Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1415552A1] A rotatable tine assembly is mounted along an axis extending at a right angle to the main conveyor (18) and parallel to the layering of the parcel (10). The tines are made to enter the parcel at an entry point in a direction parallel to the layering of the parcel to accelerate a slice away from the parcel. A tobacco parcel turnover device (22) is movable to a conveyance movement direction. The axis of the tine assembly is arranged at a distance above the parcel such that the line from the axis of tine assembly to the entry point forms an angle between 14 to 24 degrees from the horizontal. An independent claim is also included for a tobacco delaminating method.
