Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006061117A1] The invention relates to a method for producing comminuted tobacco material, during which a tobacco starting material is heated and placed under pressure, whereupon this heated and material placed under pressure is guided in an unstressed manner through a shearing gap and defibrated. The invention also relates to a device for producing comminuted tobacco material with a pressure chamber, which has a tobacco material inlet on the low-pressure side, a tobacco material outlet on the pressure side, and a conveying device for conveying the tobacco material from the inlet to the outlet. The tobacco material outlet has a gap for the passage of the tobacco material that is not stressed, and this gap has gap walls that can move relative to one another. The invention additionally relates to a smoking article that has a defibrated tobacco material product comminuted in the aforementioned manner, and relates to the use of a stuffing screw extruder with a shearing gap outlet for defibrating tobacco material.
