Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement for producing filter cigarettes.
  • a rod formation device for forming a tobacco rod and a filter tipping device for applying filter plugs to cut tobacco rods cut from the tobacco rod are provided.
  • cut tobacco is prepared in a distributor and processed to form at least one tobacco rod and transferred to a rod unit, by which the at least one tobacco rod is wrapped with paper and cut into double-length cut tobacco rods. Subsequently, the double-length cut tobacco rods are transferred from the rod unit to a filter tipper and cut into cut tobacco rods of single length. In this way, double-length filter rods are applied to the cut tobacco rods, wrapped by a tipping paper and cut into filter cigarettes of single unit length.
  • filter rods of multiple unit length which are cut into double-length filter plugs, are sent by a filter rod sender to a receiving station in the filter tipping machine so that filter rods can be removed from a filter rod magazine and cut into filter plugs.
  • multi-segment filters that are composed of different segments or filter pieces, e.g., of different materials. These materials are, e.g., cellulose acetate, paper, web, granulate, sifted elements, hollow cylinders or hollow chambers and capsules and the like.
  • Such multi-segment filters which also cover the term “multiple filter” within the scope of this invention, after the formation of groups of filter segments, e.g., in a continuous process are wrapped with wrapping material, such as, e.g., paper, and then divided into filter rods of two-fold, four-fold or six-fold length to be further processed.
  • a rod formation device for filter rods is known from DE-OS 24 52 749 in which in a group formation device operating transversely groups of filter segments or groups of filter rods are formed and then transferred to the rod formation device such that the groups of filter rods are wrapped with wrapping material in a longitudinally axial manner.
  • the group formation device is here a device that is to be completely replaced in the event of a change of the filter segments or of the sequence of the filter segments.
  • the machine KDF-2E of the instant assignee is a filter rod formation device, and the instant assignee's machine GC E is a typical group formation device. Both devices are known in the trade and are marketed together as machines of the MULFI type.
  • a device for wrapping groups of filter segments with a wrapping material to produce multi-segment filters of the tobacco-processing industry and a multi-segment filter production device are known from International Publication No. WO 03/037113.
  • German Patent Application No. DE-T-695 28 549 discloses a separating device for the production of filters for cigarettes in which a filter plug feed device has two magazines from which multiple-length filter rods are removed and cut so that after multiple cutting, staggering and pushing processes at the same time on the same conveyor drum double-length dual filters are formed out of the cut filter rods. These dual filters are subsequently inserted between pairs of cut tobacco rods spaced apart in a longitudinally axial manner.
  • a method and a device for producing filter cigarettes with dual filters are known from European Patent Application No. EP-A-1 016 350.
  • Filter components of different unit length are hereby inserted one after the other between the cut tobacco rods.
  • the filter rods are respectively removed from two magazines and cut into filter components, whereby the conveyor paths of the filter components from the two magazines are embodied separately from one another.
  • the present invention simplifies the production of filter cigarettes, such that it is possible to produce and process filter cigarettes with multi-segment filters.
  • the present invention provides an arrangement for producing filter cigarettes that includes a rod formation device for forming a tobacco rod, a filter tipping machine for applying filter plugs to cut tobacco rods cut from the tobacco rod, and a device for assembling multi-segment filter plugs from at least three filter segment pieces.
  • a multi-segment filter means in particular a filter of at least three different filter segment pieces.
  • the filter segment pieces comprise different materials or are produced in a different way.
  • the filter segment pieces are conveyed to a production flow for the multi-segment filter.
  • the invention utilizes the concept of coupling a filter segment group assembly device, as is known, e.g., from International Publication No. WO 03/037113, directly to a filter tipping machine.
  • filter segment pieces are assembled to form a multi-segment filter plug, in particular of double unit length, so that the filter plug with or without wrapping is applied to a cut tobacco rod. A higher processing speed in the filter tipping machine is thus achieved.
  • a mass flow with double-length cut tobacco rods and a mass flow with assembled, preferably double-length, multi-segment filter plugs are conveyed to the filter tipping machine and processed at this machine. It is not necessary to wrap the assembled multi-segment filter plugs with a web, such that not wrapped multi-segment filter plugs, comprising several filter segment pieces, can also applied to the cut tobacco rods. Not until a further step are the multi-segment filter plugs and the cut tobacco rods wrapped with a connecting sheet or a tipping paper web and, after a severing cut through the double-length filter plug, cut into filter cigarettes.
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible to produce multi-segment filter plugs with more than two filter segment pieces.
  • the filter segment pieces are hereby fed individually to a production flow for the multi-segment filter plug.
  • a production flow of a multi-segment filter plug is understood to be the mass flow along which the manufacture of a multi-segment filter plug is produced by the addition of further individual filter segment pieces.
  • a complete, in particular double-length, preferably symmetrically constructed multi-segment filter plug is formed, which is joined to cut tobacco rods and finished to form individual filter cigarettes in following processing steps.
  • the manufacturing of a multi-segment filter is performed in a spatially separated manner from other processing at a filter tipping device.
  • the device for assembling a multi-segment filter and the filter tipping device can be arranged in a modular and variable manner whereby the devices are easily accessible for the operators.
  • the device for assembling multi-segment filter plugs has at least one tipping device for the multi-segment filter plugs so that the multi-segment filter plugs are fed to the filter tipping machine as wrapped filter plugs.
  • the device for assembling multi-segment filter plugs has at least one test element and/or one processing element for the multi-segment filter plugs.
  • individual filter segment pieces are processed or perforated by a laser, so that the perforation of the filter piece is tested at a test device.
  • it helps increase quality or quality control, if another processing device is provided following the test device so that, e.g., an inadequately perforated filter segment piece is processed again.
  • the device for assembling multi-segment filter plugs can be divided into independent functional units.
  • a high degree of variability in multi-segment filter production is given if the assembly device can be subdivided into a plurality of independent functional units.
  • the independent functional units need only be rearranged and adapted or only a few modules or functional units have to be added.
  • the term “functional unit” also includes the term “module.”
  • a particularly space-saving device can be realized if one functional unit is provided for respectively one filter segment piece.
  • a filter segment group assembly device with individual functional units for filter segment pieces is known from International Publication No. WO 03/037113, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
