Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for supplying a continuous web of crimped sheet material.
  • filters for smoking articles such as cigarettes.
  • These filters are typically made either from cellulose acetate tow or from a crimped sheet material, for example from paper.
  • the crimped paper is supplied to a filter making device in form of a continuous web.
  • the filter making device forms a filter rod from the continuous web of crimped paper supplied to the filter making device, and subsequently cuts the filter rod into discrete filters of a predetermined length.
  • An apparatus for supplying a continuous web of crimped paper to a filter making device is known.
  • the outlet of the crimping unit is arranged so as to directly feed the crimped paper to the filter making device.
  • a control unit controls the various units of the apparatus and its operation, allowing little flexibility for variation, e.g. with respect to manufacture of different types of filters.
  • the present invention provides an apparatus for supplying a continuous web of crimped sheet material to a rod forming device.
  • the apparatus comprises a winding unit for unwinding the sheet material from a support on which the sheet material is provided, such as a bobbin, and a crimping unit for crimping the sheet material.
  • the apparatus further comprises a cutting unit for cutting the continuous web of sheet material to a predetermined width, and a control unit for controlling the various units of the apparatus in response to sensor signals received from the respective units.
  • the cutting unit is arranged upstream of the crimping unit when viewed in the direction of transport of the sheet material.
  • This aspect is advantageous since it allows cutting of the sheet material to different widths, which may for example allow to control the density of a filter rod.
  • the cutting elements are displaceable in a direction perpendicular to the direction of transport of the sheet material.
  • the cutting elements are symmetrically displaceable relative to the center line of the path along which the sheet material is transported through the apparatus. This allows cutting the sheet material of the web to a desired width and offers many advantages.
  • the filters of regular filter cigarettes have a diameter of about 7.6 millimeters (mm), while the filters of so-called “slim cigarettes” have a diameter of about 7.1 millimeters (mm).
  • the bobbin carrying the web for the filters of regular filter cigarettes is replaced with a bobbin carrying a web having the width required for the filters of slim filter cigarettes.
  • This replacement of the bobbin is a comparatively laborious and time consuming process.
  • One advantage of the embodiment of the apparatus comprising the afore-described cutting unit is that such replacement of the bobbin is no longer required. Instead, the cutting unit can be adjusted to cut the sheet material for the production of filters for regular filter cigarettes to the width required for the filters of slim filter cigarettes as the web of sheet material passes the cutting unit.
  • a further advantage of the cutting unit is that it allows for an easy variation of the resistance to draw.
  • the amount of crimped sheet material contained in the filter is reduced whereby the resistance to draw is lowered given that the other parameters, for example an amount of add-on material dispensed as described further below, remain unchanged.
  • the sheet material can be cut to a width which is such that after the crimping and rod formation results in the desired resistance to draw. Accordingly, this allows the processing of different types of sheet materials, for example paper or plastic film, as well as of different widths of sheet materials.
  • the apparatus further comprises a dispensing unit for adding add-on material to the sheet material.
  • the dispensing unit is arranged downstream of the crimping unit when viewed in the direction of transport of the sheet material, and upstream of a rod forming device to which the crimped sheet material is supplied.
  • add-on material can be added to the crimped sheet material before the crimped sheet material is supplied to a rod forming device, for example to a filter making device.
  • the rod forming device may be comprised in the apparatus according to the invention.
  • Adding the add-on material after crimping is advantageous. For example, because the add-on material is added to the already crimped sheet material, the add-on material or at least a substantial amount thereof is retained in or on the crimped structures of the sheet material.
  • the crimped sheet material with the addon material is subsequently supplied to the rod forming device where a rod of filter material is formed which is then cut to size to form the individual filters having a predetermined length.
  • sheet material in this respect is meant to comprise any flat web of a material suitable for the production of filters for smoking articles, such as for example paper or plastic films.
  • the sheet material can be either a single-layer sheet material or can be a multi-layer sheet material.
  • additive material includes, for example, liquid, gel-like or pasty materials, as well as particulate materials comprising, for example, discrete particles, such as bulk material, powder, granules or the like, and objects suitable for inclusion into a cigarette filter, such as capsules or beads and elongate material, as for example, thread.
  • the add-on material is a particulate material.
  • add-on material to the crimped sheet material may generally serve various purposes. For example, it may serve the purpose of adding to the smoke drawn in by a consumer through the filter.
