Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008086843A1] The invention relates to a method for producing comminuted tobacco material. In said method, a starting tobacco material is heated and is brought, in a stage of the method, to a first elevated pressure; the tobacco material is pumped to a second elevated pressure that is greater than the first elevated pressure in a successive stage of the method; and the heated and pressurized tobacco material is decompressed and is guided through a shaping tool (23). The invention further relates to an apparatus of producing comminuted tobacco material, comprising a heatable pressure chamber (1) that is fitted with a tobacco material inlet, a tobacco material outlet, and a conveying device (5) for conveying the tobacco material from the inlet to the outlet and increasing the pressure of the material to a first elevated pressure, and a shaping tool (23) through which the heated and pressurized tobacco material is guided and is decompressed. A mechanical pump (7) which pumps the tobacco material to a second elevated pressure that is greater than the first elevated temperature is inserted between the pressure chamber (1) and the shaping tool (23).
