No. 4,867,180 disclose a tobacco feed device for a cigarette production machine, in which jammed tobacco is removed from a stowage shaft by means of two metering rollers and is separated and separated by means of an opening roller. The tobacco is compressed between the metering rollers, whereby the fiber structure of the tobacco can be destroyed by mechanical force.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a separating device with improved separating effect.
- the separating device has at least three rotatably driven separating pulleys which are operatively connected and which are designed and arranged in such a way that the tobacco fibers release the pulp rotating separating rollers pass substantially congestion.
- the forces exerted on the tobacco by the separating rollers are directed differently, whereby the tobacco fibers are subjected to shearing forces which, on the one hand, hold the tobacco and on the other hand remove it, thereby leading to an effective separation of the tobacco fibers.
- the tobacco fibers pass through the separating rollers substantially without jamming, so they are not dammed up and combed off in order to avoid a mechanical impairment of the tobacco fibers due to a compression of the accumulated tobacco between the separating rollers.
- This can be achieved, in particular, by a suitable spacing of the separating rollers from one another and / or by a suitable number, arrangement and length of separating elements, for example pins, attached to the separating rollers.
- the passage speed of the tobacco through the separating device is determined primarily by the free flow rate of the tobacco in the flow path, and less by the rotational speed of the separating rollers.
- the separating device can in particular be designed so that the flowing tobacco can pass through the separating device even with stationary separating rollers substantially free of congestion, at least at low tobacco mass flow.
- At least one of the separating rollers on outlet openings for a medium, in particular air, steam or a mixture thereof.
- a medium in particular air, steam or a mixture thereof.
- the separating rollers are driven individually in order to be able to individually adjust the rotational speed and / or direction of rotation of the separating rollers in a simple manner.
- the following features are preferably realized alternatively or in combination: opposite directions of rotation of the separating rollers; differently designed nozzles for the medium; different surface conditions of the separating rollers and / or separating elements attached thereto, for example pens.
- the rotational speeds of the separating rollers can be individually adjusted according to the requirements or the type of tobacco.
- the separating rollers are arranged on a common, adjustable carrier in order to make it possible to adapt to the respective requirements or the respective type of tobacco by adjusting the carrier relative to the flow path.
- the carrier may be rotatably mounted. It can also be provided that the carrier is rotated by means of a rotary drive, in order thereby to achieve an improvement in the singling effect.
