Description

The proposed utility model relates to the production of smoking articles, mainly cigarettes with special additives.

One of the most important tasks facing manufacturers of smoking products is to limit the amount of unwanted substances that, when smoked, enter the consumer's body and have a harmful effect on his health.

The main direction that provides the solution to this problem is the improvement of tobacco smoke purification.

So, according to the invention according to the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2260359, IPC A24D 1/02; 3/04; 3/16, publication December 27, 2004, to selectively remove certain components contained in the mainstream smoke (puff), it is proposed to use activated carbon and silicon dioxide as adsorbents, which are introduced into the main filter material or placed as inserts in gaps between sections of the main filter material.

In the invention according to the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2020840, IPC A24D 1/04, publication 10/15/1994, to increase the absorption capacity, a two-layer filter design is proposed, which contains a micro insert of a superthin basalt sheet adjacent to the tobacco rod, and the next part of it organic (cellulose acetate, polypropylene, polystyrene) fiber.

A cigarette with effective separation of harmful tarry smoke components according to RF patent No. 2295367, IPC A24D 1/04, publication March 20, 2007, contains a tobacco rod, a mouthpiece filter with ventilation means and a connection of the mouthpiece filter with a tobacco rod, made in the form of a paper mouthpiece wrapper having adhesive bonding to the surface of the mouthpiece filter and an adjacent portion of the surface of the tobacco rod. In this case, the adhesive bond is made in the form of a group of adhesive jumpers between the inner surface of the paper mouthpiece wrapper and the mouthpiece filter. The ventilation means is made in the form of gaps alternating with adhesive jumpers and oriented along the surface of the tobacco rod and the mouthpiece filter with the possibility of forming longitudinal channels open from the side of the tobacco rod and closed at the end portion of the surface of the mouthpiece filter. The adhesive jumpers are made in the form of embossed sections of a paper mouthpiece wrapper having recesses filled with an adhesive composition.

A common drawback of the above analogues is the need for additional technological equipment, increased production costs and, as a result, the cost of the product.

Another approach to solving the problem of limiting the harmful effects of smoking on the consumer’s body is to use smoking products with various additives to change the taste of the product and reduce the nicotine addiction of the consumer.

An aromatic smoking article is known according to the patent of the Russian Federation No. 49683 for a utility model, IPC A24D 1/04, publication December 10, 2005, in which, to neutralize the unpleasant taste sensations of tobacco smoking, a composition of aromatic substances is applied to the filter material, for example, medicinal plant oil and menthol or aromatic component with a fruit and berry flavor.

A disadvantage of the known analogue is the low degree of purification of tobacco smoke.

The closest analogue adopted for the prototype of the proposed utility model is a smoking article according to RF patent No. 2302805, IPC A24D 1/00; 1/04; 1/18, publication of July 20, 2007, which contains a rod wrapped in cigarette paper (cigarette rod) of the material to be smoked, a filter and rim paper by which the filter is connected to the rod. The material being smoked is a mixture of a non-combustible inorganic filler, an alginic binder and an aerosol forming substance. This mixture is mixed with tobacco material, which is treated with an additional humidifier, and is used for stuffing smoking articles, which are characterized by a reduced release of carbonyl compounds, hydrogen cyanide and carcinogenic nitrosamines during smoking.

The disadvantage of the prototype is the high complexity of manufacturing. In addition, the unusual taste of a smoking product, practically free of tobacco, is not in great demand among consumers.

The problem to be solved is to provide a reduced content of nicotine and tar in puff smoke while at the same time neutralizing the unpleasant taste sensations from tobacco smoking.

Achieving the claimed technical result is ensured by selecting special compositions of the smoked filling material based on a mixture of tobacco flavored with various additives, using rim paper soaked in sweet syrup, and also introducing an additional filter ventilation zone.

The essence of the utility model is that in a cigarette containing a cigarette rod with a combined smoked material, a filter and rim paper, through which the filter is connected to a cigarette rod, the smoked material contains a mixture of tobacco raw materials treated with an alcohol-water solution of flavorings and softeners, and the rim the paper is impregnated with a sweet solution and is equipped with a ventilation zone, which is located at a distance of (0.41-0.48) · L _f from the mouthpiece edge of the filter, where L _f is the length of the filter.

Moreover, the specified ventilation zone is made in the form of three rows of perforated holes on the rim paper located along the perimeter of the filter at a distance of 1 mm from each other.

