A flavouring component (43) for a smoking article (50) comprising a rod (33) of flavouring material (17). The flavouring material (17) comprises a carrier material (15) and flavouring particles (14) adhered to the carrier material (15) by means of a binder (13). The flavouring material (17) is formed by passing the carrier material (15) through a mixture (12) comprising the binder (13) and the flavouring particles (14). Also disclosed is a smoking article (50) including such a flavouring component (43), and an apparatus (10) and method for manufacturing such a flavouring component (43).

An apparatus and methods for manufacturing articles for use as or in an aerosol provision system as well as an apparatus and methods for applying a substance in liquid form to a substrate, such as a sheet material wrapper for an article for use as or in an aerosol provision system. The apparatus includes a rod forming portion which forms one or more portions of sheet material into a rod. A first applicator applies a first substance in liquid form to the one or more portions of sheet material. An air flow nozzle also supplies a heated flow of air to the rod forming portion. A substance in liquid form can be applied to a substrate with an apparatus including a conduit and at least one nozzle. The conduit and/or nozzle are heated to a temperature greater than the melting point of the substance.

The present invention relates to an article for use in a non-combustible aerosol provision system, an apparatus for manufacturing an article for use in a non-combustible aerosol provision system, and a method of manufacturing an article for use in a non-combustible aerosol provision system. The article comprises an aerosol-generating material segment (20) and a susceptor (25) located therein, wherein first and second ends (26, 27) of the susceptor are located within about .sub.5 mm of the first and second ends of the aerosol-generating material segment, respectively. The method of manufacturing the article comprises: feeding an aerosol-generating material along a feed path; inserting a susceptor into the feed path; gathering the aerosol-generating material around a susceptor to create a rod; and cutting the rod into a segment comprising a susceptor. The apparatus comprises: a susceptor inserter; a gatherer to gather aerosol-generating material around a susceptor to form a rod; and a first cutter to cut the rod into segments comprising a susceptor.

The method includes transporting tobacco into and through a shaft of a tongue of a compression box, and compressing the tobacco into a tobacco rod as the tobacco is transported through the compression box, the compression box including a first plate, a first portion of the first plate being formed over an upper portion of the shaft, the first portion running along a majority of a longitudinal length of the shaft.

A system for portioning a beaded substrate in a rod. The system includes a suction conveyor belt. The suction conveyor belt includes a belt suction chamber, a first belt end, and a second belt end, the second belt end opposite and downstream of the first belt end. The system also includes a metering device configured to provide the beaded substrate to the suction conveyor belt, and more specifically to the first belt end. The metering device includes a reach and a hopper. The metering device may provide the beaded substrate to the first belt end prior to the suction conveyor belt biasing a filler material onto the first belt end. The system may further includes a cutting mechanism that cooperates with the metering device to position the beaded substrate a first distance away from a first cut end.

The present disclosure relates to an article (1) for use in an aerosol provision system (200). The article (1) comprises an aerosol generating material (3), a receiving member (2) and a blocking member (4). The receiving member (2) comprises an end wall (8), an open end (7), and a peripheral wall (5) that surrounds a storage area (6) containing the aerosol-generating material (3). The blocking member (4) comprises a body of material (12) arranged to resist the aerosol-generating material (3) from moving out of the storage area (6) through the open end (7) of the receiving member (2). The present disclosure also relates to a method (100) of manufacturing an article (1) for use in an aerosol provision system (200). The present disclosure also relates to an aerosol provision system (200) comprising an article (1) and to a package of articles. The present disclosure also relates to a sheet material (9) for forming a receiving member (2) for an aerosol provision system article (1), a receiving member (2) for an aerosol provision device system (200), and a method of manufacturing a sheet material (9).

Various embodiments herein relate to machinery for forming smoking articles of cannabis compositions. In at least one embodiment, there is provided a system for alcohol-based lubrication for pre-roll machinery comprising: a reservoir tank for retaining lubricant fluid; a tube conduit having a first end fluidically coupled to the reservoir tank and an open second end; and a modified pre-roll member having a fluid-receiving opening coupled to the second tube end, the modified pre-roll member further comprising a bottom contact surface including one or more fluid exit openings coupled to the fluid-receiving opening.

The method includes transporting tobacco into and through a shaft of a tongue of a compression box, and compressing the tobacco into a tobacco rod as the tobacco is transported through the compression box, the compression box including a first plate, a first portion of the first plate being formed over an upper portion of the shaft, the first portion running along a majority of a longitudinal length of the shaft.

A method for producing an aerosol-generating rod is provided, including: conveying a web material over a contact surface of a contact body such that the web material is in contact with the contact surface, the contact surface being curved around an axial direction and tapered along the axial direction, and a continuous portion of the contact surface spanning at least an angle of 90 degrees around the axial direction; dispensing an additive through at least one additive dispensing opening provided in the contact surface; and conveying the web material through a converging device provided downstream of the contact body, the web material being formed into a rod within the converging device.
