Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2004080215A1] Tobacco cutting apparatus (1) for cutting strands of mixed width comprises a rotatable member (12) having at least two knives (14) mounted thereon. Each knife (14) has a cutting blade extending substantially parallel to the axis of the rotatable member (12). At least one of the knives mounted on the rotatable member (12) comprises a cutting edge (18) having a width substantially equal to the width of tobacco material to be cut and at least one other knife (14) has a cutting edge (20) or a portion of its cutting edge being of a shorter width than the other or another knife (14). Strips of tobacco are cut having portions of differing depths which provide increased strength in the finished tobacco product such as cigarettes.
