Abstract
The method for manufacturing inductively heatable tobacco rods comprises the steps of providing a continuous profile of a susceptor, guiding an aerosol-forming tobacco substrate along a tobacco substrate converging device, positioning the continuous profile of susceptor in the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate and converging the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate to a final rod shape. Therein, the step of positioning the continuous profile of susceptor in the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate is performed before performing the step of converging the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate to its final rod shape.
Claims20
Inductively heatable smoking article comprising an inductively heatable tobacco segment of an inductively heatable tobacco rod, wherein the inductively heatable tobacco segment comprises an aerosol-forming tobacco substrate and a susceptor element, wherein the inductively heatable tobacco segment is provided with a longitudinally running folding structure, wherein the susceptor element is arranged parallel to and in between the longitudinally running folding structure of the inductively heatable tobacco segment;
- and wherein a length of the susceptor element in the tobacco segment is equal to the length of the tobacco segment.
Inductively heatable smoking article comprising an inductively heatable tobacco segment of an inductively heatable tobacco rod, the inductively heatable tobacco rod manufactured by:
- providing a continuous profile of a susceptor;
- guiding an aerosol-forming tobacco substrate along a tobacco substrate converging device, thereby providing the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate with a longitudinally running folding structure;
- positioning the continuous profile of the susceptor in the longitudinally running structure of the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate;
- converging the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate to a final rod shape, wherein the step of positioning the continuous profile of the susceptor in the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate is performed before performing the step of converging the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate to its final rod shape,
- wherein the inductively heatable tobacco segment comprises aerosol-forming tobacco substrate and a susceptor element, wherein the susceptor element is enveloped by the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate;
- and wherein a length of the susceptor element in the tobacco segment is equal to the length of the tobacco segment.
