摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheeted tobacco improved in balkiness while maintaining mechanical strength and water resistance, to provide a method for producing the same, and to provide an apparatus for producing the same. SOLUTION: The apparatus for conducting the method for producing the sheeted tobacco has a section where a mat M is formed by making a tobacco powder layer B intervene between nonwoven fabric-like support layers A, C and a topping unit 50 where a topped layer comprising small laminae L of tobacco leaves is formed on the mat M, wherein the topping unit 50 is equipped with a rotatable cylindrical mesh 54 for receiving the small laminae L, an adhesive solution spray 56 for spraying and applying an adhesive solution to the small laminae L received on the mesh 54, and an air spray 58 for blowing down the adhesive solution-applied small laminae L in the direction from the mesh 54 to the mat M (MR).
