Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing filters for smoking articles and filters for smoking articles obtained by such a method, according to the preamble of present claims 1 and 15.
  • Said filters are typically made by wrapping a filter rod with a wrapping paper and cutting the resulting wrapped filter rod into pieces. These processes are conducted by specialized ma chines very rapidly. Thereby, the visual appearance and quality of the final filters is often miti- gated due to manufacturing tolerances of such processes and machines, respectively.
  • the manufacturing tolerances relate to arrangement of the wrapping paper and the filter rod, wherein their positions can be displaced relative to each other, resulting in unwrapped filter rod portions or protruding wrapping paper portions at the edges of the final filters. It is therefore the objective of the present invention to provide a method for producing filters for smoking articles that improves the visual appearance and quality of the final filters.
  • the afore-mentioned problems are solved by a method for producing filters for smoking arti cles.
  • the method according to the invention comprises the following steps of: providing a fil ter rod, the filter rod having a cylinder shape with a first filter rod end, a second filter rod end and a circumferential filter rod surface; providing an outer wrapper; wrapping the outer wrap per around the filter rod along a filter rod circumferential direction covering at least parts of the circumferential filter rod surface; obtaining a wrapped filter rod; cutting the wrapped filter rod perpendicular to a filter rod longitudinal direction into outer and inner wrapped filter rod segments, wherein a first outer wrapped filter rod segment comprising the first filter rod end and a second outer wrapped filter rod segment comprising the second filter rod end have a length being less than 10 % of a total length of the filter rod and/or less than 10 mm; and ob taining the inner wrapped filter rod segments as the filters and disposing the outer wrapped filter rod segments.
  • the method provides the production of filters with an enhanced visual appearance, prefera bly of edges of the inner wrapped filter rod segments since the outer wrapped filter rod seg ments are discarded.
  • the filter rod is produced longer than required for the final filters or inner wrapped filter rod segments, respectively, so that the outer wrapped filter rod segments can be disposed. Therefore, the filter rod is preferably produced longer by the length of the first and the second outer wrapped filter rod segments.
  • the inner wrapped filter seg ments constituting the filters, provide a shared ending of the filter rod and the outer wrapper by means that the outer wrapper is not protruding or recessed relative to the filter rod and vice versa. Further, the outer wrapper and the filter rod of the inner wrapped filter rod seg ments have the same length.
  • the obtained wrapped filter rod comprises the filter rod and the outer wrapper, wherein the outer wrapper is wrapped around the filter rod. Furthermore, the wrapped filter rod comprises the filter rod and the outer wrapper, wherein the outer wrapper is firmly attached to the filter rod. According to the invention, disposing the outer wrapped filter rod segments should be also understood as not using the outer wrapped filter rod segments as filters for smoking articles. The outer filter segments might also preferably be recycled or used for another application.
  • smoking articles comprise conventional cigarettes, heat-not-burn sticks and/or electronic cigarettes.
  • the filter rod extends in a filter rod longitudinal direction, which is parallel to the circumferential filter rod surface.
  • the filter rod further extends in a filter rod radial direction, which is perpendicular to the filter rod longitudinal direction. More preferably, the filter rod further extends in a filter rod circumferential direction, which extends along/with the circumferential filter rod surface.
  • At least two inner wrapped filter rod segments i.e. at least two filters, are ob tained by cutting the wrapped filter rod. It is also possible that a plurality of inner wrapped fil ter rod segments is obtained if the wrapped filter rod is cut more often.
  • the method is conducted by a smoking article filter manufacturing machine.
  • the filter rod is preferably provided by a filter rod maker machine.
  • the outer wrapper is substantially covering the whole circumferential filter rod sur face. This ensures the maintaining of the visual appearance of the final filter since there are no unwrapped (by the outer wrapper) parts of the filter rod that are visible.
  • the method/ the steps is/are executed by one suitable machine. It is also possible that the method/ the steps are conducted by at least two separated machines, for example one machine handles outer wrapper application steps, wherein another machine performs cutting and separation steps. Therefore, it is conceivable that the steps of the method could be executed spatially and temporally separated from each other.
  • At least two inner wrapped filter rod segments are obtained, when the wrapped filter rod is being cut. Obtaining two inner wrapped filter rod segments is particularly preferred. In such a way, more filters are produced in one step increasing the effi ciency of the method.
  • the number of inner wrapped filter rod segments depends on the num ber of cuts or how often the wrapped filter rod is cut, respectively.
  • the first outer wrapped filter rod segment and the second outer wrapped filter rod segment have a length being less than 8 %, preferably less than 6 %, more preferably less than 4 % and particularly preferably 3.85 % of the total length of the fil ter rod.
  • Such a length of the outer wrapped filter rod segments leads to the discarding of only small amounts of unused filter rod, thus saving costs and resources. Moreover, a proper vis ual appearance of the filter is guaranteed.
  • the first outer wrapped filter rod segment and the second outer wrapped filter rod segment have a length being less than 8 mm, preferably less than 6 mm, more preferably less than 4 mm and particularly preferably 3 mm.
  • a length of the outer wrapped filter rod segments leads to the discarding of only small amounts of unused filter rod, thus saving costs and resources. Moreover, a proper visual appearance of the filter is guaranteed.
  • the first outer wrapped filter rod segment and the second outer wrapped filter rod segment have the same length so that the process can be easily integrated into existing pro cedures and machines. It is also conceivable that the first outer wrapped filter rod segment and the second outer wrapped filter rod segment have a different length.
