Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating packaging machines, especially for the manufacture of cigarette packs, with at least one folding unit, for example Folding turret, a storage for packaging goods, for example Cigarette magazine, with conveyors for the packaging goods, for example pocket chain for cigarette groups, funding bodies for packaging material, for example cutting units, and with funding bodies for fully or partially completed Packs, for example conveyors.
  • the invention further relates to a packaging machine, especially for manufacturing of cigarette packs.
  • Packaging machines for the manufacture of cigarette packs for example of the soft cup type, have a complex structure. This means business interruptions, for example due to termination one working shift due to format change of the packs or problematic because of a change of the (cigarette) brand. The reason for this is that there is always a large amount of packaging goods (cigarettes) and packaging material within the packaging machine.
  • the invention is based on the object of proposing measures, the operation of packaging machines in the event of business interruption facilitate.
  • the method according to the invention is used to achieve this object characterized in that to empty the packaging machine the units and organs involved with regard to Work processes are coordinated, such that when Initiate the operating status of the packaging machine emptying with preferably reduced working speed or Bar count a last unit of the package contents, in particular a cigarette group, is identified and according to the Passing through the packaging machine the units involved and organs are controlled so that each aggregate or organ shutdown according to packaging progress after the last unit of the package, if necessary with blanks, the relevant aggregate or organ happened.
  • the packaging machine is accordingly set up to that in the event of a business interruption from the aforementioned
  • the operation of the packaging machine continued is until a "last" packaging unit all units and Organs, i.e. the entire packaging process.
  • a "last" packaging unit all units and Organs, i.e. the entire packaging process.
  • the aggregates involved and Organs stopped or stopped with regard to their function, if the package contains the relevant aggregate or organ happened.
  • the content namely a cigarette group, formed in the area of a magazine by pushing the cigarette group out of the cigarette magazine.