The mixture of tobacco raw materials in the specified cigarette consists of three types of leaf tobacco, reconstituted tobacco, blasted tobacco and blasted tobacco vein in the following ratio of components:

In the process of production of smoking products, tobacco raw materials are first prepared for cutting and packing, and then cigarettes are made with or without a filter.

Preparation of tobacco raw materials begins with the compilation of batches of sacks of tobacco varieties selected according to the recipe in the form of a sheet or strip (a sheet with a removed midrib, divided into parts of various sizes). The composition of the bags also includes reconstituted tobacco, blasted tobacco and blasted tobacco.

Preparation of tobacco raw materials is carried out on a line with a capacity of 4000 kg / h with an initial moisture content of tobacco raw materials (9-14)%.

The tobacco bales freed from the packaging are fed to the recording belt scales using a loading conveyor, then cut into portions depending on the weight of the bales and sent to the direct conditioning drum, where the tobacco is treated with a steam-water mixture. On the inner walls of the drum there are special pins and blades that help to unscrew the tobacco. The humidity of the tobacco at the outlet of the drum is (19-21)%, and the temperature is (65-75) ° C.

Then, the moistened and plucked tobacco mixture is sent to the sauce drum, where, depending on the brand and type of cigarettes produced, it is treated with a sauce that is a solution of carbohydrate substances, extracts of various plants and softeners - propylene glycol and glycerin, heated to a temperature of (60-65) ° С. After casing, the tobacco mixture is conveyed by the conveyor to linear mixers for mixing and curing the tobacco for (0.5-2) hours, during which the sauce is redistributed over the entire mass of tobacco and the moisture is evened out.

After the mixers, fine fractions are separated from the tobacco mixture on a screening vibratory conveyor and the mixture is cleaned of metal impurities on special metal detectors, and then they are cut on rotary tobacco cutters, which is a process of sequential separation of 0.7 mm wide fiber leaves from a pre-compressed mass of leaves.

Sliced tobacco through a dosing belt scale, creating a uniform mass flow having a moisture content of (21-24)%, is sent to the tunnel for steam treatment. In the tunnel, the tobacco is steamed and heated to a temperature of 85 ° C, then it goes through a vibratory gutter to the dryer drum, where the moisture content of tobacco is reduced to the optimum value required for the operation of cigarette equipment, and the filling capacity of tobacco also increases. The humidity of the tobacco at the outlet of the dryer drum is controlled by an infrared moisture analyzer and is in the range (15-18)%. The output temperature of the tobacco is (55-60) ° C.

After drying, the tobacco is cooled and fed using a conveying and cooling conveyor to a horizontal straight conveyor that feeds the tobacco into the flavoring drum. After the dryer drum, blasted (expanded) tobacco vein and blasted tobacco are added to the cut tobacco using dosing tape weights.

A mixture of cut tobacco and vein is processed in a drum by a flavoring agent, which is an alcohol-water solution of aromatic substances and softeners (propylene glycol, glycerin).

After aromatization, the flavored cut tobacco mixture is fed into silos or special containers for tracking for 1-12 hours to evenly distribute aromatic substances throughout the mass of tobacco, as well as to store it before serving on cigarette lines where cigarettes are made, assembled with a filter packing cigarettes into boxes and packing boxes into boxes (blocks).

For the manufacture and packaging of filter cigarettes, lines with a capacity of up to 4,500 cigarettes / min (or 180 packs / min) manufactured by Decoufle (France) and ITM (Netherlands) can be used. The line equipment includes the following equipment:

- provider - a device for forming a double shell of a cigarette (a rod from the material being smoked);

- cigarette machine DL-6S;

- filter assembly machine FD-6S;

- automatic loader of carriages MTF - 8 Flex;

- automatic unloader of ITM TU Flex carriages;

- packing machine HLP 250+

and etc.

Tobacco is fed from a cigarette machine using a feed station with automatic or manual loading of shredded tobacco. Monitoring the level of tobacco in the hopper is carried out by sensors that regulate the flow and stop the machine in the absence of tobacco.

The technological process of making cigarettes on a cigarette machine includes dosing and combing tobacco, separating vein slices, forming a tobacco strand, making a cigarette rod, cutting it, and feeding cigarettes to a filter assembly machine.

Dosing of tobacco into the fleece sector is carried out periodically by a needle cylinder (pre-hopper), which dumps the tobacco onto the inclined plane of the magnet to remove metal particles from the tobacco. After that, the tobacco enters the slow conveyor, which feeds it to a combing drum equipped with a leveling ruler. Drum needles capture tobacco fibers, and the equalizer removes excess from the drum, leaving an even layer of tobacco on it. Next, the chop drum (ripper) provides a complete removal of tobacco fibers from the combing drum and their uniform dispersion on the surface of the dispersion tape (fast conveyor). The tobacco fibers carried by the fast conveyor are fed under a smooth roller that changes the direction of the fibers to vertical without braking and rearrangement.

