Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus for splitting and preconditioning tobacco.
  • This initial conditioning is generally a batch process followed by line conditioning process, often a rotating cylinder.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a conditioning cylinder type, wherein the need for dry slicing the tobacco in a separate process is obviated.
  • an apparatus for opening and conditioning a block of tobacco comprising a cylinder rotatable about a substantially horizontal axis or on an axis slightly inclined to the horizontal, means for feeding the block into the cylinder and slicing means within said cylinder and driven by the cylinder rotation for effecting slicing the tobacco as it is fed into the cylinder.
  • FIG. 1 is a part section of the inlet end of a conditioning cylinder showing an opening blade secured to the cylinder;
  • a typical system Figures 1 and 2 comprises the following :-Loading station 10 which would accept unpacked compressed blocks of tobacco 11 (which could be rectangular or circular in cross section) and tip through 90 degrees such that the natural laminations within the block were substantially vertical.
  • a ram 12 driven by an indexed (intermittent) feed pusher mechanism which can withdraw for reloading to maintain continuity of slices fed into the cylinder. This requirement will require an auxiliary device with a small stroke to continue indexing the block being sliced during 'follow up' block loading.
  • a fixed block holder 13 forms an entry opening into a rotating cylinder 14 and has a vertical plate 15 that seals to the cylinder.
  • the axis of the block holder is parallel to the cylinder axis and offset from the latter a distance approximately one quarter of the cylinder diameter so that the holder (and tobacco block) lies in one half of the inner circular perimeter of the cylinder.
  • the diameter of the rotating cylinder 14, is about twice the diameter of the holder (and tobacco block) e.g., 8'0" (244 cm) diameter in order that the whole block can be accommodated in one half of cylinder.
  • Within the cylinder and fixed to it is single blade 16 with (or without) saturated air jets into the parting plane.
  • the blade is located in the other half of the inner circular perimeter of the cylinder and projects from the perimeter to or near to the axis of the cylinder so that the blade cuts a slice through the tobacco as the cylinder (and knife) rotates.
  • the cylinder rotation is typically 4 - 15 r.p.m.
  • the rotating cylinder is of known construction (similar to that disclosed in simultaneously filed Application No. 8223780 but could be conical to reduce progressively the tobacco fall height as the tobacco pads become smaller.
  • the blade 16 is joined to the wall 14 and has mounted upon it a plenum chamber 16A into which saturated air is fed via supply pipe 16B.
  • the rotating cylinder is of a reduced diameter and the diameter of the holder 13 is only slightly smaller than the diameter of the cylinder.
  • Two or more knives 20 are fixed in the cylinder and extend across it in opposite directions so as to extend across most (or all) of the cylinder diameter e.g., more than three quarters of the diameter.
  • the diameter of the rotating cylinder 14 may be approximately 5'0" (152 cm) diameter.
  • the blades peel slices (typically between 1/2" - 4" [1.3 - 10.2 cmJ) from the block which is continuously fed into the cylinder by a ram as described in the first embodiment.
  • a saturated air jet 17, fed via a supply 17A into a plenum chamber 17B may be directed into the parting plane.
  • the central portion (pip) 18 of the tobacco missed by the knives, will collapse into the cylinder.
