  • Feed system for tobacco blending/bulking bins
    Patent number: 4619576
    Abstract: A feed system for feeding light-weight materials, such as tobacco, into large blending and/or bulking bins. The present invention resides primarily in a novel, light-weight feed system comprising a trolley and a shuttle conveyor adapted to reciprocatingly feed rapidly in either a longitudinal or lateral direction with a minimum amount of inertia during acceleration and deacceleration. A feed conveyor deposits said material onto the shuttle conveyor, said feed conveyor comprising drive elements adapted to synchronize movement of the feed conveyor with movement of the shuttle conveyor. The shuttle conveyor, at least in the X direction, is unencumbered mechanically by the feed conveyor.

  • Humidity responsive control for dryers
    Patent number: 4221058
    Abstract: An improved control system, especially for dryers, adapted to sample dryer air, in a sample taking circuit, determine the moisture content of said air, and control the flow of make-up air to the dryer and exhaust air from the dryer in response to said moisture content. Means are provided for reducing the temperature of the dryer air in the sample taking circuit to one that can be handled by a signal producing means responsive to sample air moisture content. The flow of dryer air through said circuit is maintained by an aspirator and compressor combination, the compressor being adapted to provide purge air to the circuit before and/or after periods of sample taking.
