ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for recovering tobacco from imperfect cigarettes that are ejected downstream of a cigarette-producing machine and are supplied to a recovery apparatus for opening the paper casings and separating the tobacco from the paper pieces and any filters that are present. The imperfect cigarettes of a given cigarette-producing machine are continuously supplied to an in-line recovery apparatus, which has a space-saving configuration, is coordinated to the output of the cigarette-producing machine, and is mounted adjacent thereto. Varying quantities of imperfect cigarettes are collected within the recovery apparatus, which is equipped with a rotary conveyer. A uniform stream of the recovered tobacco is returned to the cigarette-producing machine.
