Abstract

Conditioning apparatus for conditioning a leaf vegetable material of a fibrous nature, which apparatus comprises a perforate bed (41) whereby gaseous conditioning medium may be supplied through the perforations to establish a conditioning zone (42) immediately above the bed whereby, in use, the material can be maintained in effectively a fluidised state, the bed being supported in a frame in a manner which permits adjustment of the configuration of the bed relative to the frame at least in a direction of feed of the material to be conditioned. The bed (41) is supported above a plenum chamber (39) arranged to be supplied with conditioning medium being supplied from means comprising an inlet duct (38) for conditioning medium under pressure, said inlet duct communicating with said plenum chamber, heating means (46) provided in said first duct (51), and bleed-off means (54) associated with at least one of said first and second ducts whereby the relative proportions of heated and unheated conditioning medium entering the plenum chamber can be adjusted.
