Grinding the dried herb plants (S2) is subjected to the classification step (S3) to separate only those having a size of 70 ~ 80 mesh. At this time, the large powder which is not separated is transferred to the grinding step again. The organic plant or the organic binder and the inorganic binder are mixed and injected into the herb plant powder classified into 80 mesh, and the molding and injection are performed (S4). At this time, the size of the hub granules during injection to be manufactured in the range of 5 ~ 80 mesh. Since the dried herbal granules (S5), preferably for 50 to 70 hours to dry at 30 ~ 50 ℃. The dried herb granules are classified by size (S6) and commercialized. The classification is divided into two groups, 5 to 35 mesh and 35 to 80 mesh. 5 to 35 mesh is preferably used for the triple filter, and 35 to 80 mesh is preferably used for the double filter, but is not limited thereto.

The natural herb plant material to be processed in the present invention can be applied alone or in combination as long as it is a plant that is acceptable under the food additives law, the part or other part that contains the most of the herb component of the plant part in the natural state or the material It is to be used after manufacturing and manufacturing the herbal granules and the like to be suitable for the product tobacco.

More specifically, for example, peppermint, spearmint, coffee, pineapple, chamomile, orange, eucalyptus, thyme, geranium, jasmine, rosemary, lavender, lemongrass, pine needles, clobo, sage, taxol, bergamot, basil, thyme One or two or more mixtures selected from, valerian, hishop, tea tree, mir, and juniper may be used, but is not limited thereto.

 More specifically, the various herb plants are harvested from the arable land at a time when the flavor can be maintained at the highest level, and then the leaves, stems, fruits and roots are separated and collected. Of these, depending on the type of herbs can be used to the part containing a lot of herbal aroma. At this time, the harvested herbs should be dried on a drying table equipped with a mining film to avoid airy sunlight or direct sunlight, rather than using direct sunlight or an artificial heat dryer, to prevent the loss of natural herbs.

 After drying the dried sample until the appropriate moisture 5 ~ 10%, the foreign matters are sorted and coarsely pulverized to 6 mesh or less firstly with a grinder. Thereafter, the fine powder is crushed into fine particles of 80 mesh or less with a pincrasher grinder. At this time, care should be taken intermittently to ensure that the friction temperature in the grinder does not exceed 40 ° C or more.
