- the invention relates to a method of producing tobacco material for use in HNB tobacco articles of the tobacco processing industry. Furthermore, the invention relates to a HNB tobacco article.
- the tobacco material When using a heat-not-burn tobacco article, the tobacco material is heated to a temperature lower than the temperature at which a conventional cigarette burns. The tobacco material is therefore not burned but only heated. There is no combustion process, so that unlike a conventional cigarette also no combustion products. As a result of the heating of the tobacco material, flavorings and ingredients evaporate from the tobacco material and provide for consumption in a heated air stream.
- a heat-not-burn tobacco article is to be referred to as HNB tobacco article in the context of the present description.
- RECON from English reconstituted tobacco
- RECON is well suited because it can be provided with a vapor-forming substance in which it is is a mixture of glycerine and propylene glycol.

It is further provided that the tobacco material assumes the said temperature and humidity values after the tobacco material has been threshed - ie after the threshing process. This ensures that the tobacco leaves are threshed at the desired temperature and humidity.
- the tobacco leaves have the desired mechanical properties in the mentioned temperature and humidity range. The applied low temperatures allow a gentle treatment of the tobacco material, the natural cell structure and aromas are preserved.
- the tobacco leaves are Virginia tobacco leaves and that applied in step d) Humectant between 12% and 22%, in particular between 14% and 20% and further in particular between 16% and 18%, the vapor-forming substance.
- the Virginia tobacco material after application of the humectant, has a relative humidity of between 27% and 32%, especially between 28% and 30%.
- the humectant is applied to tobacco material having a temperature between 30 ° C and 60 ° C, in particular between 40 ° C and 60 ° C, further preferably between 50 ° C and 55 ° C, has.
- the tobacco leaves are burley tobacco leaves and that applied in step d)
- Humectant between 4% and 12%, in particular between 4% and 10%, and further in particular between 5% and 8%, the vapor-forming substance.
- the burley tobacco material after application of the humectant, has a relative humidity of between 18% and 24%, more preferably between 20% and 22%.
- the temperature and humidity ranges mentioned have proven to be particularly suitable in practice.
- the tobacco material is treated gently and can thus absorb the humectant as homogeneously as possible.
- the tobacco material can absorb a sufficiently large amount of the vapor-forming substance.
- Another advantageous effect is that the tobacco material retains its aroma and nicotine content by the gentle treatment at the low temperatures mentioned.
- step e) the tobacco material is dried with hot air, wherein in particular, the hot air has a temperature of at least approximately 80 ° C, and at the end of the drying has a relative humidity between 18% and 20%.
- step e) only Virginia tobacco material is dried with hot air.
- the drying in step e) takes place in particular in a belt dryer or continuous dryer.
- the tobacco material passes through a plurality of drying zones, wherein an intermediate cooling or a rearrangement of the threshed and provided with a humectant tobacco material may be provided.
- the relative humidity of the tobacco material at the end of this drying is 18% to 20% higher than in conventional processes. For the latter, the relative humidity is typically in the range of 12.5%.
- step e1) in step e) dried Virginia tobacco material and Burley tobacco material, which was not dried in step e), are brought together and, in particular, mixed with one another.
- the method is developed in that the tobacco material provided with the humectant and dried, before it is cut in step f), in a further step e1) to a temperature between 42 ° C and 48 ° C, in particular to a temperature between 44 ° C and 46 ° C, and is brought to a relative humidity between 20% and 21%.
- Step e1) thus joins in between steps e) and f).
- the tobacco material is made supple for the subsequent cutting process.
- the cut tobacco material in step g) is dried to a relative humidity between 8% and 12%. This moisture value allows the packaging and the problem-free transport of the tobacco material.
- step f) the tobacco material in cut tobacco material having a width between 0.6 mm and 1, 7 mm, in particular to a width greater than 1, 5 mm, is cut.
- the method is further developed in that the threshed tobacco material, before the moisturizing agent is applied in step d), is sieved in a further step c1), with threshed tobacco material having a sieve size of 12.7 mm and greater following the step d) is supplied.
- the step d) thus joins in between the steps c) and d).
- the tobacco material provided with the humectant, before it in
- Step e) is dried, in an additional step d 1) is subjected to a rest and homogenization phase, which is in particular more than two hours.
- the step d 1) thus joins in between the steps d) and e).
- the tobacco material is given time to take up the vapor-forming substance.
- the humectant can be evenly distributed in the tobacco material. It is further provided in particular that the humectant is applied to both sides of the threshed tobacco material. For example, it is sprayed onto the tobacco material 5 from the top and the bottom.
- an HNB tobacco article in particular a rod-shaped HNB tobacco article, which comprises tobacco material which has been produced by a process according to one or more of the above-mentioned embodiments.
- such a HNB tobacco article provides a high proportion of vapor-forming substance.
- the HNB tobacco article has a high nicotine content, which is in particular up to 3%.
- Embodiments of the invention may fulfill individual features or a combination of several features.

- step S5 the tobacco leaves are threshed.
- step S6 the threshed tobacco material is screened using a screen width of one half inch (equivalent to 12.7 mm).
- a moisturizing agent is applied to the threshed green leaf.
- the threshed tobacco material for example, from the top or from the bottom, for example, also treated from both sides with a humectant, for example sprayed.
- the moisturizer used comprises between 16% and 24% of a vapor-forming substance, ie a mixture of propylene glycol and glycerol.
- the ratio between propylene glycol and glycerol is freely selectable, whereby it is always provided that none of the proportions of one of the two substances is at identical zero.
- the vapor-forming substance always contains both glycerol and propylene glycol.
- the order of the humectant takes place at a humidity of the tobacco material, which is between 27% and 32%.
- the temperature of the tobacco material is between 35 ° C and 50 ° C, in particular between 40 ° C and 45 ° C. So that the humectant can be homogeneously distributed on the tobacco material and can also be absorbed by it, it is provided in a subsequent method step S8 that a quiescent and homogenization phase takes place.
- the tobacco material is stored, for example, in a silo.
- the duration of this process step is, for example, two hours or more.
