Definitions
- the small pieces of treatment material pass through a screen into the rotary valve 10 so as to prevent pieces above a predetermined size passing into the muller 9.
- the finely powdered treatment tobacco particles (1- 500 microns) then pass along the trunk 13 into a cyclone chamber 16.
- This comprises a number of separating tubes 17 having peripheral slots, the arrangement being such that the air current flowing past the slots acts to swirl the powdered material into the tubes, down which it falls through a rotary valve 18 on to a conveyor 19.
- the conveyor 19 is enclosed by a shield 20, and this shield continues as far as an entry hopper 21 to a centrifugal separator 22.
- a funnel 64 provides a passage, leading through a fan 65 to a filter sock 66, in which surplus powder may be collected.
- the above apparatus works in the following manner: Treatment material is fed from the conveyor 41 into the mixing and drying chamber 42 and by the conveyor 43 to the first mill 44 where it is chopped into small fragments. These fragments are then ground in the second mill 46 to particles of powder on the order of 1 to 75 microns and said powder is then fed from a weighing conveyor 6311, into the rotating cylinder 60.
- the process tobacco and powdered treatment material are thoroughly mixed and delivered to the conveyor 62 which carries the treated tobacco away for further manufacturing operations. It will be appreciated that by providing the conveyor 41 and the conveyor 63a as weighing conveyors, the proportion of powdered treatment material being applied to the process tobacco can readily be controlled.
- FIG. 7 corresponds substantially with that above described with regard to FIGS. 6 and 6a, except that the second mill 46 feeds the powdered treatment material to a powder blower 67, from which the powder is forcibly applied to the process tobacco through a pipe line 28.
- the parts in FIG. 7 have been given the same numbering as FIG. 6a and the operation is the same, except that instead of applying the treatment material to the process tobacco by mixing it therewith in the cylinder 60, said treatment material is forcibly blown into said chamber by the powder blower 67 so that the process tobacco, in passing through the chamber, passes through an atmosphere containing powdered treatment material.
- the moistened tobacco 10? issues from the cylinder 104 and isdeposited on an endless conveyor 110, which delivers it to a second cylinder 111 that rotates on wheels 1112 and 113.
- Theadditive materials may be ground with tobacco to produce an intimate mixture of finely powdered to-
- additive materials e.g. when it is desired to apply additive materials to. tobaccosof relatively. little stickiness, such. as Burley tobacco, 'or when it is desired to apply, a large quantity ofboth powdered tobacco and additive materials to tobacco, it may be desirable to increase the stickiness of the tobacco to be treated.
