Aerosol-generating article, aerosol-generating pellet, method for forming aerosol-generating pellets and aerosol-generating system comprising aerosol-generating pellets

An inductively heatable aerosol-generating article comprising:

• a casing and a plurality of inductively heatable aerosol-generating particles arranged in the casing,
• wherein the inductively heatable aerosol-generating particles of the plurality of inductively heatable aerosol-generating particles comprise a core of susceptor material comprising ferromagnetic material, which core of susceptor material is coated with aerosol-forming substrate,
• wherein the plurality of inductively heatable aerosol-generating particles forms more than one pre-formed aerosol-generating pellet, wherein the casing comprises a longitudinal shape having a longitudinal axis, wherein the more than one aerosol-generating pellets are arranged at a distance to each other along the longitudinal axis of the casing, and wherein the distance is formed by a gap in a range between 1 mm and 9 mm, and
• wherein the more than one aerosol-generating pellets are spaced apart from ends of the casing such that none of the plurality of inductively heatable aerosol-generating particles that form the more than one aerosol-generating pellets are in contact with the ends of the casing to form an empty space that extends continuously from each end of the casing to the plurality of inductively heatable aerosol-generating particles that form a closest pellet of the more than one pellet.