  • the add-on material may comprise menthol, tobacco or other desired flavors.
  • the add-on material may serve to remove or alter at least part of the gaseous or solid constituents of the smoke.
  • the added particulate material may comprise activated carbon granules.
  • the resistance to draw of the final filter can be varied by adding the add-on material. For example, by variation of the amount of add-on material, for example particulate material, added to the sheet material per unit of sheet material the resistance to draw can be lowered or raised.
  • the resistance to draw can also be varied by other capabilities of the apparatus, thus increasing flexibility of the apparatus according to the invention. Due to the apparatus being capable of processing different types of sheet material the resistance to draw can be varied through selection of the type of sheet material processed. As an example, it is possible to select paper or plastic film. Also, single layer sheet materials or multi-layer sheet materials can be selected. Still further, due to the apparatus being capable of processing sheet materials having different thicknesses the resistance to draw can be varied through selection of the thickness of the sheet material processed by the apparatus. Yet further, due to the apparatus being capable of processing sheet materials having different widths the resistance to draw can be varied through selection of the width of the sheet material processed by the apparatus. The width of the sheet material is related to the density of the crimped sheet material in the filter after rod formation.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is very flexible and allows the supply of crimped sheet material which allows the production of filters of a large variety of types and properties.
  • an apparatus according to the invention is particularly advantageous as the cost for manufacture filters comprising crimped sheet material is typically lower than the cost for manufacture of filters comprising cellulose acetate tow.
  • changing the resistance to draw of a filter is done by adapting the cut width of the sheet material.
  • Changing the resistance to draw of a filter may comprise the step of measuring a filter parameter and generating a signal indicative of the measured filter parameter.
  • the cut width of the sheet material may then be adapted in response to the signal.
  • a filter parameter to be measured for the adaption of the cut width of the sheet material comprises at least one of, but is not limited to: resistance to draw, rod firmness, weight, transparency, density and moisture content.
  • the crimping unit comprises a first pair of crimping rollers for engaging and crimping the continuous web of sheet material being transported between them.
  • the crimping rollers have a surface which is provided with means adapted to crimp the sheet material in the direction of transport of the sheet material.
  • the crimping rollers have a surface which is provided with means adapted to crimp the sheet material in the longitudinal direction of the sheet material.
  • the means adapted to crimp the sheet material in the direction of transport of the sheet material may comprise a structure on the surface of the rollers.
  • a structure may comprise for example crests and troughs running circumferentially about the axis of rotation of the rollers.
  • the sheet material is crimped by transferring the structure to the sheet material as it passes between the rollers.
  • the grooved structure transferred to the sheet material is particularly suitable to receive the add-on material, in particular in case the add-on material is a particulate material, or comprises capsules or beads. Crimping the sheet material in the longitudinal direction also reduces the stability of the sheet material in a transverse direction.
  • the subsequent formation of the rod compression of the sheet material into a cylindrical form
  • the individual filters is facilitated.
  • the crimping unit comprises a second pair of crimping rollers for engaging and crimping the continuous web of sheet material being transported between them.
  • the crimping rollers of the second pair of crimping rollers have a surface which is provided with means adapted to crimp the sheet material in a direction transverse to the direction of transport of the sheet material.
  • the term "transverse to the direction of transport of the sheet material" is to be understood to include directions other than perpendicular to the direction of transport of the sheet material.
  • the crimping rollers have a surface which is provided with means adapted to crimp the sheet material in a direction perpendicular to the direction of transport.
  • the means adapted to crimp the sheet material in the direction transverse to the direction of transport of the sheet material may comprise a structure on the surface of the rollers.
  • This structure may comprise crests and troughs running in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the rollers.
  • This structure is preferably provided on the entire surface of the rollers, so that the sheet material is crimped by transferring the structure of the rollers to the sheet material as it passes between the rollers.
  • the crimping unit comprises both a first pair of crimping rollers having a surface being provided with means adapted to crimp the sheet material in a longitudinal direction relative to the direction of transport of the sheet material, and a second pair of crimping rollers having a surface being provided with means adapted to crimp the sheet material in a direction transverse to the direction of transport of the sheet material.
  • This embodiment allows both the crimping of the sheet material in the longitudinal direction as well as in the transverse direction, resulting in a specific pattern being transferred to the sheet material as the sheet material passes between the first and second pairs of rollers.
