ABSTRACT:
In continuous rod cigarette making machinery waste tobacco is collected from various sources (in particular from a stripping device for rejected cigarettes) and is fed to a separation box where non-tobacco waste is removed. The waste tobacco is then conveyed to a small hopper in which a carded drum meters the tobacco into the main tobacco shower at a point such that the surplus tobacco subsequently trimmed by the ecreteur does not consist of any waste tobacco, thereby minimising tobacco degradation. Waste tobacco may also be collected from the filter plug assembler by means of an inclined chute mounted over a conveyor which feeds the waste to the separation box.
