  • the heat sticks are usually enveloped by a wrapping material.
  • the wrapping material may be paper or tobacco foil. Heat-not-burn products are designed to give smokers a satisfying smoking experience.
  • the method for producing heat sticks thus essentially corresponds to a method for producing cigarette sticks with a conventional distributor unit, which has a suction belt conveyor, and a strand unit, in the longitudinal axial conveying direction of a strand or several strands are formed in a format device and wrapped with a wrapping material.
  • shredded tobacco sheet is now singulated and peeled, to then be formed in a longitudinal axial conveying direction as a strand in a format device.
  • the strand is cut so that heat sticks are n-times usable length.
  • N is a natural number, which is preferably two or more.
  • the churning of the singulated and shredded tobacco sheet preferably takes place in such a way that two strands are formed, which in each case are sheathed and formed in the format device parallel to one another and / or simultaneously with wrapping material. This allows a very high production volume.
  • a very reliable and constant density of the material or a constant weight of the material contained in the heat sticks is possible if preferably followed by the churning of the singulated and shredded tobacco sheet, a trimming step, in which in particular the one or more strands a constant height can be trimmed.
  • a trimming step in which in particular the one or more strands a constant height can be trimmed.
  • no head reinforcement is provided.
  • the trim height remains essentially constant. It should be noted, of course, that the height is preferably controlled by a density measurement of the heat sticks or the wrapped strand.
  • the cut heat sticks are transferred into a transfer unit, in which the heat sticks are conveyed transversely and transferred during the transverse axial conveying without a further cut from the transfer unit to a transverse axial mass flow.
  • a transfer unit in which the heat sticks are conveyed transversely and transferred during the transverse axial conveying without a further cut from the transfer unit to a transverse axial mass flow.
  • the Heat Sticks in the transfer unit maintain their orientation, they are promoted quickly and gently.
  • an additive in particular menthol or a liquid containing menthol, is preferably introduced onto a suction-strand conveyor.
  • an additive in particular menthol or a liquid containing menthol, is preferably introduced onto a suction-strand conveyor.
  • the object is further achieved by the use of a cigarette rod making machine for producing tobacco foil containing heat sticks, which are intended for use in heat-not-burn products of the tobacco-processing industry.
  • Heat Sticks can be produced efficiently and with high reliability of the manufacturing process.
  • the operation of such cigarette rod making machines has been known and optimized for decades. Surprisingly, this experience can also be applied to the processing of isolated and shredded tobacco foil.
  • the cigarette rod maker is a two-strand machine.

  • a stack drum is provided as the third conveyor drum, which is designed to remove the heat sticks from the second conveyor drum and deliver it into a mass flow.
  • a stack drum is for example in EP 0 692 201 B1 shown. The disclosure of this patent is intended to be fully incorporated in this application.
  • a removal drum is provided as the fourth conveyor drum, which is adapted to selectively remove heat sticks from the second conveyor drum.
  • the removed by means of the removal drum Heat Sticks can then be examined for their properties, for example, to change parameters of the manufacturing process.
  • the transfer unit is preferably designed without a turning drum, without a test drum and / or without a cutting device.
  • the stranding machine preferably has a suction strand conveyor in which isolated and comminuted tobacco foil is thrown onto a suction belt or can be thrown on.
  • a nozzle device may be provided in the suction strand conveyor.
  • a nozzle body may be accommodated in a channel cheek of the Saugstrangizaers such as in the EP 2 448 436 B1 is described.
  • the disclosure of this patent is also intended to be fully incorporated in the disclosure of this application.
  • the nozzle device is arranged in the conveying direction of the Saugstrang considerers in the middle of the Saugstrang considerers.
  • heat sticks which are produced in a two-strand process and are conveyed longitudinally axially in a stranding machine, transferred to a transverse axial conveying direction in a transfer unit and conveyed there in one lane.
