This invention provides a device and method for separating tobacco scraps and recovering tobacco shreds in the cigarette manufacturing process. The tobacco scraps are fed into a primary vibrating screen via an
elevator. "Hard, piercing" scraps are captured by an orthogonal curved screen plate and cylindrical screening holes with alternating
dot matrix, separating
tobacco dust and scraps with a
diameter less than d1. The remaining material is fed into a secondary vibrating screen, where curved guide strips, a size-controlled screen plate, screening holes, separation holes, and a separation surface control the separation of hard scraps with a length greater than d2 and poor
plasticity. Flexible tobacco shreds pass sequentially through the screening holes, separation holes, and separation surface, and are finally fed into a tobacco collection box. This invention provides high loosening force, screening efficiency, and low
breakage rate for tobacco scraps, and accurately separates scraps from tobacco scraps, improving the
recovery rate and quality of tobacco shreds.
