Abstract
A method and apparatus for coating reconstituted tobacco are provided. A web of reconstituted tobacco is coated on both sides with slurries of tobacco particles in tobacco sizing liquor. A forward roll coater coats one side, and supports the web while a reverse roll coater coats the other side. The web adheres to the forward roll coater by virtue of the presence of the coating on the first side, so that the reverse roll coater does not tear the wet, relatively weak web.
