Abstract: Method for making artificial tobacco. Comprises preparing a homogenous composition from finely divided plant material and additives, this composition having a moisture content of from about 20 to 50 percent by weight, forming said composition into strand sections and rolling down said strand sections between squeeze rollers, operating at different relative speeds of rotation. An apparatus for performing such method is also disclosed.

Abstract: Multi-zone pharmaceutical tablets are produced by compressing the contents of a tablet mold. The contents include a granular chewing gum mass and a non-plastic tablet mass, or a chewing gum insert in the recess of a multi-layer non-plastic tablet mass. At least one zone of the tablet, preferably the chewing gum mass, contains a pharmaceutically active ingredient.

Abstract: To produce artificial tobacco from a moist paste moist paste is predried to a 15 to 25% by weight liquid content by pressing out liquid and then shaped and hardened by final drying to convert it into artificial tobacco.

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.

Abstract: The present invention provides a smokeable product such as cigars, cigarettes, pipe tobacco and the like, having meerschaum particles of 100 .mu. diameter as the absorbent and of which at least a part of the tobacco is regenerated tobacco formed of pulp and/or tobacco substitute formed of a pulp. The inventive smokable products exhibit selective absorption of certain injurious smoke components.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a smokable product such as cigars, cigarettes and the like with a paper cover, having meerschaum particles as an absorbant, characterized by the fact that the paper is admixed with the meerschaum particles which particles have a diameter of 100 mm or less. The inventive smokable products exhibit selective absorption of certain injurious smoke components.

Abstract: The present invention provides a homogeneous nicotine-free tobacco substitute which consists of:5,000 grams of filler consisting of: one or more of gramineous plants or shells of nuts, cocoa beans or coffee beans,600 grams magnesium formate50 grams tartaric acid300 grams potassium nitrate1,000 grams paraffinurea300 grams diammonium hydrogen phosphate10 grams vanillylidenurea1,500 grams sodium carboxymethylcellulose1,4000 grams glycerine150 grams diethylene glycol1,050 grams fruit concentrate600 grams raw molasses105 grams malt extract.

Abstract: An extruder nozzle for an apparatus for producing tobacco fiber from a paste, pulp, mash or slurry of comminuted botanics, which may or may not contain tobacco, binders, plasticizers and organic and inorganic salts, comprises a nozzle surface formed with a multiplicity of orifices through which strands of the dryable composition are extruded. Distributed among the orifices are openings for a compressed gas, e.g. compressed air, which passes along the fibers in the direction of extrusion thereof and hence applies an entraining force to the strands tending to break them off into fibers.
