Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for forming at least one tobacco rod, in which tobacco fibers are fed in a broad shower at least one air-permeable strand conveyor and are held on this conveyor by means of suction, further dust contained in this air sucked by the strand conveyor largely completely from the air and this separated dust is partially added back to the tobacco rod.
  • the invention further relates to an apparatus for forming at least one tobacco rod having a distributor device for forming a broad shower of tobacco fibers, at least one air-permeable endlessly circulating strand conveyor for conveying the at least one tobacco rod formed from the shower, feeding means for feeding the shower to the at least one strand conveyor a first vacuum chamber for applying a negative pressure to a first portion of the side facing away from the tobacco strand of the at least one strand conveyor, first suction means for sucking through the at least one strand conveyor in the first negative pressure chamber passing air, a separating device for separating the dust contained in this extracted air and transport means with at least one discharge opening for transporting the separated dust to the at least one strand conveyor.
  • tobacco processing machines are machines for the production of cigarettes to understand, but also machines for the production of tobacco cartridges, cigarillos or cigars, as far as they use the said process of strand formation.
  • tobacco is removed by a distribution device from a stock and spread to a shower of largely isolated tobacco fibers.
  • This tobacco shower is usually accelerated and deflected by transport air and finally piled up on or under a revolving air-permeable strand conveyor to an endless tobacco rod.
  • This strand is held on the strand conveyor by negative pressure, which is applied by means of a first vacuum chamber to the strand side facing away from the strand conveyor.
  • the passing through the tobacco rod and the strand conveyor air is sucked by suction from the first vacuum chamber.
  • the tobacco is supplied with an excess, which is later trimmed by a leveler.
  • a corresponding distributor device is z. B. in DE 39 19 720 A1 of the applicant described.
  • the extracted in the relevant machines from the first vacuum chamber air is heavily contaminated with dust.
  • the said dust consists of fine dust, which adheres to the tobacco fibers and is removed during processing in the distribution device of these, from foreign components such.
  • EP 0 738 477 A1 discloses a method and a device in which the entire dust is separated from the exhaust air of a cigarette rod machine and divided into a coarse and a fine fraction by means of an elaborate separating filter, the coarse fraction being returned to the working process while the fine fraction is fed to a central dedusting.
  • the task is to develop another method in which the coarse dust particles are added to the tobacco rod and at the same time there is no risk of accumulation of fine dust.
  • the object is to develop a device which enables the implementation of this method.

  • the screening effect can be exploited particularly advantageously if the addition of the dust takes place over a width which is smaller than the width of the tobacco smoke, wherein the air passing through the strand conveyor in the region of the dust addition is sucked off separately together with the fine dust contained in it and a central dedusting system is supplied.
  • the width of the tobacco shower is to be understood to mean its extent in the conveying direction of the strand conveyor.
  • the dust is added to the strand conveyor before the supply of the tobacco smoke or the tobacco shower directly before its application to the strand conveyor, it is advantageous to give the dust a component of movement in the conveying direction of the strand conveyor.
  • a particularly reliable function of the method is achieved in that the amount of separately extracted air is controlled.
  • the control is preferably carried out by a control loop, which advantageously ensures that the negative pressure along the strand conveyor runs steadily.

  • the device runs particularly securely when the delivery opening of the transport means arranged in the immediate vicinity of the strand conveyor is aligned with a component in the conveying direction of the at least one strand conveyor.
  • pressure sensors are located in the second vacuum chamber and / or in the first vacuum chamber.
  • actuating means are preferably provided for the control of the amount of air extracted by the second suction means.
  • a control unit for controlling this amount of air is preferably provided.
  • the device shown in Figure 1 consists of a distribution device 1, which are arranged downstream of feeding 2 for guiding a tobacco showers 3.
  • a distribution device is z. B. described in DE 39 19 720 A1 of the applicant and component z.
  • PROTOS 2 As the marketed by the Applicant cigarette production machine PROTOS 2.
  • separating means 4 for dividing the tobacco show 3 in two part showers 5, 6 are arranged.
