Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the production of strands in a tobacco processing industry, comprising the steps of feeding cigarette paper, on the one hand, and tobacco into the strand device, merging cigarette paper and tobacco, gluing the cigarette paper and forming a cigarette rod wrapped in cigarette paper, for example a Strandabellers for interrupting the transport of strand produced in the strand device of the strand device to one of the strand device downstream device and discharging the then resulting shot material, and collecting the discharged shot material.
- the invention further relates to a strand device for producing strands of the tobacco-processing industry, comprising means for feeding cigarette paper, means for feeding tobacco, means for combining cigarette paper and tobacco, means for gluing the cigarette paper, means for forming a cigarette paper wrapped Tobacco strand, means for interrupting the transport of the tobacco rod formed from the strand device to a device downstream of the strand device and a container for collecting the incurred by the interruption shot material.
- the strand device is usually part of an arrangement which consists of a distributor unit, the strand unit and a downstream device, for example a filter application unit.
- the one from the distribution unit supplied tobacco, so loose tobacco, tobacco blends, tobacco with additives and the like, as well as withdrawn from bobbins withdrawn cigarette paper and formed into a wrapped with the cigarette paper tobacco rod.
- a suitably designed means for example a so-called strand decanter, is activated.
- the continuous transport of the strand or of the sections separated therefrom is interrupted or stopped by the strand stripper, so that the strand or the sections are diverted or discharged as weft material.
- the resulting shot material which usually consists of tobacco material and paper, collected in a container directly to the Strangeinraum and then transported away for purposes of disposal or reprocessing container to make room for the advancing weft material.
- the previous methods and the corresponding devices during collection and removal of incurred in the strand production in the strand device shot material have the disadvantage that the removal of the weft material is complicated and expensive.
- the weft material consists predominantly of tobacco, paper and long strands, ie long sections of cigarette paper wrapped tobacco, which complicates reworking or reprocessing of the weft material.
- the obtained with the conventional method in the strand production and collected weft material is costly and cumbersome to separate and lead with increased effort back into the processing process.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to propose a simple and safe method for handling the resulting in the Strangeinraum shot material.
- the task continues to be to provide a corresponding Strangeinraum.
- the weft material is actively sucked away via a single pipe by means of suction from the Strangeinraum away.
- the weft material can be controlled as a unit, that is, tobacco coated with paper, and continuously removed from the region of the strand device.
- the weft material can be sucked for further use directly behind the Strangeinraum, which can be used as suction or transport air already present at the user feed center.
- a particularly simple and safe method for easy and inexpensive handling of the weft material is proposed, which simultaneously takes into account the tight space conditions on a string device.
- An expedient development of the invention is characterized in that the glue supply for gluing the cigarette paper is stopped with the switching of the strand beater. As a result, long strands or long strand sections of tobacco wrapped with cigarette paper are avoided. Once the gluing is stopped, the weft material already falls in quasi-separate form, so that it is possible to dispense with the separation of the wrapped tobacco strands. In other words, the mechanical and / or electronic coupling of strand cutter and glue nozzle means that only very short, already finished strand sections occur as weft material. Once the glue supply is stopped, the shot material consists of tobacco on the one hand and cigarette paper on the other. Thus, the tobacco located in the weft material can be recovered without additional effort.
- the weft material is sucked into a separator, in which the weft material is separated from the suction air and then fed to a collecting container. This further simplifies the further processing of the weft material.
- a particularly preferred embodiment is characterized in that the tobacco obtained from the weft material is returned manually or automatically to a distribution device arranged upstream of the strand device.
- a "closed" cycle is virtually created in that the discharged weft material is at least partially, namely in the circumference of the recovered tobacco, fed directly back to the strand production via the distributor device.
- the procedure according to the invention allows short routes and thus short lying or storage times of the tobacco, which prevents drying out of the tobacco.
- the tobacco obtained from the weft material is metered and mixed with fresh tobacco and returned to the distributor device.
