Abstract (en)

An apparatus for opening a case of laminations of tobacco, comprises a vertical lift (9) for receiving a case of tobacco and for moving the latter to successive slicing positions; a pair of endless chains (12, 13) being mounted in parallel disposition; means (19-22) for driving said chains; and cutting means in the form of a wire (30) attached to and extending between said chains transversely of the movement thereof, said chains being so guided that said wire passes repeatedly over the lifting region of the vertical lifting to effect slicing. Preferably further cutting means are provided in the form of blades (25, 26) attached to said chains at a position preceding the wire in the direction of movement thereof, said blades extending horizontally from the chains and serving to effect partial separation of a slice of laminations at marginal regions of the case.
