Fibrosis of tobacco material

Abstract

An integrated storage arrangement for a vehicle having a cargo bed with a load floor positioned external to a passenger cab of the vehicle is provided. The storage arrangement includes an access opening positioned in the load floor of the cargo bed. A storage recess is positioned in relation to and accessible through the access opening. The storage recess includes a drain assembly and a containerretention mechanism. A panel is moveably attached to the load floor of the cargo bed and is arranged to cover the access opening such that in a closed position, the cover is positioned substantially parallel to and flush with the cargo bed load floor.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to the fibrillation of tobacco material. In particular it relates to the manufacture of shredded tobacco material by fibrillation, and in particular the invention is used to fibrillate tobacco stem material to produce a product with very particularly advantageous properties which can ultimately be used in the manufacture of smoking articles. Background technique [0002] In tobacco preparation, that is to say, in those processing steps that are carried out before actual cigarette manufacturing and packaging, the most important tobacco materials, that is, tobacco leaves (Lamina) and tobacco stems (Stems) can be used for manufacturing Smoking articles are previously subjected to various processing steps. Smoking products can be, for example, cigarettes, cigarillos, roll-and-roll and rod products, and fine or shredded tobacco. Tobacco stems can also be used at least in part in all these smoking articles. [0003] The tobacco stem...

Problems solved by technology

For the usual standard method described, a high degree of humidification is necessary, which brings about another major disadvantage, that is to say, the shredded tobacco material must be dried, wherein such a drying process is energy-intensive and expensive for equipment.

[0005] The method of stalk comminution has a major disadvantage besides the necessity of very high processing humidity, for example approximately 40% to 45% processing humidity: the comminuted material has too many fines, that is to say approximately 15%- 30%, depending on the process, these fines must be sieved and either thrown away or processed into a film for recycling, and some other methods, such as the method of using grinding when chopping the stems, also have this disadvantage

Occur again the shortcoming of above-mentioned application adhesive like this

Another disadvantage is that such a process is basically not suitable for processing relatively coarse tobacco material, because it is designed by a large number of small particles to produce larger lumps