- This procedure offers the user the possibility of determining the dosage of the tobacco obtained from the weft material and in particular the mixing ratio between the tobacco obtained from the weft material and the "fresh" tobacco, ie tobacco, which is first supplied to the distributor device.
- the object is also achieved by a Strangeincardi of the type mentioned in that the container is connected to collect the weft material to a single acted upon with suction air pipe, such that the weft material is sucked away from the Strangeinraum.
- the embodiments shown in the drawing are used for handling incurred in a Strangeinraum shot material.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Strängen in einer Strangeinrichtung der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie, umfassend die Schritte: Zuführen von Zigarettenpapier einerseits und Tabak andererseits in die Strangeinrichtung, Zusammenführen von Zigarettenpapier und Tabak, Beleimen des Zigarettenpapiers und Bilden eines mit Zigarettenpapier umhüllten Tabakstrangs, Schalten eines Strangabschlägers zum Unterbrechen des Transports des in der Strangeinrichtung hergestellten Strangs von der Strangeinrichtung an eine der Strangeinrichtung nachgeordnete Vorrichtung und Abführen des dann anfallenden Schussmaterials, und Sammeln des ausgeschleusten Schussmaterials.The invention relates to a process for the production of strands in a tobacco processing industry, comprising the steps of feeding cigarette paper, on the one hand, and tobacco into the strand device, merging cigarette paper and tobacco, gluing the cigarette paper and forming a cigarette rod wrapped in cigarette paper, for example a Strandabschlägers for interrupting the transport of strand produced in the strand device of the strand device to one of the strand device downstream device and discharging the then resulting shot material, and collecting the discharged shot material.
Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung eine Strangeinrichtung zur Herstellung von Strängen der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie, umfassend Mittel zum Zuführen von Zigarettenpapier, Mittel zum Zuführen von Tabak, Mittel zum Zusammenführen von Zigarettenpapier und Tabak, Mittel zum Beleimen des Zigarettenpapiers, Mittel zum Formen eines von Zigarettenpapier umhüllten Tabakstrangs, Mittel zum Unterbrechen des Transports des gebildeten Tabakstrangs von der Strangeinrichtung an eine der Strangeinrichtung nachgeordnete Vorrichtung sowie einen Behälter zum Sammeln des durch die Unterbrechung anfallenden Schussmaterials.The invention further relates to a strand device for producing strands of the tobacco-processing industry, comprising means for feeding cigarette paper, means for feeding tobacco, means for combining cigarette paper and tobacco, means for gluing the cigarette paper, means for forming a cigarette paper wrapped Tobacco strand, means for interrupting the transport of the tobacco rod formed from the strand device to a device downstream of the strand device and a container for collecting the incurred by the interruption shot material.
Solche Verfahren und Vorrichtungen kommen in der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie zum Einsatz, um Zigaretten oder andere stabförmige Artikel, wie z.B. Zigarillos oder dergleichen aus endlosen Strängen herzustellen. Dazu ist die Strangeinrichtung üblicherweise Bestandteil einer Anordnung, die aus einer Verteilereinheit, der Strangeinheit und einer nachgeordneten Vorrichtung, beispielsweise einer Filteransetzeinheit besteht. In der Strangeinheit werden der aus der Verteilereinheit zugeführte Tabak, also loser Tabak, Tabakmischungen, Tabak mit Zusatzstoffen und dergleichen, sowie von Bobinen abgezogenes Zigarettenpapier zusammengeführt und zu einem mit dem Zigarettenpapier umhüllten Tabakstrang geformt. Diese Verfahren und Vorrichtungen bzw. Anordnungen sind hinlänglich bekannt, weshalb auf eine ausführliche Beschreibung der eigentlichen Strangherstellung verzichtet wird.Such methods and devices are used in the tobacco processing industry to produce cigarettes or other rod-shaped articles, such as cigarillos or the like, from endless strands. For this purpose, the strand device is usually part of an arrangement which consists of a distributor unit, the strand unit and a downstream device, for example a filter application unit. In the string unit, the one from the distribution unit supplied tobacco, so loose tobacco, tobacco blends, tobacco with additives and the like, as well as withdrawn from bobbins withdrawn cigarette paper and formed into a wrapped with the cigarette paper tobacco rod. These methods and devices or arrangements are well known, which is why a detailed description of the actual strand production is dispensed with.
