See full text

A cutting apparatus for cutting tobacco leaves into small pieces. The cutting apparatus has a feed belt conveyor including a plurality of parallel narrow endless belts. At the tail section of the feed belt conveyor is provided a pulley on which a plurality of lower rotary cutting blades are coaxially mounted. The diameter of the blades is larger than that of the pulley and each lower cutting blade projects from between adjacent narrow endless belts. There are further provided a plurality of upper rotary cutting blades above the lower rotary cutting blades and each upper rotary cutting blade overlaps each corresponding lower rotary cutting blade. The endless belts are led to proceed from the pulley but not to proceed beyond the outfeeding edges of the lower rotary cutting blades and then return to the head section after they pass the overlap section.
