ABSTRACT:
A stream of agglomerated short, medium long and long tobacco shreds as well as clumps or lumps of shreds and elongated fragments of tobacco ribs is fed onto a vibrating sieve which permits the short and medium long shreds to descend onto a first vibrating conveyor and causes the long shreds, clumps and fragments of ribs to advance onto a second vibrating conveyor whose upper surface has longitudinally extending grooves for the fragments. The long shreds and clumps are removed from the conveyor by a rotating carded drum which breaks up the clumps and delivers the long shreds and the shreds of the broken up clumps into a duct. The latter also receives short and medium long shreds from the first conveyor which is mounted below the second conveyor. The latter has openings for short and medium long shreds which might have been entrained by the long shreds, clumps and fragments of ribs. A metering device regulates the rate of admission of long shreds and shreds of the broken-up clumps into the duct. The rate of admission of agglomerated shreds and sieve receives predetermined quantities of unsifted material per unit of time.
