Vorrichtung zur Erzielung einer möglichst gleichmäßigen Schneidleistung für bzw. an Tabakschneidemaschinen

摘要

The cut output of a tobacco cutting machine is regulated by measuring the density of the tobacco flowing in the feed channel adjacent the cutting knives. The measurements are taken either directly in the feed channel or proximately upstream thereof, and applied to a control system to regulate the tobacco input to the machine. Apparatus for effecting the density measurement may include radiation absorption measuring instruments.
