Abstract: The invention relates to a cartridge for an aerosol-generating device and the respective aerosol-generating device. The cartridge comprises aerosol-generating beads comprising an aerosol-forming substrate and storage element configured to store the aerosol-generating beads. The storage element is configured to allow loading of the aerosol-generating beads from the storage element. The aerosol-generating device comprises a receiving region configured to receive the cartridge, the heating arrangement configured to heat the aerosol-generating beads, and a loading element configured to load the aerosol-generating beads from the cartridge into or adjacent to the heating arrangement and to remove used beads from the heating arrangement.

Abstract: A coating module for variable speed ribbon coating, the coating module including a ribbon including an inner face and an outer face; a conveyor system including a support element holding and transporting the ribbon on its inner face; a squeeze ink roller arranged in contact with the outer face of the ribbon; the squeeze ink roller including an outer layer made of elastic material; a reservoir assembly designed to hold ink thereon and to feed the squeeze ink roller with the ink, and a pressure controller including an active element for pressing the ribbon between the squeeze ink roller and the support roller along a coating zone.