Bei der Herstellung von stabförmigen Artikeln, wie z.B. Zigaretten oder dergleichen, die von einem endlosen Strang abgetrennt werden, fällt insbesondere auch in der Strangeinheit Schussmaterial an. Das Schussmaterial ist solches Material, das aus dem regulären Betrieb ausgesondert wird. Es wird z.B. durch Anfahr- oder Stoppvorgänge, durch Reißen des Zigarettenpapiers, durch Strangbruch oder auf andere Weise erzeugt. Zum Unterbrechen des Transports des in der Strangeinrichtung hergestellten Strangs von der Strangeinrichtung an eine der Strangeinrichtung nachgeordneten Vorrichtung, beispielsweise die Filteransetzeinheit, wird ein entsprechend ausgebildetes Mittel, beispielsweise ein so genannter Strangabschläger aktiviert. Mit anderen Worten wird der kontinuierliche Transport des Stranges bzw. der davon abtrennten Abschnitte durch den Strangabschläger unterbrochen bzw. gestoppt, so dass der Strang bzw. die Abschnitte als Schussmaterial umgeleitet bzw. ausgeschleust werden. Bisher wird das anfallende Schussmaterial, das üblicherweise aus Tabakmaterial und Papier besteht, in einem Behälter direkt an der Strangeinrichtung gesammelt und dann zu Zwecken der Entsorgung oder Wiederaufbereitung behälterweise abtransportiert, um dem nachrückenden Schussmaterial Platz zu machen.In the production of rod-shaped articles, e.g. Cigarettes or the like, which are separated from an endless strand, falls in particular in the strand unit shot material. The weft material is such material that is discarded from regular operation. It is e.g. by start-up or stopping operations, by tearing the cigarette paper, by strand break or otherwise generated. To interrupt the transport of the strand produced in the strand device from the strand device to a device downstream of the strand device, for example the filter application unit, a suitably designed means, for example a so-called strand decanter, is activated. In other words, the continuous transport of the strand or of the sections separated therefrom is interrupted or stopped by the strand stripper, so that the strand or the sections are diverted or discharged as weft material. So far, the resulting shot material, which usually consists of tobacco material and paper, collected in a container directly to the Strangeinrichtung and then transported away for purposes of disposal or reprocessing container to make room for the advancing weft material.
Die bisherigen Verfahren sowie die entsprechenden Vorrichtungen beim Sammeln und Abtransportieren des bei der Strangherstellung in der Strangeinrichtung anfallenden Schussmaterials weisen jedoch den Nachteil auf, dass der Abtransport des Schussmaterials aufwendig und teuer ist. Des Weiteren besteht das Schussmaterial überwiegend aus Tabak, Papier und langen Strängen, also langen Abschnitten von mit Zigarettenpapier umhülltem Tabak, was eine Nachbearbeitung bzw. Wiederaufbereitung des Schussmaterials erschwert. Anders ausgedrückt ist das mit der herkömmlichen Methode bei der Strangherstellung anfallende und gesammelte Schussmaterial nur kostenintensiv und umständlich zu trennen und mit erhöhtem Aufwand wieder zurück in den Verarbeitungsprozess zu führen.However, the previous methods and the corresponding devices during collection and removal of incurred in the strand production in the strand device shot material have the disadvantage that the removal of the weft material is complicated and expensive. Furthermore, the weft material consists predominantly of tobacco, paper and long strands, ie long sections of cigarette paper wrapped tobacco, which complicates reworking or reprocessing of the weft material. In other words, the obtained with the conventional method in the strand production and collected weft material is costly and cumbersome to separate and lead with increased effort back into the processing process.
Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein einfaches und sicheres Verfahren zum Handhaben des in der Strangeinrichtung anfallenden Schussmaterials vorzuschlagen. Die Aufgabe besteht weiterhin darin, eine entsprechende Strangeinrichtung zu schaffen.The invention is therefore based on the object to propose a simple and safe method for handling the resulting in the Strangeinrichtung shot material. The task continues to be to provide a corresponding Strangeinrichtung.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren mit den eingangs genannten Schritten dadurch gelöst, dass das Schussmaterial aktiv über eine einzige Rohrleitung mittels Saugluft von der Strangeinrichtung weg abgesaugt wird. Mit dieser erfindungsgemäßen Lösung wird erreicht, dass das Schussmaterial als Einheit, also als mit Papier umhüllter Tabak, kontrolliert und kontinuierlich aus dem Bereich der Strangeinrichtung abgeführt werden kann. Beispielsweise kann das Schussmaterial zur weiteren Verwendung direkt hinter die Strangeinrichtung gesaugt werden, wobei als Saugluft bzw. Transportluft die ohnehin beim Benutzer vorliegende Beschickungszentrale verwendet werden kann. Damit wird ein besonders einfaches und sicheres Verfahren zum leichten und kostengünstigen Handhaben des Schussmaterials vorgeschlagen, das gleichzeitig den engen Platzverhältnissen an einer Strangeinrichtung Rechnung trägt.This object is achieved by a method with the steps mentioned above in that the weft material is actively sucked away via a single pipe by means of suction from the Strangeinrichtung away. With this solution according to the invention it is achieved that the weft material can be controlled as a unit, that is, tobacco coated with paper, and continuously removed from the region of the strand device. For example, the weft material can be sucked for further use directly behind the Strangeinrichtung, which can be used as suction or transport air already present at the user feed center. Thus, a particularly simple and safe method for easy and inexpensive handling of the weft material is proposed, which simultaneously takes into account the tight space conditions on a string device.
Eine zweckmäßige Weiterbildung der Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass mit dem Schalten des Strangabschlägers die Leimzufuhr zum Beleimen des Zigarettenpapiers gestoppt wird. Dadurch werden lange Stränge bzw. lange Strangabschnitte aus mit Zigarettenpapier umhülltem Tabak vermieden. Sobald die Beleimung gestoppt ist, fällt das Schussmaterial bereits in quasi getrennter Form an, so dass auf die Auftrennung der umhüllten Tabakstränge verzichtet werden kann. Mit anderen Worten führt die mechanische und/oder elektronische Kopplung von Strangabschläger und Leimdüse dazu, dass nur sehr kurze, bereits fertig gebildete Strangabschnitte als Schussmaterial anfallen. Sobald die Leimzufuhr gestoppt ist, besteht das Schussmaterial aus Tabak einerseits und Zigarettenpapier andererseits. Damit kann der im Schussmaterial befindliche Tabak ohne zusätzlichen Aufwand zurückgewonnen werden.An expedient development of the invention is characterized in that the glue supply for gluing the cigarette paper is stopped with the switching of the strand beater. As a result, long strands or long strand sections of tobacco wrapped with cigarette paper are avoided. Once the gluing is stopped, the weft material already falls in quasi-separate form, so that it is possible to dispense with the separation of the wrapped tobacco strands. In other words, the mechanical and / or electronic coupling of strand cutter and glue nozzle means that only very short, already finished strand sections occur as weft material. Once the glue supply is stopped, the shot material consists of tobacco on the one hand and cigarette paper on the other. Thus, the tobacco located in the weft material can be recovered without additional effort.
