Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing filter plugs from filter rods with a predetermined Filterstabkar and a method for producing filter cigarettes, double-length tobacco sticks are cut into tobacco sticks simple length between the tobacco sticks single length filter plug double length are introduced, the double-length filter plug with the tobacco sticks simple length by wrapping by means of a tipping paper leaflets are connected to filter cigarettes double the length of use.
  • the invention relates to a filter attachment machine with a filter feed.
  • a filter tipping machine Under a filter tipping machine is a device for the production of filter cigarettes with means for receiving tobacco rods of double length, with means for cutting these double-length tobacco sticks in tobacco sticks of simple length, with means for introducing double length filter stoppers between the tobacco rods of simple length, comprising means for connecting the double length filter stoppers to the single length tobacco stems by wrapping with a tipping paper sheet severed by means of a cutter from a tipping paper strip supplied with means for effecting a severing cut through the tobacco double-length filter plug, so that filter cigarettes normal use length arise.
  • a single-lane filter tufting machine a sequence of tobacco rod filter plug tobacco rod groups arranged transversely axially behind one another and transported is fed to a padding device as a single-web material flow.
  • filter rods of multiple use length are removed from a filter magazine on a filter attachment machine and subsequently cut into filter plugs of double use length. Subsequently, the cut filter plugs are arranged in a series of successively transversely spaced filter plugs which are fed to the longitudinally axially spaced tobacco rod pairs.
  • the device described for the production of cigarette filters can also be used as a filter feed to a filter attachment machine. Further, two filter manufacturing apparatuses may be combined to obtain a construction for producing double filter pieces.
  • US Pat. No. 3,253,491 discloses a cutting device for filter mouthpieces, are cut with the filter rods of multiple lengths in filter plug simple use length.
  • the filter rods are conveyed along a rotating conveyor along axial axial rotating cutting blades over and cut by them.
  • the conveyor is composed of a plurality of discs of different or the same predetermined width, which are arranged coaxially spaced from each other, so that there are gaps between the discs, in which engage the rotating cutting blades.
  • Filter plugs of various predeterminable lengths are produced by using different disc arrangements and, at different times, different arrangements of cutting blades.
  • the total width of the arrangement is adapted to the length of the filter rods to be cut.
  • a method for producing filter plug of filter rods with a predetermined filter rod length 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the filter rods are cut from displaceable in the longitudinal axial direction of the filter rods arranged cutting devices.
  • the cutting devices are arranged offset on a cutting drum in the longitudinal direction of the filter rods to be cut.

  • the filter plugs are arranged in the conveying direction transversely axially behind one another, preferably in a row.
  • the double-length filter plugs are then inserted between longitudinally spaced tobacco rod pairs, which are subsequently provided on the filter tipping machine with a tipping paper and wrapped.
  • the filter plugs are staggered by means of at least one staggering drum and / or pushed by means of at least one cutting drum.
  • the staggering drum is exchanged during a change in the length of the filter plug, so that after a change in the number of filter stoppers to be produced from a filter rod, the filter stoppers are staggered in a different way to form a series of filter stoppers disposed transversely one behind the other.
