  • connection points between successive filter material strips also called “toows” and so-called “tow-twists” come into question as defects.
  • a common method for producing joints between filter material strips is the overlapping of the ends of the filter material strips and the welding by means of heat, in which the fibers, for. As acetate fibers, merge. The weld forms a hardening in the otherwise soft material flow.
  • Tow-Twists are locations of the filter material strip, where it is turned over its longitudinal axis by 180 °. Tow-twists can occur when removing the strip of filter material from the bale and represent a defect, since they have different properties after processing than the rest of the filter material. For example, when sprayed at the location of a tow twist, the filter material strip absorbs less plasticizer because of its reduced surface area.
  • a method and a device for producing filter rods for smokable articles are known, for example, from US Pat DE 32 24 009 A1 known.
  • the end of the expiring filter tow is connected to the beginning of a filter tow contained in a second bale.
  • the connection point is stored and recorded on a detector means in good time before the end of the filter screen contained in the first bale.
  • the outgoing end of the filter tow drawn off from the first bale lifts the connection point away from the detector means, which thereby generates a corresponding control signal.
  • the control signal is used to adjust the conveyer and treatment equipment passed by the filter tow to the passage of the thicker joint for reducing the machine speed and / or used to eject the filter rod containing the joint.
  • EP 1 754 418 A1 relates to a method and a device for supplying an additive to a filter material web, wherein a width measuring device is arranged immediately upstream of a device with spray nozzles. By means of the width measuring device, the width of the filter material is measured and regulated by a sliding cover plate, the amount of the applied additive.
  • EP 1 649 764 A1 relates to a filter manufacturing method and a corresponding device for applying plasticizer to filter material, wherein a measuring device is provided for generating a signal which is at least in the conveying direction of the Filter material represents spatially resolved concentration of the plasticizer in the filter material.
  • a measuring device is provided for generating a signal which is at least in the conveying direction of the Filter material represents spatially resolved concentration of the plasticizer in the filter material.

Upstream of a nozzle for applying triacetin and a pair of rollers of a stretching device, the density of the web strip is measured by means of transducers with light sources and photoelectric detectors, and then the amount of triacetin fed is controlled.
  • This object is achieved by a method for operating a filter-strand machine the tobacco-processing industry, wherein filter material in the form of a strip of filter material taken from a supply in the form of at least one bale, spread, stretched, promoted by an applicator and a format device of the filter rod machine is fed and from the filter material strip a filter strand is formed, which is further developed in that at least one sensor recognizes a defect after stretching the filter material strip and before the application device and generates at least one signal which serves to exclude at least the region of the filter strand having the defect from further processing.
  • the arrangement of the sensor for detecting defects after stretching and spreading of the filter material strip and before the applicator has the advantage that it is much more accurate than previously possible to detect the area of the filter strand or to identify those filter rods that are to be ejected, because the area or the filter rods contains or contain a defect.
  • the filter material strip has its greatest width after the spreading of the filter material strip. Defects are exposed on the spread filter material strip and are directly and immediately recognizable. Thus, a more direct and secure detection of a defect is possible as downstream after the passage of a format device to which a detection of defects under certain circumstances is only indirectly possible.
  • the position of the sensor after stretching has the further advantage that the not exactly calculable length changes by the stretching of the filter material strip and the transport of the filter material strip from the filter material strip supply to the filter strand manufacturing machine has already taken place. Downstream of the stretching device, the speed of the material flow is very accurately known and subject no more significant fluctuations. This makes it possible to limit the area of the filter material strip or the filter rods produced therefrom to about 5 to 6 filter rods, namely about two filter rods in front of the affected area, the affected filter rod and two to three filter rods after the affected area.
  • the defect is recognized as a waist of the strip of filter material caused by a joint in the strip of filter material at which the end of the strip of filter material of a first bale is connected to the beginning of the strip of filter material of a second bale or by a 180 ° turn of the strip of filter material about its longitudinal axis becomes (tow-twist).

  • the defect is detected in an advantageous embodiment by means of an acoustic signal, which arises when the defect is guided on a drum with a metallic surface along. Since the defect is thickened and conveyed past the drum at high speed, it strikes the metal drum as a bell is struck by a clapper.

Since the filter material strip has the greatest width after stretching and before the application device, the defect, in the form of a connection point or a tow twist, emerges openly and can be reliably detected by optical means in a transmitted light and / or incident light method. Transmitted light or incident light methods are also referred to as transmission or reflection methods.

  • the weld ruptures upon expansion and the strip of filter material disintegrates into a plurality of narrow fiber bundles, the fibers of which are each separated by a fragment of the original weld held together. Since the subsequent stretching along the width of the filter material strip has a different effect, resulting over the width of the filter material strip compact and spaced by wide gaps spliced fiber bundles. The resulting gaps lead to an increase in the transmitted light in the transmitted light method and a decrease in the reflection in incident light. Due to the different stretching the fragments of the weld in the conveying direction are arranged staggered by up to several centimeters. This too can be detected by optical means.

  • FIG. 7 schematically illustrated sensor assembly includes an acceleration sensor 90 having a guide surface 91 for the filter material strip 4 and a pivot arm 92 which is deflected under the force exerted by the filter material strip 4 force.
  • an acceleration sensor 90 having a guide surface 91 for the filter material strip 4 and a pivot arm 92 which is deflected under the force exerted by the filter material strip 4 force.
  • a joint 51 is conveyed past the acceleration sensor 90, due to its greater density, it exerts an increased force over the guide surface 91, so that the rotation arm 92 is deflected.
  • the acceleration occurring during the deflection is measured by the acceleration sensor 90.
  • This sensor arrangement is particularly suitable for the detection of joints, less for tow-twists. In the 6 and 7 Sensor arrangements shown can thus serve, inter alia, in conjunction with an optical sensor for the discrimination of tow-twists and joints.
