Definitions

  • the in Fig. 1 shown special filter 15 of a smoking article 10 is cut in half.
  • the filter 15 has a spherical body 16.
  • the interface 17 delimits the filter 15 relative to the tobacco rod 12 and, in the illustrated example, simultaneously represents the cutting edge at which the filter 15 has been separated from the remainder of the smoking article 10, ie the paper wrapper 11 and the tobacco rod 12.
  • the body 16 is filled with additive.
  • the body 16 has an outer shell, which can be destroyed by external force or contact pressure on the upper edge 18. If necessary, thus the taste of the smoking article 10 can be influenced.
  • paper hulls 11 are further promoted on the conveyor belt 25 with or without filter 14 in the conveying direction X and after reaching the not shown second deflection roller collected in a collecting container, not shown.
  • the separated tobacco sticks 12 are also collected in a collecting device, not shown, and recycled.
  • the belt conveyors 21, 21 ' together form the clamping conveyor device 31.
  • the smoking articles are respectively conveyed in a clamping manner between the upper run 30 of the belt conveyor 21 serving as a receptacle and the lower run 29 of the belt conveyor 21' serving as holding means 21 '.
  • the belt conveyors 21, 21 ' comprise a drive roller 23 and a tension roller 24 around which a belt is tensioned.
  • the drive roller 23 and the tension roller 24 have circumferentially grooves 26.
  • each conveyor belt 25 is supported by a support member 27.
  • cube-shaped supporting blocks 28 are attached laterally.
  • the Belt conveyor 21 ' is displaceable in the Y direction to the conveying path. In this way, as needed, the contact pressure against the top of a smoking article can be adjusted for fixation.
  • Fig. 8 shows the clamping conveyor 31 according to Fig. 7a and 7b , wherein additionally the lateral cutting devices 40 are arranged laterally.
  • the horizontal cutting devices 40 guide the in Fig. 9a and 9b schematically illustrated method for separating, wherein a filterless smoking article 45 is separated by lateral separation into two halves of the paper wrapper 11 and the tobacco rod 12.
