Abstract (en)
An apparatus is provided for slicing and feeding tobacco comprising a horizontal trolley track (33), a trolley (31) movable along the trolley track, a slicing device including horizontally movable slicing blades (20), said slicing device being suspended from said trolley (31), a vertically movable tobacco platform (17) below the slicing blades to carry a block of tobacco leaves (10), and a horizontal conveyor belt (42) adapted to convey tobacco slices away from the slicing region. The slicing device is adapted to cut successive slices of tobacco from said block and convey them to a position over the conveyor belt and to release them on to the conveyor belt. By these means the tobacco can be sliced without the necessity of tilting and a continuous flow of tobacco slices is provided.
