Abstract: For the production of artificial tobacco from pulverized plant parts, liquid and additives, the liquid is continuously forced, simultaneously with but separate from the powder, into a grinding chamber from which paste is continuously removed to be shaped and dried.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSUREThe invention relates to a continuous process for the production of a paste with additives which can be formed into a smokable material, in which process a liquid and pulverized plant parts are introduced into one end of a grinding chamber, stirred and ground by grinding tools within the grinding chamber, and removed at the other end of the grinding chamber as a sieved paste.In processes of this type, the plant parts are ground to their ultimate fineness in a wet state by treating them as carefully as possible in order to avoid a tarry smoke taste.
