ABSTRACT:
Bulk weight of a stream of tobacco leaves which are transported toward a destalking machine is ascertained by equalizing the stream and determining the density of the equalized stream. Signals which denote the density of the stream are used to regulate the rate of admission of compressed classifying air into the destalking machine wherein compressed air separates tobacco leaf laminae from tobacco ribs.
