Filterstopfen verschiedener vorgebbarer Längen werden hergestellt, indem zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten unterschiedliche Scheibenanordnungen und dazu passend unterschiedliche Anordnungen von Schneidmessern verwendet werden. Dazu wird die Gesamtbreite der Anordnung der Länge der zu schneidenden Filterstäbe angepasst.Filter plugs of various predeterminable lengths are produced by using different disc arrangements and, at different times, different arrangements of cutting blades. For this purpose, the total width of the arrangement is adapted to the length of the filter rods to be cut.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die Herstellung von Filterstopfen, z. B. an einer Filteransetzmaschine, zu vereinfachen, wobei der bauliche Aufwand bei einem Wechsel der Filterstopfenlänge möglichst gering gehalten werden soll. Darüber hinaus ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die Umrüstzeiten an einer Filteransetzmaschine bei einem Formatwechsel bzw. Markenwechsel zu vereinfachen. Eine weitere Aufgabe besteht darin, eine Filteransetzmaschine zu verbessern.Based on this prior art, it is an object of the present invention, the production of filter plug, z.

Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to simplify the changeover times on a filter attachment machine in a format change or brand change. Another object is to improve a filter attachment machine.
Als Lösung der Aufgabe wird ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Filterstopfen aus Filterstäben mit einer vorbestimmten Filterstablänge angegeben, wobei die Filterstäbe aus einem Magazin entnommen werden, die Filterstäbe jeweils in n-fache Filterstopfen für eine vorbestimmte Filterstopfenlänge mittels (n-1)-facher Schneideinrichtungen oder jeweils in k-fache Filterstopfen für eine zweite vorbestimmte Filterstopfenlänge mittels (k-1)-facher Schneideinrichtung geschnitten werden, bei einem Wechsel der zu schneidenden Filterstopfen von einer vorbestimmten Filterstopfenlänge zu einer anderen vorbestimmten Filterstopfenlänge die Anzahl der Schneideinrichtungen erhöht oder erniedrigt wird, wobei die Filterstablänge der zu verarbeitenden Filterstäbe beim Wechsel konstant bleibt.As a solution to the problem, a method for producing filter plug of filter rods with a predetermined filter rod length is given, wherein the filter rods are removed from a magazine, the filter rods each in n-times filter plug for a predetermined filter plug length by means (n-1) -fold cutting devices or are cut into k-fold filter plugs for a second predetermined filter plug length by means of (k-1) -fold cutting device, when changing the filter plug to be cut from a predetermined filter plug length to another predetermined filter plug length, the number of cutting devices is increased or decreased, the Filter rod length of the filter rods to be processed remains constant when changing.
Die Erfindung beruht auf dem Gedanken, dass aus Filterstäben mit einer vorbestimmten Gesamtfilterstablänge mindestens zwei unterschiedliche Filterstopfen als Zigarettenfilter mit entsprechenden unterschiedlichen Filterstopfenlängen hergestellt werden, so dass aus einem Filterstab mindestens zwei verschiedene Zigarettenfilterformate bzw. Zigarettenformate hergestellt werden können. Insbesondere ist die Filterstablänge als kleinstes, gemeinsames Vielfaches der herzustellenden Filterlängen gewählt. Beispielsweise können bei einer Gesamtfilterstablänge von 120 mm 4 doppelt lange Filterstopfen mit einer Länge von jeweils 30 mm oder 6 doppelt lange Filterstopfen mit einer Länge von jeweils 20 mm hergestellt werden. Entsprechend der herzustellenden Anzahl an Filterstopfen und -längen aus einem Filterstab wird die Anzahl der Schneideinrichtungen bzw. Schneidmesser geändert und angepasst. Bei einem Wechsel der herzustellenden Filterstopfen werden erfindungsgemäß die Umbaumaßnahmen an einer Filteransetzmaschine reduziert, da bei gleicher und konstanter Filterstablänge der zu verarbeitenden Filterstäbe unterschiedlich lange Zigarettenfilter produziert werden. Beispielsweise entfällt hierdurch ein vollständiger Austausch der Filterstäbe im Filterstabmagazin einer Filteransetzmaschine.The invention is based on the idea that at least two different filter plugs are produced from filter rods having a predetermined total filter rod length as cigarette filters with corresponding different filter plug lengths, so that at least two different cigarette filter formats or cigarette formats can be produced from a filter rod. In particular, the filter rod length is selected as the smallest, common multiple of the filter lengths to be produced. For example, you can For a total filter rod length of 120 mm, 4 double-length filter plugs each 30 mm in length or 6 double-length filter plugs each 20 mm in length are produced. According to the number of filter plugs and lengths to be produced from a filter rod, the number of cutting devices or cutting blades is changed and adjusted. When changing the filter plug to be produced, the conversion measures are reduced according to the invention to a Filteransetzmaschine, since the same and constant filter rod length of the filter rods to be processed different lengths cigarette filters are produced. For example, this eliminates a complete replacement of the filter rods in the filter rod magazine a Filteransetzmaschine.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Filterstäbe von in längsaxialer Richtung der Filterstäbe versetzbar angeordneten Schneideinrichtungen geschnitten werden. Hierbei sind die Schneideinrichtungen an einer Schneidtrommel in Längsrichtung der zu schneidenden Filterstäbe versetzt angeordnet.According to one embodiment of the invention, it is advantageous if the filter rods are cut from displaceable in the longitudinal axial direction of the filter rods arranged cutting devices. Here, the cutting devices are arranged offset on a cutting drum in the longitudinal direction of the filter rods to be cut.

Bei einem Wechsel der herzustellenden Filterstopfen an der Fllterzuführeinrichtung 10 werden ein oder mehrere Schneidmesser 115 an der Entnahmetrommel 30 hinzugefügt oder entfernt, so dass kleinere Filterstopfen mit einer geringeren Filterstopfenlänge hergestellt werden bzw. beim Entfernen eines Schneidmessers 115 größere Filterstopfen entstehen. Bei einem Wechsel der Filterstopfenlänge wird auch die Anzahl der herzustellenden Filterstopfen aus einem Filterstab 100 erhöht oder erniedrigt. Darüber hinaus müssen bei einem Fllterstopfenwechsel die Positionen der Schneidmesser 115 an der Entnahmetrommel 30 ausgerichtet werden.When changing the filter plug to be produced on the
Um die Filterstopfen nach einem Wechsel der Filterstopfenlänge entsprechend zu staffeln, muss als weitere Maßnahme die Staffeltrommel 40 ausgetauscht werden. Alternativ kann die Filterzuführeinrichtung eine weitere Staffeltrommel aufweisen, so dass ein Austausch nicht erforderlich ist. Die verbleibenden Trommeln und/oder Aggregate sind nicht auszutauschen, da die Gesamtfilterstablänge konstant Ist.To stagger the filter plug according to a change of the filter plug length accordingly, the
