Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the production of filter cigarettes, tobacco rods of double length are cut into tobacco sticks of simple length and between each a filter plug of double length is introduced (see, eg EP-A-0 895 724 ).
  • a filter attachment machine for a cigarette manufacturing machine and a method for manufacturing cigarettes wherein double-length tobacco rods are fed and cut in one lane to a cutter. After spreading double-length filter rods are inserted between the longitudinally spaced tobacco rods.
  • the formed cigarette filter cigarette groups are fed alternately two superimposed coating apparatus, provided with tipping paper, rolled and merged into a single row series of cigarette filter cigarette groups and then cut.
  • the object of the present invention is to increase the production speed and the productivity of a, in particular double-lane, filter attachment machine, wherein the shifting operations of smoking articles or smoking article components during the production process should be kept as low as possible.
  • This object is achieved in a method for the production of filter cigarettes, in which tobacco sticks double length are cut into tobacco sticks of simple length and between each a filter plug double length is introduced, characterized in that subsequently formed two separate part streams with tobacco rod filter plug tobacco rod groups be promoted and side by side, that at each partial flow, the double-length filter plug with the two tobacco sticks simple length by wrapping by means of a tipping paper leaflet are connected and that arise at each partial flow through a subsequent separation section through the double-length filter plug cigarettes simple use length.
  • the invention is based on the idea that double-length tobacco sticks are fed and cut in one lane to a cutting device on a filter attachment machine, and after a longitudinal axial spread of the tobacco sticks, double-length filter rods are inserted between the spaced-apart tobacco sticks. Thereafter, the cigarette-filter-cigarette groups are shifted longitudinally such that each second group of the single-row sequence is assigned to a partial flow. By longitudinal-axial displacement of the groups, two non-meshing parallel sequences of groups are formed. The groups or smoking article groups of the two partial streams are then each one Padding supplied, so that the groups are provided with a tipping paper and be rolled over by the tipping paper. After connecting the smoking article groups of each sub-stream with the tipping paper, the double-length filter cigarettes are cut in the middle of the double-length filter plugs so that cigarettes of simple use length are produced.
  • the longitudinal axial displacement doubles the pitch between the smoking article groups of each sub-stream. This allows a secure attachment of a tipping paper to the cigarette filter-cigarette groups formed. There are used with reduced pitch spacing conveyor drums on a filter attachment machine, so that the overall productivity of the machine is increased. By doubling the pitch in the area of connecting the smoking article groups, the processing speed of filter cigarettes on the filter tipping machine is doubled, since two lane i. parallel to each other, the individual process steps are executed. Therefore, the method according to the invention enables a small-sized four-web filter attachment machine which has a low process risk and at the same time a high production output. The formation of the two partial flows only after inserting the filter leads in particular to a small conversion effort in a format change, as long as the cigarette length remains constant.
  • the partial flows are formed by longitudinal axial displacement of tobacco rod filter plug tobacco rod groups.
  • the method in an advantageous embodiment of the method is provided that from the cigarettes simple use length of the two Partial flows two streams of material with cigarettes simple use length are formed.
  • the formation of the two streams of material is produced by a second longitudinal axial displacement process, wherein in each case only one cigarette of a cigarette pair is displaced in each case.
  • a total of two single-row material flows are formed with each cigarette simple useful length, which have half the transverse axial distance of the groups or articles of the previous partial streams. Due to the two longitudinal axial sliding operations according to the invention of the smoking articles on the conveyor members, a small overall length of a filter attachment machine is made possible.
  • the two streams of material are formed by longitudinal axial displacement of the inner or adjacent cigarettes simple use length of the two material streams.
  • the articles of the partial streams or material streams are conveyed at a constant pitch.
  • Divisional distance is understood to be the transverse axial distance of an article group to the leading or lagging article group.
  • the filter plug of a partial flow with at least the longitudinal axial distance of a double-length tobacco rod are spaced to the filter plug of the other partial flow.
  • the tobacco rod filter plug tobacco rod groups of the two sub-streams are arranged alternately on the conveying members, so that each recording the Promotional bodies receives only one article group.
  • the material streams are combined to form a common stream.
  • a drum assembly of a double-lane Filteransetzmaschine is shown in front view schematically.
  • the corresponding method sequence is shown schematically in FIG. 2 shown.
  • tobacco rods 10 of double use length are fed to a filter attachment machine by a cigarette rod machine (not shown here).
