CA 2398951

The invention relates to a method for improving the filling ability of tobacco, such as cut tobacco leaves, or ribs, or tobacco additives, whereby the tobacco material with an initial water content of up to 15 wt % is treated with a gas, comprising nitrogen and/or argon, at pressures from 50 to 1000 bar with a continuous, or staged compression, followed by a continuous or staged decompression, whereby the compression and decompression steps occur in, either an autoclave, or a cascade-like series of several autoclaves and, finally, a thermal after-treatment of the withdrawn tobacco material. The invention is characterised in that the compression is carried out at a working temperature of over 55 ~C, preferably from 60 to 90 ~C and the final water content of the tobacco is in the range of 8 to 14 wt. %.

L'invention concerne un procédé pour améliorer le pouvoir de remplissage de tabac, par exemple de feuilles ou de côtes de tabac coupées, ou d'additifs végétaux pour tabac, par traitement de tabac présentant une humidité initiale allant jusqu'à environ 15 % en poids, avec un gaz de traitement constitué d'azote et/ou d'argon, à des pressions comprises entre 50 et 1000 bars, la compression étant réalisée de manière continue ou progressive, puis par une décompression continue ou progressive, les étapes de compression et de décompression étant réalisées soit dans un autoclave soit dans plusieurs autoclaves montés en cascade, et enfin par un traitement thermique ultérieur du tabac traité. L'invention est caractérisée en ce que la compression s'effectue à une température de travail supérieure à 55 ·C, de préférence entre 60 et 90 ·C, et en ce que l'humidité initiale du tabac est comprise entre 8 et 14 % en poids.
