Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing filter cigarettes with multiple filters from different rod-shaped filter components, which are taken on separate conveyor paths separate stocks in multiple use length, divided into shorter lengths and inserted between two coaxially aligned tobacco rods.
  • the invention also relates to a device for producing filter cigarettes with multiple filters of different rod-shaped filter components, with separate supplies for filter rods multiple use length, which are assigned on separate conveyor paths conveyor drums for dividing, grouping and inserting the rod-shaped filter components between two coaxially aligned tobacco rods.
  • the invention has for its object to make the required for the processing and handling of different filter components operations flexible and gentle and to allow with the least possible effort on conveyor drums.
  • a preferred variant according to the invention consists in that first the pairs of individual filter plugs and then the double-length filter plugs be inserted between the tobacco rods, which are inserted according to a further proposal, the single-filter plug in a position adjacent to the tobacco rods layer and the double-length filter plug in a central gap between the single filter plug.
  • This is particularly advantageous for filter components which secrete particles during their handling, so that their first insertion between the tobacco rods into the subsequent sensitive area of the machine unit, in which the components are glued and wrapped, can be operated so that they are free from contamination and thus long-term operational.
  • the procedure according to the invention is further optimized according to a development in that the individual filter plugs are obtained from filter rods of twelve times the useful length and the double-length filter plugs are obtained from filter rods of six times the useful length.
  • the apparatus for carrying out the method described at the outset is that the one conveying path is formed by five conveyor drums for duplicate subdivision of filter rods taken from a separate supply of six times the length of use, the staggering, transaxial catenary and subdivision of the filter rods obtained double use length in single filter plug and for longitudinal axial spread and transverse axial distance enlargement for inserting the single filter plug between the tobacco rods, and that the other conveying path is formed by six conveyor drums, for double subdivision of filter rods taken from the other separate supply of twelve times the length of use, for staggering, transverse axial sequencing and subdivision of the resulting filter rods four times the length of use, as well as the staggering, cross-axial succession and Queraxialen distance increase for inserting the obtained Filter rods of double use length between the tobacco rods.
  • tobacco rods is further proposed that the through five conveying drums formed conveying path for the one filter component - related to the conveying direction of the tobacco rods along a conveyor belt formed by lined conveyor - upstream of a compilation drum with the conveying path of the tobacco rods is in operative connection, and that formed by six conveyor drums for the other filter component downstream a compilation drum is in operative connection with the conveying path of the tobacco rods.
  • filter rods of a first component for example Charcoal
  • a first component for example Charcoal
  • filter rods of a first component for example Charcoal
  • a staggering drum 7 For example Charcoal
  • the staggered filter rods 6 reach a sliding drum 9, on which they are transferred into a series formation 11 and again divided by a circular blade 12 into single-length filter stoppers 13.
  • a spreading drum 14 By means of a spreading drum 14, the filter plug 13 in a Sp Drillformation 16 offset, in each of which a larger frontal distance is made between two filter plug 13 of a pair, and then transferred in this formation on an acceleration drum 17, on which the filter plug 13 are brought into a Queraxial enlarged distance formation 18.
  • the longitudinal axial and queraxial spaced filter plug 13 are inserted directly on a compiler 19 according to insertion position 21 on both sides in the gap between two tobacco rods 22 which fed in double use length of a drum 23, cut centrally on a cutting drum 24 according to cutting position 26 and were pulled apart on a spreading drum 27 according to the spreading position 28 longitudinal axial.
  • filter rods 31 of a second component of twelve times the length of use are removed from a magazine 32, divided by two circular blade 33 in three filter plug 34 of four times the useful length, passed to a staggering drum 36 and transferred to this in a relay formation 37.
  • the staggered filter stoppers 34 reach a sliding drum 38, on which they are transferred into a series formation 39 and again divided by a circular blade 41 into filter stoppers 42 of twice the useful length.
  • the severed filter plugs 42 are again brought into a staggering formation 44 and displaced on a sliding drum 46 into a series formation 47 in which they pass back onto the staggering drum 43.
  • the cross-axially spaced filter plug 42 are inserted centrally on a compilation drum 49 in the gap between the two filter plug 13 according to the insertion position 50.
  • the tobacco-filter rod combination 13, 22, 42 of double the use length created in the insertion position 50 is subsequently centered in a known manner Separation of the double-length filter plug 42 assembled into individual filter cigarettes.
