  • Patent number: 11974594
    Abstract: The invention relates to a homogenized tobacco sheet production line comprising: A tank (501) adapted to contain a slurry formed by a tobacco powder blend, a binder (6) and an aerosol former (5) in an aqueous medium; A cast apparatus (200) adapted to receive slurry from the tank (501) and to cast the slurry so as to form a homogenized tobacco material; A movable transporting support (606) on which said slurry is casted and adapted to transport the homogenized tobacco material along a transport direction; A slitter (611) located downstream the cast apparatus (200) adapted to slit the homogenized tobacco material along the transport direction so as to form portioned homogenized tobacco sheets; and A crimper (613) located downstream the slitter (611) adapted to receive at least one of the partial homogenized tobacco sheets from the slitter (611) and to crimp the at least one of the portioned homogenized tobacco sheets. It also relates to a method for inline production of a homogenized tobacco sheet.
