Abstract

A hopper (10) for tobacco includes a delivery roller (12) made up of four roller sections (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d). Operation of each section is controlled by a respective photo sensitive cell (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d) which sends a signal causing the respective roller section to cease rotating in response to sensing a build up of tobacco on the carded drum (18) below the delivery roller in the hopper exit.