  • the outer wrapper is fixed to the filter rod by an adhesive connec tion, wherein the adhesive connection is arranged on an inner outer wrapper surface, the in ner outer wrapper surface being in contact with the circumferential filter rod surface.
  • glueing connections are cheap and easily applicable by known processes.
  • the glueing connection is at least partially covering the inner outer wrapper surface.
  • At least parts of the inner outer wrapper surface are self-adhe sive. This feature ensures the simple arrangement and/or fixation of the outer wrapper on/to the filter rod.
  • an outer surface of the outer wrapper is printed, in particular with letters, symbols, textures and/or emblems. This feature offers the possibility of branding the outer wrapper by printing a company logo or name on it.
  • the printed outer wrap per can preferably be used for marketing and communication purposes.
  • the print- ing on the outer wrapper can indicate the position of a flavouring element, like a flavored cap sule, to facilitate breaking of said capsule. Therefore, it is important that the outer wrapper is precisely applied/wrapped to/on the filter rod, so that the position of printings on the outer wrapper matches the position of a flavoring element inside the filter rod, for example.
  • the filter rod comprises an acetate filter tow and a plug wrap. It is also conceivable, that the filter tow exhibits different structures, particularly visual appear ances, providing flutes, channels, tubes and/or voids. Such filter constructions are known in the art, for example for improving their filtering performance, the visual appearance and/or the branding.
  • the filter rod comprises a plug wrap, i.e. an inner wrapper surrounding the filter plug in between said filter plug and outer wrapper, particularly a plug wrap paper.
  • the plug wrap is preferably wrapped around the filter tow.
  • the plug wrap can exhibit different proper ties, such as low weight, porosity, etc.
  • the use of plug wrap papers and their application on the filter tow is well-known in the art. It is also possible, to use more plug wraps depending on the structure and components of the filter rod/filter.
  • the filter rod also comprises further components like activated or active carbon.
  • the filter rod also comprises further components like activated or active carbon.
  • many different filter rod, filter, filter tow and/or plug wrap designs and/or arrangements are known in the art, wherein all these designs and/or arrangements could be used within the method according to the invention where appropriate.
  • the filter rod comprises a fibrous material, the fibrous material be ing selected from a group consisting of cellulose acetate, cellulose, flax, cotton and polylactic acid.
  • Said fibrous materials on the one hand provide the high active surface to absorb and/or adsorb certain harmful components of smoke and on the other hand have a low weight.
  • the used materials are biodegradable and made of a renewable raw material.
  • a first and a second flavoring element in particular a flavored breakable capsule, being arranged inside the filter rod, wherein a central plane of the filter rod extending perpendicular to the filter rod longitudinal direction defines a first and a second side of the filter rod, wherein the first flavoring element is arranged on the first side of the fil ter rod and the second flavoring element is arranged on the second side of the filter rod, wherein the first and the second flavoring element are arranged in a distance to the central plane, the distance being between 3 m and 20 mm.
  • the first and the second flavoring element are arranged substantially centrally in side the filter rod with respect to the filter rod radial direction.
  • said flavored breakable capsules are made of plastic material or gelatine-based material housing a flavored liquid.
  • the flavored capsule for example contains menthol and also includes other flavorings, e.g. sugars, acetaldehyde, levulinic acid, clove, etc. and many different flavors like spearmint, lemon, apple, strawberry and/or coffee. These capsules can be broken upon demand by mechanical force to release the liquid, thereby flavoring the smoke flowing through.
  • Such flavored capsules, their production and arrangement into filters is well-known in the art nowadays.
  • the flavoring elements are provided as a flavored granular material, wherein different granular materials can be mixed. Granular materials advantageously can not be broken by accident. More preferably, one of the flavoring elements can be a flavored capsule and the other flavoring element can be a flavored granular material.
  • the amount of flavoring elements is related to the number of inner wrapped filter rod segments obtained by cutting the wrapped filter rod.
  • the first and the second flavoring element are arranged in a dis tance between 5 mm and 15 mm, preferably 8 mm and 12 mm and more preferably in a dis tance of 10 mm to the central plane of the filter rod. This feature ensures the safe and per manent arrangement of the flavoring elements inside the filter rod and prevents unwanted damage to said flavored elements during cutting actions.
  • the outer wrapper consists of a paper, or more generally a cellu lose based sheet material, wherein the outer wrapper is preferably textured, structured, coated and/or perforated. Said materials are cheap and easily processable during manufac turing. Moreover, such outer wrappers can provide different properties like a lip release coat ing, perforations to ensure smoke/air permeability or different textures and structures to give the filter a certain touch or feeling. ln a preferred embodiment, a length of the outer wrapper in the filter rod longitudinal direction is the same than the length of the filter rod in the filter rod longitudinal direction. This feature can lead to cost savings since no unnecessary outer wrapper material or filter rod material is used.
  • the filter rod and/or the outer wrapper is/are cut perpendicular to the filter rod longitudinal direction.
  • the different segments are properly separated from each other and the inner wrapped filter rod segments/filters have a better visual quality since the outer wrapper and the filter rod have a shared ending/edge.
  • the invention also comprises a filter for smoking articles obtainable according to the method of the invention.
  • the filter consists of an inner wrapped filter rod segment and an outer wrap per covering the inner wrapped filter rod segment at least in part, wherein the length of the inner wrapped filter rod segment is substantially equal to the length of the outer wrapper when viewed in the filter rod longitudinal direction.
