A device for separating light flaky cut rolled stems (CRSs) by a throwing roller is provided. The device includes a vertically provided separation bin, and a CRS guide device and a CRS distribution plate which are arranged in the separation bin. The present disclosure further provides a method for separating light flaky CRSs by using the device. The present disclosure achieves full separation of finished CRSs from light flaky CRSs. The device of the present disclosure is designed for the first time, and can be directly connected to a pneumatic CRS feeding and discharging section of a production line. The device of the present disclosure is compact and suitable for industrial production.

The present disclosure describes a grinding apparatus preferably comprised of upper, central and lower bodies that are magnetically connected to one another. The central body is further comprised of cutting edges positioned on a center portion to cut and evacuate herbs. The upper body is comprised of outer grinding teeth that can cut and grind herbs trapped proximate an outer rim of the central body. Inner grinding teeth positioned on the upper body and having curved inner faces abut against a correspondingly cylindrical member of the central body to limit the radial play between the upper and central bodies during operation. A teeth or gear system is also disclosed to provide torque transfer and facilitate the connection between the central and lower bodies.

A stem screening and conditioning device includes a roller, a thermal insulation cover, a spiral feeding device, a compressed-air cleaning device, a steam tube, a discharge hole, and a waste hole. A stem screening and conditioning method for the stem screening and conditioning device is also provided. The present disclosure realizes the complete separation of normal-size and undersized stems under the premise of full moisture absorption, thereby improving the refinement and homogenization level of stem conditioning.

A method of processing tobacco fines into a non-continuous tobacco material, the method including providing a pre-sized tobacco stem material that has a Dp90 particle size of less than 3 mm and a Dp50 particle size of less than 2 mm. The method also includes combining the pre-sized tobacco stem material with tobacco fines to provide a tobacco initial material, and processing the initial material by setting the initial material to a predefined increased moisture content, subjecting the initial material to an increase in temperature and subjecting the initial material an increased pressure in order to bind the tobacco fines to the tobacco stem material. There is also provided a non-continuous tobacco material produced by the method, a component for a delivery system including non-continuous tobacco material produced by the method, a product and a smoking article including the component.