  • the structure on the surface of the respective pair of rollers can be embodied as described above.
  • the add-on material added to the crimped sheet material by the dispensing unit is preferably dispensed into the structure created in the crimped sheet material, for example into the longitudinally running troughs, into the transversely running troughs, or into the depressions of the pattern generated by the first and second pairs of rollers.
  • the add-on material is a particulate material. The particulate material dispensed into these troughs or depressions is retained therein as the crimped sheet material is subsequently fed into the rod forming device where the crimped sheet material is then compressed to form a rod.
  • the winding unit may comprise a motor for driving the bobbin on which the sheet material is provided, and a brake.
  • the control unit controls the motor and the brake in a manner such as to prevent the continuous web of sheet material from rupturing.
  • the sheet material is pulled through the apparatus by the crimping rollers or by additional drive rollers of the crimping unit.
  • the motor of the winding unit assists in the unwinding of the sheet material from the bobbin which is particularly advantageous in case the sheet material is fragile. A fragile sheet material is prone to rupturing upon application of too high a pulling force by the rollers pulling the sheet material through the apparatus. The occurrence of an excessively high pulling force can thus be avoided.
  • the control unit receives a signal indicative of the actual tension of the sheet material.
  • This signal can be processed and the motor of the winding unit can be controlled in response.
  • the brake of the winding unit can be controlled by the control unit. As the bobbin is close to getting empty, that is, at the time there is only little sheet material left on the bobbin, rotation of the bobbin must be stopped. The brake serves to achieve a smooth braking profile in order to avoid rupturing of the sheet material during this phase.
  • the apparatus further comprises a tensioning unit comprising a controlled actuator for applying and maintaining a predetermined tension to the sheet material during the transport of the sheet material through the apparatus.
  • a tensioning unit comprising a controlled actuator is advantageous in that it allows active control of the tension applied to the sheet material.
  • known prior art tensioning units comprise a passive tensioning element having a fixed mass or weight through which tension is applied to the sheet material, however, this tension cannot be actively controlled.
  • the controlled actuator in accordance with this aspect of the invention may be a controlled pneumatic actuator, a controlled hydraulic actuator, a controlled electric actuator or may be any suitable other type of controlled actuator, in order to actively control the tension applied to the sheet material.
  • the apparatus further comprises a softening unit which is arranged upstream of the crimping unit.
  • the softening unit serves to facilitate the crimping operation by softening the sheet material to be crimped.
  • the softening unit may comprise a heat source for raising the temperature of the sheet material to be crimped.
  • a softening unit comprising a heat source is particularly advantageous for plastic sheet material. An increase in temperature of the plastic sheet material softens the sheet material and may thus facilitate crimping of the sheet material. Any conventional heat source can be used for that purpose, such as for example an infrared radiator.
  • the softening unit may comprise a moisture control means which is capable of raising or lowering the moisture content of the sheet material.
  • the moisture control means may comprise a nozzle arrangement for moisturizing the paper sheet material to be crimped. Should the moisture content be too high, the heat source may be activated to lower the moisture content of the paper sheet material.

  • the sheet material 2 may be paper or a suitable plastics film.
  • the sheet material 2 is stored as a reel 20 on a bobbin 21 from which the sheet material 2 can be unwound with the aid of a winding unit 3.
  • Winding unit 3 comprises a motor 30 and a brake 31 capable of acting on the bobbin 21 so as to apply an additional driving or braking force to the bobbin 21 . This is described in more detail below.
  • a sensor 32 is provided in order to detect the distance between the sensor 32 and the outermost layer of the reel 20 so as to determine whether there is sufficient sheet material left on the bobbin 21 to continue operation.
  • the sheet material 2 is transported through the apparatus in the form of a web.
  • a number of transport rollers 1 1 are provided along the path of the web of sheet material 2 through the apparatus. These transport rollers 1 1 serve to clamp or guide the web of sheet material 2 on its path through the apparatus.
  • the apparatus further comprises a tensioning unit 4 for applying and maintaining a predetermined tension to the web of sheet material 2 as it is transported through the apparatus.
  • tensioning unit 4 comprises a controlled actuator 40 which can be actively controlled in order to always maintain the desired predetermined tension to the web of sheet material 2 even if the conditions during operation change.