Vorteilhafterweise wird das Schussmaterial in einen Abscheider gesaugt, in dem das Schussmaterial von der Saugluft getrennt und dann einem Sammelbehälter zugeführt wird. Damit wird die Weiterverarbeitung des Schussmaterials weiter vereinfacht.Advantageously, the weft material is sucked into a separator, in which the weft material is separated from the suction air and then fed to a collecting container. This further simplifies the further processing of the weft material.
Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der aus dem Schussmaterial gewonnene Tabak manuell oder automatisch in eine der Strangeinrichtung vorgeschaltete Verteilereinrichtung zurückgeführt wird. Durch diese Weiterbildung wird quasi ein "geschlossener" Kreislauf erzeugt, indem das ausgeschleuste Schussmaterial mindestens teilweise, nämlich im Umfang des wiedergewonnenen Tabaks, direkt wieder der Strangherstellung über die Verteilervorrichtung zugeführt wird. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorgehensweise erlaubt kurze Wege und damit kurze Liege- bzw. Lagerungszeiten des Tabaks, wodurch einer Austrocknung des Tabaks vorgebeugt wird.A particularly preferred embodiment is characterized in that the tobacco obtained from the weft material is returned manually or automatically to a distribution device arranged upstream of the strand device. As a result of this development, a "closed" cycle is virtually created in that the discharged weft material is at least partially, namely in the circumference of the recovered tobacco, fed directly back to the strand production via the distributor device. The procedure according to the invention allows short routes and thus short lying or storage times of the tobacco, which prevents drying out of the tobacco.
Vorteilhafterweise wird der aus dem Schussmaterial gewonnene Tabak dosiert und mit frischem Tabak vermischt in die Verteilereinrichtung zurückgeführt. Diese Verfahrensweise bietet dem Nutzer die Möglichkeit, die Dosierung des aus dem Schussmaterial gewonnenen Tabaks und insbesondere auch das Mischungsverhältnis zwischen dem aus dem Schussmaterial gewonnenen Tabak und dem "frischen" Tabak, also Tabak, der erstmals der Verteilereinrichtung zugeführt wird, selbst zu bestimmen.Advantageously, the tobacco obtained from the weft material is metered and mixed with fresh tobacco and returned to the distributor device. This procedure offers the user the possibility of determining the dosage of the tobacco obtained from the weft material and in particular the mixing ratio between the tobacco obtained from the weft material and the "fresh" tobacco, ie tobacco, which is first supplied to the distributor device.
Die Aufgabe wird auch durch eine Strangeinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass der Behälter zum Sammeln des Schussmaterials an eine einzige mit Saugluft beaufschlagte Rohrleitung angeschlossen ist, derart, dass das Schussmaterial von der Strangeinrichtung weg abgesaugt wird. Die sich daraus ergebenden Vorteile wurden bereits im Zusammenhang mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren beschrieben, weshalb zur Vermeidung von Wiederholungen auf die entsprechenden Passagen verwiesen wird.The object is also achieved by a Strangeinrichtung of the type mentioned in that the container is connected to collect the weft material to a single acted upon with suction air pipe, such that the weft material is sucked away from the Strangeinrichtung. The resulting advantages have already been described in connection with the method according to the invention, so reference is made to avoid repetition on the corresponding passages.

