Definitions

  • the object of the invention is a holder unit for use in a web changer of tobacco industry material.
  • Such machines form a rod from a continuous web of filter material, from a string of segments of finite length or from fibers of a predetermined length, which is then wrapped in a web of a wrapper material. The continuous rod thus formed is cut into single rods of determined lengths.
  • the joining of these two webs of material on the machine is usually carried out by mechanical through embossing the two ends of the overlapping webs of material, or by gluing them together with double-sided adhesive tape, which is usually stuck to the leading end of material web wound up on a new reel.
  • Double-sided adhesive tape which is usually stuck to the leading end of material web wound up on a new reel.
  • the process of joining two webs of material during production usually requires the machine to be stopped or slowed down, or alternatively a buffer is used in which a certain length of the material web is stored, the selection of which during the process of joining the webs allows to perform the joining without stopping. It is important to make the splice in such a way that there is as little waste as possible in the form of the end of the web being cut from the splice point to the end of the web, or that the splice point does not require subsequent rejection of the formed articles.
