METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MAINTAINING THE EQUIVALENT STRUCTURE AND DENSITY OF A CURRENT OF TRANSPORTED, LOSS OF MATERIAL, ESPECIALLY ORGANIC PLANT MATERIAL AND, IN PARTICULAR, TOBACCO MATERIAL

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device for obtaining the continuity of the uniformity of the structure and density of a stream of transported loose material, particularly organic plant material, and particularly tobacco material. According to the inventive method, a previously loosened material is compacted during transportation between conveyors, then, the compacted material is comminuted to a form suitable for further processing, and at least one intermediate element, preferably a bracket (5, 6), and thereby also the stream of the compacted material, is vibrated directly before the comminution process. A device according to the invention comprises at least one intermediate vibrating element, preferably this being at least one bracket (5, 6), located transversely to the direction of motion of the material.
