Definitions

  • the foreign body recognition is preferably carried out by means of a detection of the brightness and / or color of the objects contained in the tobacco stream.
  • objects is meant in particular tobacco, tobacco leaves, cut tobacco and foreign matter.
  • the conveying speed of the tobacco stream is according to the DE 10 2004 015 463 B4 and also according to the invention between 6m / s and 30m / s, in particular between 17m / s and 30m / s.
  • the preferred speed is a very effective promotion of tobacco flow provided, whereby a very high throughput is possible.
  • EP 1 838 464 B1 For example, a method and apparatus for sorting a stream of generally flat and lightweight articles of different dimensions are known, wherein the articles to be sorted out are extracted by suction by suction from the main stream by suction.
  • the devices and the method according to the prior art all have the disadvantage that after sorting the Foreign bodies which are sorted out with any sorted out and actually good or acceptable tobacco leaves in a relatively large amount, so that a relatively high tobacco loss arises.
  • a re-sorting is necessary, which is carried out in the prior art on conveyor belts in an optical process. This leads to a very high expenditure on equipment and, in spite of everything, to results which can be improved.
  • Object of the present invention is to allow an improved rate of rejected foreign body to tobacco particles.
  • a control or regulating device 52 which, for example, determines the frequency or the rotational speed of the fan the conveying speed of the tobacco stream controls or regulates.
  • the speed can also be controlled or regulated via a pressure measurement by a pressure sensor 53 in the tobacco-free air flow in the feed pipe 33 or in the discharge pipe 31.
  • a portion of the conveying air for the regeneration for example, for cooling, is discharged from the discharge pipe 31.
  • delivery air quantities of about 24,000 m 3 / h are provided.
