ABSTRACT:
Tobacco handling apparatus that receives tobacco from a source, such as a trailer, and elevates it by a conveyor to a discharge end from which it is discharged in a flow path having a substantial maximum horizontal extent disposed above a container that has an elongated horizontal extent aligned with and underneath the flow path for receipt of the tobacco leaves in condition for subsequent curing. An oscillatable or reciprocable baffle, or a variable speed conveyor or feed roll is included for varying the horizontal extent of the flow path within the maximum extent in a generally uniform manner to cause the leaves to be distributed substantially uniformly along the elongated extent of the container. A pair of aligned tobacco containers may be used having a combined horizontal extent in the direction of the flow path corresponding to the variation of the flow path extent with two baffle plate deflectors selectively operable to fill the containers alternately, and with the containers mounted for weighing of the tobacco to provide an indication when each container is full.
