    摘要: A process to improve the smoke quality and mechanical properties of reconstituted tobacco is accomplished by adding tobacco materials to an aqueous solution containing ammonium salts and urea. The resulting first tobacco slurry is then pressurized under steam pressure to at least 60 psi for a period of from 1 to 5 minutes then depressurized rapidly to ambient. The depressurized tobacco is then formed into a second tobacco slurry wherein the soluble components within the tobacco is removed. The resulting tobacco residue is then prepared into a reconstituted tobacco sheet and the extract is then concentrated to a solids level of at least 30 percent by weight of solids which is added back to the reconstituted tobacco sheet for further processing into smoking articles.

    摘要: A continuous pneumatic tobacco conveyance system is described which automatically controls the rate at which tobacco is fed into the conveyance system and automatically controls the velocity of the tobacco which is pneumatically conveyed. The system utilizes a plurality of programmable logic controllers for analyzing the velocity of the tobacco in the system and the amount of tobacco required and currently existent in cigarette making machine. The system compensates for correct airflow and velocity of the tobacco in the pneumatic piping by controlling the rate at which tobacco is fed into the conveyance system and controlling the airflow required to move the tobacco at a continuous velocity by adjusting a flow control valve attached to a vacuum source.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is given for a low residence time redrying of strip tobacco. The apparatus thoroughly and evenly dries and cools the tobacco consistently through the entire tobacco bed as it passes through the dryer and cooler. The apparatus utilizes a plurality of individually controlled fluidized bed heating zones for drying the tobacco. An additional fluidized bed cooling zone is provided to cool the tobacco prior to reordering. A continuous conveyor extends through the heating zones and cooling zones. A steam tunnel is utilized to raise the moisture content of the dried tobacco to preselected moisture levels. A vibrating conveyor moves the tobacco through the steam tunnel.

    摘要: The present invention incorporates film forming additives to modify cigarette paper in such a fashion as to reduce sidestream smoke. The sidestream smoke reduction paper includes an alginate as a film forming agent used in combination with a burn additive to form a coating to reduce visible sidestream smoke as compared to a control paper without the additives. The alginates include ammonium alginate, sodium alginate, and potassium alginate. The preferred burn additives include alkali metal salts, particularly alkali metal carboxylates, which include potassium succinate, potassium citrate, potassium acetate, sodium succinate, sodium citrate, and sodium acetate, added to the cigarette paper in combination with the film forming agents. An acid may be used in combination with a burn additive to form a precoat solution applied to the cigarette wrapping paper preceding the addition of a film forming agent. Additional burn additives may be incorporated in the film forming agent after the precoat to coat the cigarette wrapping paper and further reduce the sidestream smoke. The sidestream smoke reducing paper of the present invention imparts good smoke quality without an off-taste, gives an increased puff count, and has good ash appearance.

    摘要: An apparatus for metering a measured amount of tobacco to, for example, a cigarette making machine to provide a uniform feed of tobacco to the cigarette making machine thereby reducing variations of the tobacco in the cigarettes made by the cigarette making machine. The apparatus includes a first conveyor for receiving a supply of tobacco, a second conveyor located downstream of the first conveyor for receiving tobacco from the first conveyor. A vacuum device is associated with the second conveyor for retaining a selected metered amount of tobacco on the second conveyor. An excess tobacco receiving device is located adjacent the second conveyor for receiving excess tobacco removed from the second conveyor. A metered tobacco removing device is also located adjacent the vacuum device downstream from the excess tobacco receiving device for removing the selected metered amount of tobacco from the second conveyor for use in, for example, a cigarette making machine. The apparatus further includes an excess tobacco return device for transferring the excess tobacco back to the first conveyor to be recycled back through the apparatus.
