FIELD: aerosol-generating systems.
SUBSTANCE: proposed group of inventions relates to an induction heated aerosol generating article for use with a device that generates an aerosol by induction heating, as well as to a method for manufacturing induction heated segments of an aerosol generating rod. The product contains a rod segment that forms an aerosol, having a cylindrical shape with a constant external cross-section. The aerosol-generating rod segment comprises an elongated susceptor element and an aerosol-generating substrate surrounding the susceptor element so as to form a cylindrical shape of the rod segment. The susceptor element comprises at least one narrower portion at each extreme end of the susceptor element and/or at least one narrower portion between both extreme ends of the susceptor element, wherein the corresponding narrower portion has a reduced cross-section compared to one or more portions along the length of the current-receiving element, having the maximum cross-section of the current-receiving element. A method of producing induction heated aerosol-generating rod segments in a continuous rod forming process involves using a continuous pantograph profile having a reduced cross-section at spaced locations along its length.
EFFECT: improved placement of the current-receiving element inside the substrate to ensure sufficient heating of the substrate and ensure sufficient consistency of the product.
