Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0497540A2] Apparatus for processing tobacco bales, comprising slicer means (1) for successively cutting slices from a bale; a pusher device (2) for moving the cut slices away from the slicer blade; and a conveyor (6) for receiving the slices from the pusher and delivering them to a further processing device (5). The combination of the conveyor and pusher enables a predetermined and controllable loading space for the addition of any additional loose tobacco (or other material) whilst avoiding the requirement of a long travel mechanism for the pusher.
