An apparatus () for filling cigarette tubes with tobacco comprises a base (), a magazine chamber () adapted to receive a supply of tobacco (T), a lid () adapted to close a top of the magazine chamber (), a filling chamber () adapted to receive the tobacco to be filled into a cigarette tube, a stamp () adapted to shape the tobacco of the filling chamber (), and a slider arranged in the filling chamber () which transfers the tobacco of the filling chamber () into a cigarette tube supported in front of the filling chamber (). A press-down lever () is connected to the stamp () and to a coupling mechanism in order to move the slider after actuation of the stamp (). A pusher for forwarding the tobacco in the magazine chamber can also be coupled to the press-down lever.

Apparatus for filling cigarette tubes with tobacco

A system for self-assembly of cigarettes includes a stuffing device () and a tobacco package (). The tobacco package () has a first end side () and a second end side (), and comprises on both end sides () a cover that protrudes for the distance. The tobacco package () is filled with tobacco (). The stuffing device () comprises a pressing chamber () having a longitudinal direction, into which the tobacco () can be filled via a longitudinal filling opening (), the tobacco being able to be formed into a tobacco strand by means of a pressing bar () that can be moved laterally to the longitudinal direction of the pressing chamber (), and a pushing device () that can be transferred from the pressing chamber () into a cigarette paper wrap disposed in front of the pressing chamber () by means of a sliding device () that can be moved in a longitudinal direction of the pressing chamber (). The tobacco package () is inserted with its second end side () in front such that the second end side () of the tobacco package () is disposed above the filling opening () of the pressing chamber ().

System for self-assembly of cigarettes

The invention relates to a process for enhancing the filling capacity of tobacco, such as cut tobacco leaf or tobacco midribs, or tobacco additional material, by treating the tobacco material having an initial moisture of 10-30% with a treatment gas consisting of nitrogen and/or argon at pressures of 400 to 1,000 bar followed by a continuous decompression and subsequent thermal post-treatment of the discharged tobacco material. The filling density of the tobacco charge in the autoclave is greater than 0.2 kg/dm.
