Mixed fiber product for use in the manufacture of cigarette filter elements and related methods, systems, and apparatuses

A system configured to produce smokable products including filter elements formed from multiple fibers is provided. The system includes a texturing apparatus configured to combine the fibers such thatthe fibers are at least partially entangled with each other and form a mixed fiber product. The entangled fibers may be sufficiently separated from one another such that plasticizer may be applied tothe mixed fiber product without necessarily performing tow opening, crimp removal, or blooming operations. The fibers combined to form the mixed fiber product may define characteristics that differ or which are the same. Accordingly, filter elements may be produced that include different fibers that have respective desirable properties associated therewith. Related methods, apparatuses and mixedfiber products are also provided by the disclosure. 本发明提供了种被构造成生产可抽吸产品的系统，所述可抽吸产品包括从多种纤维形成的过滤元件。所述系统包括织构设备，所述织构设备被构造成组合所述纤维，使得所述纤维至少部分地彼此缠绕和形成混合纤维产品。所述缠绕的纤维可以彼此充分分离，使得可以将塑化剂施加于所述混合纤维产品，而不必执行丝束打开操作、波浪形除去操作或初轧操作。被组合以形成所述混合纤维产品的纤维
