METHOD AND PLANT FOR PRODUCING RECONSTITUTED TOBACCO

A method for producing reconstituted tobacco includes:grinding the solid components of tobacco to a particle size of about 20-220 μm,mixing the ground product with powdered cellulose, water, at least one binding agent and at least one material to form an aerosol until a slurry with a liquid content of about 30-50% is obtained,subjecting the slurry is subjected to a first lamination to obtain a continuous strip with a thickness of about 1-20 mm,subjecting the strip, already subjected to said first lamination, to a series of further lamination steps, until a strip having considerably constant thickness of about 90-280 μm,drying the strip until its liquid content is brought to about 8-15%.
