A tobacco shredding machine receives tobacco to be comminuted at such a rate that the weight of quantities delivered during successive identical unit periods of time is always the same. This enables the shredding machine to turn out shredded tobacco at a constant rate. The feeding unit which supplies tobacco to the shredding machine employs a weighing device which can weigh batches of tobacco or embodies a belt conveyor, a metering device which can operate intermittently or continuously and delivers tobacco to the weighing device, and a transporting device which transports tobacco from the weighing device to the shredding machine. |
