Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a rod maker (rod-making machine) for tobacco processing, in which a tobacco flow is sifted in a chamber of the rod maker by a first air flow so that tobacco ribs are separated from the tobacco flow, in which the sifted tobacco flow is conveyed in the chamber by the first and/or a second air flow, in which a third and a fourth air flow are provided which convey air out of the chamber.
  • the invention further relates to a rod maker of the tobacco processing industry comprising a tobacco sifter, a suction rod conveyor and a device for conveying tobacco to the suction rod conveyor, in which the device for conveying tobacco defines a chamber, in which an air flow for sifting and for conveying can be introduced into the chamber.
  • the invention finally relates to an air conveyor system for a rod maker of the tobacco processing industry, including a circulation fan and a suction fan, in which air can be conveyed by the circulation fan into a chamber in which a tobacco flow can be sifted and conveyed in particular by the conveyed air, and where the suction fan is connected to the chamber, and air can be suctioned out of the chamber.
  • a corresponding method, a corresponding rod maker and a corresponding air conveyor system is known from EP 0 727 156 A1.
  • a corresponding rod maker is sold by the applicant under the name Protos 100.
  • an aspect of the invention is to disclose a method for operating a rod maker, a rod maker, and an air conveyor system for a rod maker of the tobacco processing industry by which it is possible to produce qualitatively uniform cigarette rods.
  • This aspect is attained with a method for operating a rod maker of the tobacco processing industry, in which a tobacco flow is sifted in a chamber of the rod maker by a first air flow so that tobacco ribs are separated from the tobacco flow, in which the sifted tobacco flow is conveyed in the chamber by the first and/or a second air flow, in which a third and a fourth air flow are provided which convey air out of the chamber, that is further developed in that the sum of the air throughput of the third and fourth air flow is essentially constant irrespective of the productive capacity of the rod maker.
  • the term productive capacity means in particular the speed of a rod formed from the sifted tobacco flow or a length of a cigarette rod per time unit.
  • the chamber is in particular a chamber in the rod maker which comprises a rolling chamber, a fluidized bed chamber, and a chamber in which a tobacco flow is sifted.
  • the tobacco sifter can be a pre-sifter.
  • the tobacco sifter can also comprise a post-sifter.
  • air throughput means the conveyed quantity of air per time unit or the conveyed air volume per time unit.
  • the suction belt of the suction rod conveyor which can also be a suction belt conveyor within the scope of the invention, seals up by the application of tobacco so that less air in the form of the third air flow is carried away out of the chamber via the suction rod conveyor.
  • the air throughput conveyed out of the chamber in the form of the fourth air flow should then be increased accordingly so that the air speed at the sifter, comprising a pre-sifter and optionally a post-sifter, does not change too much and preferably remains constant so that the rib discharge from the tobacco flow also remains constant. This effect occurs essentially because the pressure in the chamber remains essentially constant so that the air speed at the sifter does not have to be changed.
  • the sum of the air throughputs of the third and fourth air flow is kept constant automatically or when the rod maker is running.
  • the first, second and fourth air flows are usually part of the circulating air system that is driven by a circulation fan.
  • the circulation fan conveys a greater air quantity due to the smaller pressure difference between inlet and outlet, i.e., the air throughput increases. The air throughput suctioned out of the chamber is thus automatically increased.
  • the air distributor can also be an air pipe with a branch pipe. Furthermore, air can be released from the air distributor into the surroundings via another air pipe. Preferably, the air throughput released into the surroundings is changed. If a throttle flap is adjusted in a discharge pipe of the air distributor to change the released air throughput, a particularly cost-effective implementation of the method is possible.
  • the discharge pipe can also be a release pipe and is in particular a diffuser or ends in a diffuser.
  • the chamber comprises in particular the rolling chamber or fluidized bed chamber of the rod maker.
  • the air throughput of the fourth air flow conveyed out of the chamber is controlled or regulated.
  • the control or regulation can occur continuously so that the productive capacity of the rod maker can also be changed continuously without the quality of the cigarette rod produced being impaired.
  • the air pressure in the chamber is measured and preferably in the area of the sifter or in the rolling chamber. If the control occurs progressively, e.g., by predetermined positions of the throttle flap, a particularly cost-effective process control is possible.
  • the aspect is further attained through a rod maker of the tobacco processing industry comprising a tobacco sifter, a suction rod conveyor and a device for conveying tobacco to the suction rod conveyor, in which the device for conveying tobacco defines a chamber, in which an air flow can be introduced into the chamber for sifting and conveying, in which the air throughput removed from the chamber is essentially constant irrespective of the productive capacity of the rod maker.

  • a device for conveying tobacco includes an apparatus for conveying and/or guiding an air flow or several air flows by which tobacco can be moved. Furthermore, the device for conveying tobacco also comprises, e.g., drop ducts, a fluidized bed, and other devices in a rod maker of the tobacco processing industry.
  • an air distributor is arranged upstream of the chamber in the conveyor direction of the air flow, and the air distributor features an outlet into the surroundings.
  • a particularly precise conveying of air flow in the rod maker is thus possible. If the air throughput that can be released into the surroundings is variable, a particularly effective and simple opportunity is realized of achieving a uniform tobacco rod even with differing productive capacities of the rod maker.
  • a particularly cost-effective implementation is provided by providing a throttle flap in the outlet.
  • a pressure sensor is provided in the chamber.
