    摘要: There is disclosed a Heated Tobacco (HT) consumable having a closed end. By closing the end so that the tobacco portion is not exposed to a distal end, advantageously, a consumable is provided that reduces the risk or likelihood of tobacco from falling out or being pulled out from the consumable in use or during transportation and / or during the production process.
    There is therefore provided a method of manufacturing a consumable, wherein a plurality of membranes are simultaneously pushed onto a plurality of part-processed consumables at the packer. The method preferably comprises arranging the plurality of consumables into an array before pushing on the plurality of membranes.

    摘要: An inspection device 50 for a filter 4 inspects the filter 4, which is provided to a flavor inhalation article 1. The filter 4 is provided with a mouthpiece end 16, a solid material 12, and a communication path 24 that communicates with the solid material 12 and opens to the mouthpiece end 16. The inspection device 50 is provided with: an illumination 52 for irradiating an inspection light onto the mouthpiece end 16 in an irradiation direction that extends along the axial direction X; a camera 54 for photographing the peripheral surface of the filter 4 in a photographing direction that extends along the radial direction Y of the filter 4; an image processing unit 62 for processing an image photographed by the camera 54 and detecting a shadow 68 of the solid material 12; and, an assessment unit 64 for assessing the presence or absence and the quality of the solid material 12 on the basis of the shadow 68 detected by the image processing unit 62.