Das Mittel 19 zum Unterbrechen des Transports, das z.B. ein so genannter Strangabschläger sein kann, und das Mittel 17 zum Beleimen, das z.B. eine Leimdüse sein kann, stehen miteinander in Wirkverbindung, derart, dass ein Schalten des Mittels 19 zwangsläufig zum Stoppen der Beleimung führt. Es ist eine mechanische und/oder elektronische Rückkopplung von dem Strangabschläger an die Leimdüse vorgesehen, so dass das Auslösen des Strangabschlägers, das beispielsweise durch einen Messkopf hervorgerufen wird, zum Stoppen der Leimzufuhr und/oder zum Abheben der Leimdüse vom Zigarettenpapier zeitgleich oder zeitversetzt führt. Der Strangabschläger ist vorzugsweise direkt oberhalb des Behälters 20, der bevorzugt als Absaugtrichter ausgebildet ist, angeordnet, so dass die vom endlosen Strang abgeschlagenen Abschnitte und/oder das durch das Anfahren oder Stoppen der Strangeinrichtung sowie durch Papierriss, Strangbruch oder dergleichen anfallende Schussmaterial direkt durch Schwerkraft in den Behälter 20 bzw. genauer in den Absaugtrichter fallen. An den Absaugtrichter schließt sich die einzelne Rohrleitung 21 an. Der Ansaugtrichter kann auch integraler Bestandteil der Rohrleitung 21 sein.The means 19 for interrupting the transport, which may for example be a so-called Abrangabschläger, and the
Die Rohrleitung 21, die an ein Drucksystem 50 angeschlossen ist, bevorzugt an ein ohnehin beim Nutzer vorhandenes Beschickungssystem oder an jede andere einen Transportstrom erzeugende bzw. Transportluft bereitstellende Einrichtung, ist Bestandteil einer Tabakrückführanordnung 22, die einen Abscheider 23 zum Trennen des Schussmaterials von der Saugluft und einen Sammelbehälter 24 für das von der Saugluft getrennte Schussmaterial aufweist (siehe z.B.
Die Tabakrückführanordnung 22 umfasst vorzugsweise auch Mittel 26 zum automatischen Trennen von Tabak und Zigarettenpapier (siehe z.B.
Weiterhin kann die Tabakrückführanordnung 22 Mittel 27 zum automatischen Zurückführen des aus dem Schussmaterial gewonnenen Tabaks vorzugsweise in eine der Strangeinrichtung 12 bezogen auf den Materialfluss der Strangherstellung vorgeschaltete Verteilereinrichtung 11 aufweisen. Das Mittel 27 kann z.B. einen Saugrüssel 28 umfassen, der manuell oder automatisch aus einer Warteposition in eine Saugposition und umgekehrt bewegbar ist (siehe z.B.
Zusätzlich zum Sammelbehälter 24 kann ein weiterer Behälter 30 vorgesehen sein, der zur Aufnahme des aus dem Schussmaterial gewonnenen Tabaks ausgebildet und eingerichtet ist. Innerhalb des Behälters 30 befindet sich mindestens eine Walze 31, vorzugsweise jedoch zwei Walzen 31. Diese vorzugsweise mit Nadeln besetzten Walzen 31 bilden eine mechanische Sperre, um den Tabak in dem Behälter zurückzuhalten. Über den Antrieb bzw. die Drehzahl der Walzen 31 kann der Tabak dosiert über Leitungen 32 an die Verteilereinrichtung 11 zurückgeführt werden, ebenfalls bevorzugt über eine Weiche 29 zum Mischen mit "frischem" Tabak (siehe z.B.
In der
Die einzelnen zuvor genannten und beschriebenen Komponenten der Anordnung 10 sind über Druckluft- bzw. Saugluftleitungen miteinander verbunden, wobei im Bereich der Saugluftleitungen auch Drosselklappen oder andere den Transportstrom beeinflussende Elemente angeordnet sein können.The individual components of the
Im Folgenden wird das erfindungsgemäße Verfahrensprinzip näher erläutert:
Der Strangeinrichtung 12 wird aus der Verteilereinrichtung 11 als Mittel 15 Tabak, also loser Tabak, eine Tabakmischung, Tabak oder Tabakmischung mit Zusatzstoffen und/oder Geschmacksstoffen, zugeführt. Von Bobinen wird endloses Zigarettenpapier über einen Einfädeler der Strangeinrichtung 12 zugeführt. Der Tabak wird mit dem Zigarettenpapier zusammengeführt, indem der Tabak auf dem ausgebreiteten Zigarettenpapier abgelegt wird. Anschließend wird das Zigarettenpapier zur Bildung einer Klebenaht in Längsrichtung, also in Transportrichtung T, beleimt und zu einem mit Zigarettenpapier umhüllten Tabakstrang geformt. Wird der Strang bzw. dessen Herstellung erwünscht oder unerwünscht unterbrochen, wird der Strangabschläger manuell oder automatisch geschaltet, so dass der Transport des in der Strangeinrichtung hergestellten Strangs von der Strangeinrichtung an eine der Strangeinrichtung nachgeordnete Vorrichtung unterbrochen wird. Das dann anfallende Schussmaterial, das aus mit Papier umhülltem Tabak besteht, wird abgeführt und gesammelt.
Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt das Abführen des Schussmaterials über die einzelne Rohrleitung 21 mittels Saugluft von der Strangeinrichtung 12 weg. Das Schussmaterial wird also nicht direkt an der Strangeinrichtung durch passives Fallen in einen Behälter gesammelt, sondern aktiv abgesaugt. Das Schussmaterial wird auch nicht unmittelbar hinter der Strangeinrichtung getrennt. Vorzugsweise wird das Schussmaterial der Strangeinrichtung 12 hinter die Strangeinrichtung 12 gesaugt.The method principle according to the invention is explained in more detail below:
The
According to the invention, the discharge of the weft material via the
Die weiteren im Folgenden beschriebenen Verfahrensschritte bilden bevorzugte Weiterbildungen, wobei die Schritte einzeln oder in Kombination miteinander ausgeführt werden können. Die Trennung des Schussmaterials erfolgt erst in dem Abscheider 23. Das von der Saugluft getrennte Schussmaterial wird in dem Sammelbehälter 24 gesammelt. Das gesammelte und von der Saugluft getrennte Schussmaterial wird manuell oder automatisch nach Tabak und Zigarettenpapier getrennt. Bei der automatischen Trennung erfolgt diese z.B. durch ein Sieb, so dass in dem Sammelbehälter 24 z.B. ein erster Bereich mit Zigarettenpapier und ein weiterer Bereich mit Tabak entstehen. Der aus dem Schussmaterial gewonnene Tabak wird manuell oder automatisch in eine der Strangeinrichtung 12 vorgeschaltete und als Mittel 15 ausgebildete Verteilereinrichtung 11 zurückgeführt. Dass die Verteilereinrichtung 11 der Strangeinrichtung 12 vorgeschaltet ist, bedeutet nicht zwingend, dass die Verteilereinrichtung auch örtlich vor der Strangeinrichtung 12 stehen muss. In den
Wird der Strangabschläger als Mittel 19 zum Unterbrechen des Transports des Stranges geschaltet, beispielsweise weil ein Messkopf einen Strangbruch oder den Riss des Zigarettenpapiers erkannt hat oder weil sich die Strangeinrichtung 12 im Anfahr- oder Stoppmodus befindet, wird das Beleimen des Zigarettenpapiers gestoppt. Anders ausgedrückt führt eine Betätigung des Strangabschlägers zwangsläufig, vorzugsweise zeitgleich, dazu, dass die Leimzufuhr zur Leimdüse als Mittel 17 zum Beleimen gestoppt wird. Dadurch werden lange Stränge bzw. lange Strangabschnitte, bei denen der Tabak mit einem verklebten Zigarettenpapier umhüllt ist, vermieden, so dass der im Schussmaterial befindliche Tabak ohne zusätzliche Auftrenneinrichtungen zurückgewonnen werden kann. Die Leimzufuhr kann durch Unterbrechen der Leimzuführung und/oder durch das Abschwenken der Leimdüse vom Zigarettenpapier erreicht werden. Selbstverständlich sind auch andere übliche Rückkopplungen zur Herstellung einer Wirkverbindung zwischen dem Strangabschläger und der Leimdüse möglich.If the Strangabschläger is switched as a
