Abstract
An apparatus for making and/or treating a sheet made of material including vegetable and/or alkaloid substances. The apparatus includes a heating unit, a cooling unit, and a collecting unit arranged in this order along an advancement direction of the sheet. Specifically, the cooling unit can receive the sheet in a cooling space and herein to cool it by forced gas cooling which can provide a first forced cooling gas flow and a second forced cooling gas flow at the cooling space, and operatively direct each forced cooling gas flow on at least a portion of a respective face of the sheet.
Claims10
An apparatus for making and/or treating a sheet made of material comprising vegetable and/or alkaloid substances wherein the sheet is provided with a first face and with a second face opposite each other,
- the apparatus including a heating unit, a cooling unit, and a collecting unit arranged in this order along an advancement direction of the sheet,
- the heating unit being configured to heat the sheet, the cooling unit being configured to receive the sheet in a cooling space and herein to cool the sheet by means of forced gas cooling means, and the collecting unit being configured to collect the sheet or portions thereof,
- wherein
- the forced gas cooling means are configured to provide a first forced cooling gas flow and a second forced cooling gas flow at the cooling space, and
- the forced gas cooling means are further configured to operatively direct the first forced cooling gas flow on at least a portion of the first face of the sheet and the second forced cooling gas flow on at least a portion of the second face of the sheet.
A method for making and/or treating a sheet made of material comprising vegetable and/or alkaloid substances, wherein the sheet is provided with a first face and with a second face opposite each other,
- the method including in the following order the steps of heating the sheet, cooling the sheet in a cooling space, and collecting the sheet or portions thereof,
- wherein
- the cooling step comprises the steps of:
- providing a first forced cooling gas flow and a second forced cooling gas flow at the cooling space, and
- contacting the first forced cooling gas flow with at least a portion of the first face of the sheet and the second forced cooling gas flow with at least a portion of the second face of the sheet.
