Publication number: 20220117290Abstract: A non-combustible cigarette based on flocking technology and a manufacturing method of the cigarette are disclosed. The cigarette includes a cigarette paper layer, which is a hollow cylindrical structure. The inner wall of the cigarette paper layer is provided with an adhesive layer, and tobacco filler granules, tobacco filler filaments or tobacco filler fibers are fixedly bonded on the adhesive layer. The manufacturing method includes a flocking process and a cigarette-rolling process. The process automatically flocks filamentous, fibrous or granular tobacco to the surface of the cigarette paper, and then connects to the cigarette-rolling process to obtain the non-combustible cigarette. When the cigarette is filled with the tobacco filler granules, the complex process of using a plugging device at the open end of the cigarette is eliminated.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2020Publication date: April 21, 2022Applicant: CHINA TOBACCO YUNNAN INDUSTRIAL CO., LTDInventors: Yi HAN, Xiaowei GONG, Shoubo LI, Donglai ZHU, Liu HONG, Jianguo TANG, Tinghua LI, Wei ZHAO, Xia ZHANG, Jun WU, Shanzhai SHANG, Xudong ZHENG, Weimin GONG, Mingming MIAO
