Abstract: Many types of processors of particulate materials operate more efficiently when they receive the particulate material in a steady stream. Most feeders tend to discharge in pulses. A hopper is interposed between the feeder and the processor. Surges in the feed rate are accumulated in the hopper, and lapses in the feed rate are compensated by the propensity of the hopper to discharge at a constant rate. Initiation of hopper flow is accomplished by use of a trap door. Mismatch between average feeder output rate and hopper discharge rate is corrected by use of an adaptive hopper having an outlet the size of which is slowly altered to maintain a constant amount of material in the hopper. A bypass hopper is used to control extremely variable input flow rates.

Abstract: A linear variable capacity reservoir, particularly for rod-like articles of the tobacco industry, includes a boundary device (18;76) movable between an entrance (22;78) at one end and an exit (48;81) at the other end to vary the capacity of a main reservoir storage area (24;66). The boundary device (18;76) carries an end pulley (30;90) for a variable length extendible conveyor (32;88) which conveys a stream of articles from the main storage area to the exit. In another version the reservoir includes a movable end wall (216) movable towards and away from a stationary end wall (217) to vary the capacity of the reservoir storage area (220), and a variable length conveyor (218) extendible into the storage area from the stationary wall. When the storage area is empty a direct vertical path (212) for articles exists between the stationary and movable end walls. The extendible conveyors (32;88;218) are supportable by spaced retractable horizontal rollers (46) carried by vertical spindles (48).

Abstract: For supplying tobacco from a redryer to a packer, the invention provides apparatus comprising four consecutive conveyors, the first conveyor operating continuously in one direction to feed tobacco from the redryer to the second conveyor, the second conveyor being reversible to act selectively as a holding conveyor and a supply tobacco to the third conveyor, the third conveyor being a weighing conveyor operated at a slower speed to weight and at a faster speed to deliver the weight quantities onto the fourth conveyor which carries the successive weighed quantities of tobacco to the packer. The conveyors are so controlled that the weighed quantities, when on the fourth conveyor, are spaced apart by intervals and the packer is operated through a packing cycle during each such interval.
