Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement, designed and set up for handling transport containers for rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, comprising a device for changing the fill level of empty or filled with rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, a first transport device for feeding the transport containers to the Device for changing the fill level and a second transport device for removing the transport containers from the device for changing the fill level, the transport devices being arranged one above the other or one below the other.
  • the invention also relates to a method for handling transport containers for rod-shaped articles in the tobacco processing industry in an arrangement according to one of claims 1 to 13, in which the level of empty transport containers or filled with rod-shaped articles in the tobacco processing industry is changed via a device, wherein, via a first transport device, transport containers are fed to the device for changing the fill level, and via a second transport device, the transport containers are transported away from the device for changing the fill level, the transport devices being arranged one above the other or one below the other.
  • Such arrangements and methods are used in the tobacco processing industry to empty transport containers filled with rod-shaped articles, for example cigarettes, filters, filter rods, tobacco sticks and the like, or to fill empty transport containers with the aforementioned articles.
  • the rod-shaped articles can have different formats, that is to say different diameters and in particular different lengths, with only articles of one format (that is to say one length and one diameter) being in each transport container. Accordingly, the geometry and the dimensions of the transport containers are usually adapted to the respective formats of the rod-shaped articles.
  • the storage / storage of the rod-shaped articles in the transport containers serves on the one hand to compensate for production fluctuations.
  • the storage / storage of the rod-shaped articles can also be viewed as a kind of process step, for example in order to dry or harden the rod-shaped articles.
  • So-called trays or shaft trays which usually consist of plastic and are correspondingly dimensionally stable and in particular also cardboard trays made of cardboard, cardboard or the like, are known as transport containers. These cardboard trays are less dimensionally stable and require a supporting or stabilizing aid for handling, in particular when handling in the area of a device for changing the filling level of the transport containers.
  • the publication DE 10 2007 041 800 B discloses an arrangement for handling trays between a feed device for feeding slants, a station for changing the fill level of the trays and a removal device for removing the slants.
