Am Ende des Herstellungsprozesses bestehen die Artikelgruppen aus ungeschnittenen Doppelzigaretten mit außen liegenden Filtern.Filter plug simple length, turned by means of a turning device. At the end of the manufacturing process, the product groups consist of uncut double cigarettes with external filters.
Zur Weiterverarbeitung werden die innen liegenden Filter 61 geschnitten, so dass die Doppelzigaretten zu einem Massenstrom gefördert und in einem Zwischenspeicher gelagert werden. Erst bei der Übergabe an eine Packmaschine (Bezugszeichen VP) werden die doppeltlangen Zigaretten mittig geschnitten, so dass Einzelzigaretten entstehen. Bezu szeichenlisteFor further processing, the internal filters 61 are cut, so that the double cigarettes are conveyed to a mass flow and stored in a temporary storage. Only when handed over to a packing machine (reference VP), the double-length cigarettes are cut centrally, so that individual cigarettes arise. Suffix list
