The present invention relates to a method of preparation of a slurry for the production of a homogenized tobacco material, said method comprising: —suspending a binder in an aerosol-former to form a suspension; —creating a cellulose pulp from cellulose fibers and water; —providing a tobacco powder blend; and —combining said suspension of binder in aerosol-former, said cellulose pulp and said tobacco powder blend to form said slurry.

A low-temperature smoking body and a preparation method thereof are disclosed. The low-temperature smoking body includes tobacco particles. The tobacco particle comprise includes a particle body and a shell wrapped on the particle body. A carrier is distributed in the particle body and/or the shell. The carrier includes at least one of a raw tobacco material, a non-tobacco material, and a porous material. The carrier carries a smoking agent, and the smoking agent includes a tobacco extract and/or an atomizer. In addition, a preparation method of the low-temperature smoking body is further disclosed. The low-temperature smoking body has better smoking stability and uniformity, and the tobacco particles having core-shell structures can effectively solve the problem of liquid leakage.

The method for manufacturing inductively heatable tobacco rods comprises the steps of providing a continuous profile of a susceptor, guiding an aerosol-forming tobacco substrate along a tobacco substrate converging device, positioning the continuous profile of susceptor in the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate and converging the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate to a final rod shape. Therein, the step of positioning the continuous profile of susceptor in the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate is performed before performing the step of converging the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate to its final rod shape.

An apparatus for manufacturing of rods of a continuous material strand comprising a feeding unit for feeding material strand, a guiding unit for guiding material strand, a compressing unit for compressing the strand and forming a continuous rod of the material strand, and an object feeding unit for feeding an object to the compressing unit. The apparatus is characterised by being provided with a cutting unit for lengthwise cutting of the material strand into at least two partial strands, whereas the partial strands are fed through the guiding unit to the compressing unit. It is provided with a system for adjusting the position of at least one cutting element in the cutting unit so as to adjust the widths of the partial strands thus determining the point of insertion of the object being inserted.

The object of the application is an apparatus for the manufacturing of rods of a continuous material strand comprising a feeding unit for feeding the material strand, a guiding unit for guiding the material strand, a compressing unit for compressing the strand and forming a continuous rod of the material strand, and an object feeding unit for feeding an object to the compressing unit, the apparatus being adapted to feed three partial strands of the material strand, whereas the partial strands are fed through the guiding unit to the compressing unit characterised in that the object feeding unit is adapted to insert the object in the radial direction of the formed continuous rod into the compressing unit between the partial strands. The object of the application is also a method for the manufacturing of rods of the continuous material strand.

The aerosol-generating article (1) comprises a tobacco element and a mouthpiece element. The tobacco element comprises an aerosol-forming substrate (2), a support element (3) arranged downstream of the aerosol-forming substrate (2) and an aerosol-cooling element (4) arranged downstream of the support element.
