Definitions
- a filter manufacturing apparatus 1 includes, as sections for manufacturing a filter rod, a tow treating section 2, an additive feeding section 4, a shaping section 6, and a wrapping section 8.
- the plasticizer feeding unit 26 includes a chamber 26A storing a plasticizer (triacetin) and a brush roll (not illustrated in the drawings) that rotates in the chamber 26A.
- the brush roll rotates in the chamber 26A to splash and make the liquid plasticizer misty.
- the misty plasticizer is discharged through a discharge port of the chamber 26A and adheres to the filter web WF (plasticizer feeding step).
- the filter web WF to which the plasticizer has been added is provided with tackiness as a result of a melting effect of the plasticizer on cellulose acetate fibers.
- Table 2 indicates results of two measurement processes for the classifying capability for each of the additives A to C with a weight of approximately 13 to 20 kg when the additives were classified using the classifier 38 according to the present embodiment.
- [Table 2] Coarse grains Fine grains Remark on classification stat kg % g % A (first time) 20.25 99.928 14.52 0.072 Acceptable A (second time) 20.25 99.907 18.89 0.093 Acceptable B (first time) 12.98 98.632 7.39 0.056 Acceptable B (second time) 13.04 00.088 7.08 0.054 Acceptable C (first time) 13.02 99.541 14.36 0.110 Acceptable C (second time) 13.02 99.541 15.34 0.117 Acceptable
- the filter manufacturing apparatus 1 feeds the activated carbon AC to the flat filter web WF shaped from the tow T to form a filter.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is applicable to formation of a filter including feeding the activated carbon AC among filter portions (filter elements) formed by cutting a filter rod.
