Abstract
The invention relates to a method of producing cut tobacco material, whereby a tobacco starting material is heated and brought to a first increased pressure in one method stage; whereby the tobacco material is pumped to a second increased pressure in the second method stage which is higher than the first increased pressure; and whereby the tobacco material, heated and placed under pressure, is expanded and fed through a forming tool (23). It further relates to a device for producing cut tobacco material comprising a heatable pressure chamber (1) with a tobacco material inlet, a tobacco material outlet and a conveying mechanism (5) for conveying the tobacco material from the inlet to the outlet and for increasing the pressure of the material to a first increased pressure, and with a forming tool (23) by means of which the tobacco material, heated and placed under pressure, is conveyed and expanded, and a mechanical pump (7) is integrated between the pressure chamber (1) and the forming tool (23) which pumps the tobacco material to a second increased pressure which is higher than the first increased pressure.
