Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1532870A1] The assembly to separate tobacco from a compressed tobacco cake has a housing frame (11) with a cutting unit (12) and a rotating cutting plate (13), fitted with a number of cutting blades and rotating around an axis (14). A grinder (21) sharpens the cutting plate with a common counter surface (15). The assembly has at least one sensor (26) near the grinder and/or the counter surface, which registers the sound of the cutting plate in contact with the counter surface as an acoustic body sensor working on the piezo principle, and is linked to the grinder.
