Definitions

  • This invention relates to a rotary cutter, such as is used to cut compressed tobacco leaf processed into strips (known as cheese) to produce cut rag (cut filler).
  • Blocks or bales of material are commonly thinly cut by a rotary cutter.
  • a rotary cutter In the case of tobacco cheese, a baled compressed cut tobacco leaves, the product of such cutting is cut rag, which, after further processing steps, is transported to a cigarette maker to be formed into a wrapped tobacco rod.
  • the conventional rotary cutter 10 shown schematically in Figure 1 consists of a cylindrical drum 12 rotatable about its principal axis, on the circumference of which are mounted a plurality of knives 14, usually eight, equidistant from one another (in Fig. 1 only two knives are shown).
  • the knives are generally rectangular with a sharp blade 16 along one long edge.
  • the knives are mounted in flats on the circumferential surface of the drum so that the blades lie proud of the surface and extend generally parallel to the principal axis of the drum.
  • the blades are held in place on the drum by blade grippers 22. These are arcuate strips removably anchored to the circumferential surface of the dam adjacent the edge of the knife opposite the blade, extending over the upper surface of the knife and bearing on that surface adjacent the blade.
  • a removable cavity bar 18 is mounted below the level of the circumferential surface of the drum.
  • the cavity bar also extends generally parallel to the principal axis of the drum and defines a curved recess 20 in the drum surface.
  • processed tobacco leaves 24 are introduced into the space between upper 26 and lower 28 belts or chains.
  • the leaves are compressed by the belts or chains to form a coherent bale, the cheese 30.
  • the cheese 30 passes between the upper 32 and lower 34 bars of the mouthpiece.
  • the gap between the bars which can be adjusted, determines the thickness of the cheese.
  • the drum is rotated so that the blade impinges on the upper surface of the cheese 30, which is constantly advanced toward the drum by the upper 26 and lower 28 continuous belts or chains, to cut the slice. As the blade impinges on the cheese, it breaks a slice away from the front face of the cheese.
  • the slice impinges on the curved surface of the recess 20 defined by the cavity bar 18, and is opened into strands of cut filler 36 which fall away from the drum.
  • a grindstone (not shown) is disposed adjacent the circumferential surface of the drum to sharpen the blade, and a mechanism (not shown) is provided inside the drum adjacent each knife mounting flat to move the knife forward on the leaf to keep the leading edge 38 of the knife blade in the same position even though it is ground down by the grindstone.
  • the thickness of the slice, and thus the cut width of the rag is determined by the speed with which the cheese is advanced toward the drum (typically around 60mm/s), the angular speed of the drum (typically 500 rpm), and the number of blades on the drum. The first two may be adjusted to alter the cut width of the rag.
  • the knives which are typically 1mm thick, usually have straight blades, which cut a single slice off the cheese.
  • the strand length of the cut rag is determined by the size of the cut leaf making up the cheese.
  • the knives may have generally transverse cutting edges along the blade, to determine maximum strand length.
  • Such a knife known as a controlled strand length knife, is disclosed in WO85/04616.
  • the transverse cutting edge is preferably at least as deep as the cut width of the rag, so that the strands are completely cut.
  • These knives are thicker than conventional knives, typically 3mm thick.
  • a controlled strand length knife does not mean that all the strands in the cut tobacco are of the same length. They may be shorter than the length to which the controlled strand knife cuts, because the piece of tobacco leaf which is cut is narrower than the cutting length of the controlled strand length knife. They may be longer, because the pieces of tobacco leaf may be folded when they are cut. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of the strands will be of length to which the knife cuts, and the average strand length will be determined by that length.
  • the strand lengths to which the knife cuts is designated herein as the cut strand length.
  • drums will accommodate blades of only one thickness. Thus, if it is necessary to change from a conventional knife to a controlled strand length knife, the drum must also be changed, resulting in considerable down time while the change is made and the cutting geometry reset. Further, with conventional and controlled strand length knives, only one cut width can be provided at one time. Thus, if a blend of cut widths is required, more than one cutter is needed.
  • DE-A-27 19 088 discloses a tobacco blend comprising different kinds of tobacco, each of which is separately manufactured to a form and/or size appropriate to that tobacco. The tobaccos are then blended to give the final blend.
  • US-A-4 962 773 discloses cut tobacco filler having a cut width and a strand length within a specified range, which may be blended with expanded tobacco.
  • the invention provides a means by which these limitations are overcome.
  • a rotary cutter for cutting a material comprising:
  • the knives may be conventional knives, controlled strand length knives or some of each.
  • Shims may be provided between the drum or the gripper if present or both, and those knives which are thinner than the thickest knife on the drum or a gripper of appropriate size and shape for each thickness of blade may be provided. It is envisaged that in the case in which all the knives are conventional, with straight blades, shims will be provided between the knives and the drum.
  • the complete cutter be balanced. This can be readily achieved by ensuring that blades mounted diametrically opposite each other are identical. Alternatively, the shims, if used, can be weighted to ensure that the cutter is balanced.
  • leading edges of the blades are all at the same radial distance from the axis of rotation of the drum, to enable a conventional grindstone to sharpen them.
  • Conventional knife advance mechanisms may be employed to move the knives forward as they are ground.
  • grippers are mounted on the circumferential surface of the drum, each gripper being associated with the position of a respective knife, which in use bear on the knives to hold them on the circumferential surface of the drum, and at least one shim is provided for insertion between one or more of the knives and the circumferential surface of the drum or the respective gripper.

  • One or more of the knives mounted on the drum 60 of the rotary cutter 50 may be a controlled strand length knife, for example of the type shown in Figure 4.
  • the controlled strand length knife 80 of Figure 4 is overall of greater thickness than a standard cutter knife.
  • Flat depressions 82 extend across one face of the knife from the blade 84 to the opposite edge. The portions of the knife 80 forming these depressions is typically of standard knife thickness.
  • the depressions are in the underside 84 of the knife 80, when it is mounted on the drum, which provides the leading edge 86 of the blade 88.

  • At each end of the knife 80 are regions 92 without depressions, for ease of mounting of the knife on the drum.
  • the angle of the blade 88 is constant across the thickness of the knife, the leading edge of the blade on the thicker end regions 92 and the ridges 90 extends beyond that on the depressions 82. Since the knife 80 is usually longer (400mm) than the cheese is wide, the thicker end regions 92 do not normally cut the cheese. The ridges 90 impinges first upon the cheese, breaking it vertically, followed by the cutting edge on the depressions 82, which cut a slice from it.
  • the overall thickness of the controlled strand length knife 80 is normally chosen so that the depth of the vertical breaks in the cheese made by the ridges 90 is at least as great as the cut width, determined by blade spacing, drum angular speed and cheese advance speed.
  • the vertical breaks made by the ridges 90 determine the maximum strand length of the cut rag. This is equal to the spacing S between the ridge peaks.

  • the weight of tobacco cut to a particular width will be in the same proportion to the total weight cut as the proportion of the cut width to the length of cheese cut during a complete rotation of the drum. (If there is more than one pair of knives cutting to a particular width, the proportion of that width produced will be accordingly greater).
  • shims or different grippers should be employed to take account of the different thickness of knife used in the drum. If knives of different thickness are employed to vary cut width, rather than only to control maximum strand length, it is desirable that the shims be between the drum and the knife, so that the position of the leading edge of adjacent knives is different from knife to knife.
  • a differently shaped cavity bar is employed with each different thickness of knife; the cavity bar is changed when the knife is changed for one of different thickness.
