Abstract
A filter part (1, 1′) for use in an aerosol generating article and a method of manufacturing the filter part (1, 1′). The filter part (1, 1′) includes an aerosol permeable core (2) within a sleeve (3) formed integrally therearound. The core (2) is shorter than the integrally formed sleeve (3). The method includes conveying a plurality of aerosol permeable cores (2) along a conveying path at a first speed (S1) and forming a sleeve (3) around each core (2) at a second speed (S2). The second speed (S2) is greater than the first speed (S1) to generate a space between consecutive cores (2) within the sleeve (3).
Claims7
A method of manufacturing an aerosol permeation element for use in an aerosol generating article, the method comprising:
- conveying a plurality of aerosol permeable cores along a conveying path at a first speed;
- and
- forming a sleeve around each core at a second speed greater than the first speed to generate a space between consecutive cores within the sleeve.
An apparatus for manufacturing an aerosol permeation element of an aerosol generating article, the apparatus comprising:
- a conveyor configured to convey a plurality of aerosol permeable cores along a conveying path at a first speed;
- a sleeve former configured to form a sleeve around each aerosol permeable core at a second speed, wherein the second speed is greater than the first speed to generate a space between consecutive aerosol permeable cores within the sleeve;
- and
- a computer program element comprising computer readable program code configured to cause the conveyor to convey the plurality of aerosol permeable cores along the conveying path at the first speed and to cause the sleeve former to form the sleeve around each aerosol permeable core at the second speed.