From the dispersion tape, tobacco fibers are pulled upward into the exhaust duct by a stream of air, and heavy particles (vein sections) fall into the re-sorting passage with an adjustable shutter with a minimum passage width. Then the vein sections are deposited in the box for their collection.

The separation of sections of large and medium-sized veins from the mass of cut tobacco prevents them from entering the tobacco channel and clogging it with tobacco, which guarantees good quality cigarettes.

Tobacco fibers moving along the exhaust channel are attached to the punched tape as it moves, forming a tobacco bundle that, moving with the tobacco tape, passes over the shearing mechanism discs, aligning its lower part and dispensing tobacco by cutting. At the same time, bulges (seals) on the rims of the disk knives are used to seal the tobacco bundle at the places where the cigarette rod was cut.

A rotating brush for removing the cut fibers directs them to the conveyor for feeding into the dosing and pile system of tobacco cigarette machine.

Making a cigarette rod includes feeding a substrate (ficella) for double wrapping a cigarette in a format tape, feeding cigarette paper to a format tape, applying glue to the edge of the cigarette paper and wrapping it with a tobacco tow with a substrate and heating the seam of the cigarette rod.

The substrate is supplied by the provider, which includes the bobbin holder lever with the brakes, the connector, the feed roller, various rollers, the paper guide and the spool roller, where the tobacco bundle is placed on the substrate and inserted into the cigarette rod forming unit for combination with the outer wrapper of the cigarette - cigarette paper.

A format tape carrying a tape of cigarette paper with a tobacco band and a backing passes through a format headset in which the band is pressed and wrapped in two layers of paper. Kaymich nozzle glue is applied to the edge of the outer cigarette paper protruding above the format tape. The edge of the cigarette paper coated with a strip of glue is superimposed on the other, forming the seam of the cigarette rod.

Then the extruder passes through an iron dryer, giving the extruder its final shape. Next, the extruder is transported to the hacking mechanism, where rejection is performed if the formation of the extruder has not occurred, or the direction of the extruder to the cutting mechanism, which cuts the extruder into predetermined parts equal to the double length of the cigarette.

Double-length cigarettes are removed from the cutting mechanism by the suction grooves and transferred by the transfer arms to the grooves of the receiving drum of the FD-6S filter assembly.

The technological process of assembling filter cigarettes consists of loading filters into the machine receiver, cutting filters into three double sections, feeding and cutting double length cigarettes, assembling and docking the kit, gluing a piece of rim paper and rolling the kit, cutting the double kit and combining two cigarette streams with one filter for further packaging.

During assembly and docking of the kit, double segments of filters on the feed drum are placed between two pre-divided cigarettes, and then they arrive on the drum with movable disks that tightly fit cigarettes with a double filter segment and align them with the center of the drum. A special scraper removes excess cigarettes and filters from the drum.

To glue the rim paper, rewind it from the working reel with a pulling roller and two rubber rollers. The diameter of the puller is determined by the diameter of the cigarettes. The wrapping paper from the spare bobbin is wound onto the accelerator roller. To simplify wrapping a cigarette with rim paper, it is twisted by a rod mounted on a rotating support, which when starting, after stopping and when connecting is removed from the paper.

Then the paper falls onto a rolling roller, which continuously or partially distributes glue on the paper. After the glue is dried by the preheating device, the rim paper is cut on the cutting drum and held on it by vacuum.

A set of two cigarettes with a double length of filter placed in the middle and a piece of rim paper are sent to the rolling drum, where rim paper is wrapped around the cigarettes and filter. The break-in mechanism is heated to finally dry the glue. The temperature is controlled by a programmable machine.

Next, the double cigarettes exiting the rolling drum are captured by the transfer drum and arranged in a row on the cutting drum, where the double cigarettes are cut into two finished filter cigarettes.

Thus, by selecting the composition of the components of the smoked material and introducing the ventilation zone into the filter, the proposed cigarette provides a reduction in the content of harmful substances in the smoke to the optimal level (nicotine - 0.4 mg, resin - 4 mg), and the processing of tobacco raw materials with flavoring agents in combination with sweet impregnation of rim paper allows you to neutralize unpleasant taste sensations when smoking tobacco.

Testing of four types of Sweet Dreams brand cigarettes with various aromatic additives received a positive assessment from consumers.
