Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fördervorrichtung zum Erzeugen einer Tabakmonolage, deren weitgehend vereinzelten Tabakteile einer speziellen Weiterbehandlung, wie der Fremdkörpererkennung und -ausscheidung unterzogen werden können.
Es ist das Ziel, auf einem Fördermittel ein einlagiges, geschlossenes Tabakvlies zu bilden.
Erreicht wird dies durch aufeinanderfolgende, in Förderrichtung (2) mit steigender Geschwindigkeit betriebene Fördermittel (4, 7), von denen das stromabwärtige, schnellerlaufende Fördermittel (7) aus zwei übereinanderliegenden Förderbändern (8, 9) besteht, die einen Förderkanal (11) bilden, und das stromaufwärtige Fördermittel (4) als Schwingförderer (6) ausgebildet ist, der eine profilierte Abwurfkante (24) aufweist.
Mit Hilfe einer derartigen Anordnung und Ausgestaltung der Fördermittel läßt sich bei hoher Förderleistung eine weitgehend vergleichmäßigte bzw. lückenlose Tabakmonolage erzeugen.

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to a conveyor device for producing a tobacco monolayer, the largely isolated tobacco parts of which can be subjected to a special further treatment, such as the detection and removal of foreign bodies.
The aim is to form a single-layer, closed tobacco fleece on a funding.
This is achieved by successive conveyors (4, 7) operated in the direction of conveyance (2) with increasing speed, of which the downstream, faster-running conveyors (7) consist of two superimposed conveyor belts (8, 9) that form a conveyor channel (11) , and the upstream conveying means (4) is designed as an oscillating conveyor (6) which has a profiled discharge edge (24).
With the aid of such an arrangement and design of the funding, a largely uniform or complete tobacco monolayer can be produced with a high delivery rate.
