Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1602292A1] A cigarette maker is equipped with an infeed hopper (2), a pneumatic feed duct (4) carrying a flow of shredded tobacco (3) to the hopper (2), a carding unit (7), a descending channel (12), and an ascending channel (15) by which the tobacco (3) is directed up and onto aspirating conveyor belt (16). A separator device (18) installed upstream of the infeed hopper (2) and designed to remove foreign matter from the flow of shredded tobacco (3) is packaged as a module (19), coupled into the feed duct (4), comprising a first section (20) isolated from pneumatic pressure in the duct (4), and a second section (21) in which pneumatic pressure is reinstated; tobacco (3) advancing through the first section (20) is thinned on a conveyor belt (25) and loosened on a vibrating tray (27) in such a way as to disentangle the constituent particles and stems and redistribute the flow as a layer of relatively limited thickness, thereby favouring separation of the foreign matter. <IMAGE>
