Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0646329A1] The apparatus for supplying tobacco to cigarette-making machines is made up of three main sections: one section for receiving one or more tobacco mixes (2), one section for distributing the tobacco (3) and one section for feeding the tobacco (4) to the cigarette-making machines. The section for distributing the tobacco comprises in particular at least one mobile container (30) which can be placed beneath (facing) the mouth of an outlet (21) in the receiving section, and then conveying this tobacco to a hopper (40) in the feeding section. In this way, the tobacco is conveyed without it being damaged, the supply of a tobacco of constant quality to the cigarette-making machines is continuous, and allocating a specific tobacco mix to a specific cigarette-making machine is a straightforward procedure. <IMAGE>
