量％の不活性充填材料と、５重量％のバインダーを含む。 Further, an aggregated tobacco filling material containing an inert material was prepared by the method of Example 1. This filler material comprises 76% by weight tobacco dust, 19% by weight inert filler material and 5% by weight binder.
本発明の凝集タバコ充填材料を含む喫煙品の静的燃焼速度、硬度およびタバコ端部の安定性を表４に示す。 Table 4 shows the static burning rate, hardness and tobacco end stability of smoking articles containing the aggregated tobacco filler material of the present invention.
本発明の凝集タバコ充填材料を含む喫煙品の物理測定結果を表５に示す。
凝集物の充填値は、タバコブレンドの充填値より小さいので、凝集タバコ充填材料の密度は、凝集材料を含まない喫煙品の密度より高いことが予想される。しかしながら物理測定は、凝集物を含む喫煙品の密度が含まない喫煙品より低いことを示している。
Table 5 shows the physical measurement results of the smoking article containing the aggregated tobacco filling material of the present invention.
Since the agglomerate filling value is less than the tobacco blend filling value, the density of the agglomerated tobacco filling material is expected to be higher than the density of the smoking article without agglomerated material. However, physical measurements show that the density of smoking articles with aggregates is lower than that without smoking articles.
