The moisture content the shreds is raised between 12 13.5% for admission cigarette maker, such well above optimum value further processing order increase filling power shreds. thereupon dried reduce their prior conversion filler rod. Two more different types can be mixed maker. rate at which discharges stream kept constant monitoring density successive regulating speed delivered station dependency on mass respective bales.
