Apparatus for pressing tobacco, ribs or the like

摘要

The device (10) is designed as a frame (11) with a base (12) and two laterally positioned vertical elements (13, 14). An inner vertical element (15) carrying an upper squeezing element (19) can be moved along a rail (17) joined to one of the lateral parts (13) in order to adjust the space (27) formed between the element (19) and a lower squeezing element (20) joined with one of its outer ends to the opposite lateral frame part (14). Each of the moving belts serving as squeezing elements (19, 20) is driven by its one drive unit (25, 26).