  • the cigarette rod machine can work in both single-stranded and double-stranded processes.
  • the single-row tobacco rods 10 are transferred from a transfer drum 11 to a conveyor drum 12.
  • the tobacco sticks 10 are arranged transaxially one behind the other in a row in the conveying direction (FIG. 2).
  • the transverse axial distance of the tobacco rods 10 arranged one behind the other is reduced, so that when transferring from the conveyor drum 12 to a cutting drum 13, the transverse axial spacing between the tobacco rods 10 arranged one behind the other is reduced to twice the useful length.
  • all subsequent conveyor drums for the tobacco sticks have a reduced transverse axial distance, i. Pitch, between the receiving wells or grooves compared to the transfer drum 11 on.
  • the tobacco sticks 10 are cut centrally on the cutting drum 13 by means of a cutting blade 14 and then transferred to a spreading drum 15.
  • the cut tobacco sticks 40 of simple length are pulled longitudinally axially apart and are thus spaced.
  • the tobacco sticks 40 of simple length are transferred from the spreading drum 15 to a conveying drum 16 and subsequently to a recording set drum 24.
  • a filter feed device 21 is provided on the filter attachment machine, so that the filter plugs 25 are inserted between the longitudinally axially spaced tobacco rods 40 by means of an insertion drum 35 for filter plugs 25 (FIG.
  • EP-A-1 374 706 a device for filter feed to a filter attachment of two mutually offset filter magazines described.
  • each second article of the successively arranged article groups is in each case a partial flow T1, T2 supplied or allocated.
  • the two partial flows T1, T2 arise from the one-row, cross-axially successively arranged tobacco rod filter plug tobacco rod groups by alternating longitudinal axial displacement of the corresponding groups.
  • the sliding drum 17 and all other conveying members are approximately twice as wide as the conveyor drums for the single-lane output current from the transfer drum 11 to the assembly drum 16.
  • the two separate partial streams T1, T2 are transferred to a conveyor drum 18, wherein on this conveyor drum 18, the articles of the two partial streams are transported in parallel and side by side.
  • the Queraxialen distances between the articles of each partial stream T1, T2 are twice as large as the distances of the assembled article groups on the compilation drum 16. Due to the longitudinal axial spread of the articles on the sliding drum 17 is a sufficient transverse axial distance between the articles each Partial flow T1, T2 created so that in a subsequent process step covering paper leaflets are securely attached to the individual tobacco rod filter plug tobacco rod groups without a tipping paper leaflet touches a following article group of the respective partial flow T1, T2.
  • the articles of the two partial streams T1, T2 are arranged alternately in the receiving troughs or grooves of the conveyor drum 18. From the conveyor drum 18, the articles of the two partial streams T1, T2 are transferred to a conveyor drum 19, so that two coating apparatuses 50, of which only one is shown, padding paper leaflets 55 are attached to the articles of the two partial streams T1, T2. Alternatively, it is possible to use a coating apparatus with two paper runs, which extends over both partial flows T1, T2.
  • the articles of the partial flow T1 and the partial flow T2 are wrapped by the attached tipping paper leaflet 55.
  • a rolling device 34 is provided on the conveyor drum 20.
  • the wrapped article groups of the two partial streams T1, T2 are conveyed from the conveyor drum 20 via a further conveyor drum 26 to a cutting drum 27, to which a cutting device for the filter plug of both partial streams T1, T2 is arranged.
  • a cutting blade 28 is shown for a partial flow.
  • the wrapped smoking article components are severed safely over a longer period of time, since the wear or the wear on the cutting blades (reference numeral 28) is reduced or halved by the provision of a second cutting device in contrast to a cutting device for all smoking article groups.
  • the cut filter cigarettes are spread on a conveyor drum 29, so that two parallel rows of filter cigarettes simple use length arise.
  • the inner filter cigarettes each sub-stream T1, T2 are each displaced longitudinally outwards, so that two streams of material arise.
  • the articles or filter cigarettes of each material flow of each row have the same pitch as the tobacco rods 10 on the conveyor drum 12 due to the longitudinal axial displacement.
  • the double-row filter cigarettes are delivered to the filter cigarettes via a conveyor drum 30, not shown here.
  • the double-row filter cigarettes are assembled at a turning device 33 to a series of successively arranged filter cigarettes simple use length.
