  • the invention further relates to a corresponding device for assembling filter segment groups for the production of multi-segment filters of the tobacco processing industry, a corresponding filter rod machine, a method for changing the filter format for assembling filter segment groups for the production of multi-segment filters of the tobacco processing industry with at least two different filter segments and a use.
  • multi-segment filters consisting of different segments, such as different materials. These materials are, for example, cellulose acetate, paper, fluid, granules, sintered elements, hollow cylinders or hollow chambers, capsules and the like.
  • Such multisegment filters which in the context of this invention also include the term "multiple filters", after forming groups of filter segments, for example, are wrapped in a continuous process with wrapping material such as paper and then divided into, in particular multiply, filter rods in order to be further processed.
  • the group forming device comprises two magazines for filter rods, wherein the filter rods are individually removed from the magazines, cut and various cut filter rods are grouped together.
  • the magazines are filled, for example by means of Schragen.
  • MULFI E comprises a strand forming device called KDF 2E and a group forming device called GC E.
  • Machines such as the MULFI allow the production of multi-segment filters with two different filter components, are characterized by a compact and simple design and are therefore reliable and cost-effective.
  • changes in the filter segments or the order of the filter segments are limited and require major rebuilding work on the machine, such as the replacement of the entire group imaging device.

  • Compiling and Queraxial Moving on the one hand and the cutting on the other hand is functionally distributed to different drums.
  • filter segment groups for the manufacture of multi-segment filters of the tobacco processing industry having at least two different filter segments, wherein filter segments of two or more filter segment feeders are fed transaxially to a collator which includes one or more compilation drums on or on which the filter segments axially aligned to form filter segment groups, wherein filter segments of double use length are cut from at least one Filtersegmentzu Swissvorides on a compilation drum in two filter segments simple use length, the cut filter segments are then axially spaced apart and then on a compilation drum a filter segment of double-use length is inserted from another Filtersegmentzu Switzerlandvorides in a gap created by the axial spacing gap between the cut filter segments, which is further developed by the axial spacing of the cut filter segments by means of a unilaterally expanding spreading drum, wherein a cut filter segment axially is shifted and the other cut filter segment remains at its axial position.
  • the inventive method allows the assembly of filter segment groups, which are subsequently assembled into a strand by at least one filter segment are cut into two filter segments simple useful length, these cut filter segments are spaced apart and then further filter segments are inserted into the generated gap.

  • a corresponding unilaterally expanding spreading drum is for example off DE 38 17 740 A1 known.
  • This solution has the further advantage that the process reliability is increased because at least one of the filter segments, namely one of the cut filter segments and optionally further filter segments next to it, are not displaced axially.
  • a format change only the stroke of the unilaterally expanding spreading drum and their position with respect to a predetermined process center plane is set. This can be done for example by means of spacers or by means of a linear motor.

  • a further filter segment or a plurality of further filter segments is or will be displaced axially and / or a further filter segment or several further filter segments will not be displaced axially.
  • Further filter segments can thus lie on the side of the unshifted cut filter segment and / or on the side of the cut filter segment still to be displaced, so that they are also displaced with the cut filter segment to be displaced. This measure gives great flexibility in the production of multi-segment filters.

  • the parting plane or central position is defined in the context of the present patent application as the position or plane at which the contact plane lies between the cut filter segments and from which the cut filter segment axially moved by the spreading drum is moved axially away, so that a gap between the two cut Filter segments is created. This coincides with the cutting plane.
  • triple filters are made with three filter segments or filters with four or more filter segments.
  • two or more spreading spreaders spreading on one side can also be used.
