Method for manufacturing aerosol generating articles

Abstract

A method for continuously manufacturing aerosol generating articles includes: (i) providing a continuous web of an aerosol generating substrate; (ii) separating a continuous strip of aerosol generating substrate from the continuous web of aerosol generating substrate provided in step (i), the continuous strip having a substantially flat surface; (iii) applying at least one susceptor patch to the substantially flat surface of the continuous strip of aerosol generating substrate obtained by step (ii); (iv) cutting the continuous web of aerosol generating substrate to form a plurality of aerosol generating strips; and (v) combining the at least one susceptor patch and the continuous strip of aerosol generating substrate obtained by step (iii) with the plurality of aerosol generating strips obtained by step (iv) to form a continuous rod.
