Die Erfindung betrifft eine Maschine zur Herstellung von Zigarettenpackungen, wobei jede Packung eine im Umhüllungsmaterial eingehüllte Zigarettengruppe aufweist, die Maschine eine Anzahl an Förderorganen aufweist und jedes Förderorgan mehrere Förderelemente aufweist, die in Kontakt mit der Zigarettengruppe und/oder dem Umhüllungsmaterial gebracht werden und mit jeweils einem Förderelement eines angrenzenden Förderorgans zusammenwirken.The invention relates to a machine for the production of cigarette packs, each pack having a wrapped in wrapping material cigarette group, the machine has a number of conveying members and each conveying member comprises a plurality of conveying elements, which are brought into contact with the cigarette group and / or the wrapping material and with each a conveying element of an adjacent conveying member cooperate.
Eine derartige Maschine zur Herstellung von Zigarettenpackungen ist aus dem Dokument EP-A-1 142 788 bekannt. Bei dieser Maschine ist die Anzahl der Taschen bzw. Faltorgane pro Transportrad bzw. -band so abgestimmt, dass stets eine feste Zuordnung der Taschen eines Transportrades mit den Taschen eines weiteren Transportrades stets zusammenarbeitet. Beispielsweise wird eine Zigarettengruppe von einer Tasche 1 des Transportrades I ausschließlich immer an eine Tasche 1 oder 7 des Transportrades II übergeben.Such a machine for the production of cigarette packs is known from the document EP-A-1 142 788. In this machine, the number of pockets or folding organs per transport wheel or belt is tuned so that always a fixed assignment of the pockets of a transport wheel with the pockets of another transport wheel always works together. For example, a group of cigarettes is always transferred from a pocket 1 of the transport wheel I always to a pocket 1 or 7 of the transport wheel II.
Weiterhin ist in US-A-5 678 385 eine Verpackungsmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 für die Fertigung von Zigarettenpackungen beschrieben, die mehrere Verpackungseinheiten mit Faltorganen zum Falten von Zuschnitten, zur Bildung von Packungen sowie Aggregate für die Bevorratung und Handhabung von Verpackungsmaterial aufweist. Die Verpackungseinheiten sind modulartig an der Verpackungsmaschine in einer Reihe aufeinander folgend und nebeneinander angeordnet. Um einen höheren Ausstoß an verpackten Zigarettenpackungen zu erhalten, wird ein weiteres Modul an der Maschine ergänzt, so dass gleichzeitig und zwangsläufig die Fördergeschwindigkeit des Transportbandes sowie die Bildung von zu verpackenden Zigarettengruppen erhöht werden muss.Furthermore, in US-A-5 678 385 a packaging machine according to the preamble of claim 1 for the manufacture of cigarette packs is described which comprises a plurality of packaging units with folding members for folding blanks, for forming packages and aggregates for the storage and handling of packaging material. The packaging units are modularly arranged on the packaging machine in a row consecutively and next to one another. In order to obtain a higher output of packaged cigarette packs, a further module is added to the machine, so that simultaneously and inevitably the conveying speed of the conveyor belt and the formation of packaged cigarette groups must be increased.
Darüber hinaus ist in EP-A-0 268 917 eine Verpackungsmaschine für Zigarettenpackungen offenbart, die zwei selbständig arbeitende Fertigungsbahnen mit Falt- und Förderaggregaten aufweist. Die Aggregate der beiden Fertigungsbahnen sind gesondert und damit unabhängig voneinander angetrieben, so dass bei Störungen oder Betriebsunterbrechungen im Bereich einer Fertigungsbahn die andere weiterarbeiten kann.In addition, EP-A-0 268 917 discloses a packaging machine for cigarette packs which has two independently operating production lines with folding and conveying units. The aggregates of the two production lines are separately and thus driven independently of each other, so that in case of faults or service interruptions in the field of a production line, the other can continue working.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, bei einer Maschine zur Herstellung von Zigarettenpackungen die Herstellung von Zigarettenpackungen flexibler zu gestalten, wobei der bauliche Aufwand möglichst gering und leicht durchführbar sein soll.Based on this prior art, it is an object of the present invention to make the production of cigarette packs in a machine for the production of cigarette packs more flexible, the structural complexity should be as low and easy to carry out.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Maschine zur Herstellung von Zigarettenpackungen, wobei jede Packung eine im Umhüllungsmaterial eingehüllte Zigarettengruppe aufweist, die Maschine eine Anzahl an Förderorganen aufweist und jedes Förderorgan mehrere Förderelemente aufweist, die in Kontakt mit der Zigarettengruppe und/oder dem Umhüllungsmaterial gebracht werden und mit jeweils einem Förderelement eines angrenzenden Förderorgan zusammenwirken, die dadurch weitergebildet wird, dass die Förderelemente jedes Förderorgans in ihrer Anzahl reduzierbar oder erhöhbar sind, wodurch bei gleicher Maschinengeschwindigkeit die Produktionsleistung der Maschine anpassbar ist.This object is achieved by a machine for the production of cigarette packs, each pack having a wrapped in wrapping material cigarette group, the machine has a number of conveying members and each conveying member has a plurality of conveying elements, which are in contact with the cigarette group and / or the wrapping material and cooperate with a respective conveying element of an adjacent conveying member, which is further developed in that the conveying elements of each conveying member are reducible or can be increased in number, whereby at the same machine speed, the production capacity of the machine is adaptable.
Die Erfindung beruht auf dem Gedanken, dass die Fördergeschwindigkeit der Förderorgane konstant bleibt und gleichzeitig die Produktionsleistung variabel gestaltbar ist. Unter dem Begriff "Produktionsleistung" wird insbesondere die Leistung der Maschine verstanden, eine Anzahl an fertigen Zigarettenpackungen in einer bestimmten Zeiteinheit herzustellen. Hierbei werden die Zigaretten an einer Blockbildungsstation zu einer Zigarettengruppe gebildet, die nachfolgend mit Umhüllungsmaterial umwickelt wird und an einen Stauförderer abgegeben wird. Ferner wird im vorliegendem Zusammenhang unter dem Begriff "Maschinengeschwindigkeit" die Geschwindigkeit verstanden, mit der einerseits die Förderorgane angetrieben werden und andererseits die Geschwindigkeit, mit der eine gebildete Zigarettengruppe von der Blockbildungsstation zur Abgabestation bzw. dem Stauförderer transportiert wird. Durch die Antriebsgeschwindigkeit der Förderorgane ist auch die Fördergeschwindigkeit der hergestellten Zigarettengruppen bestimmt, da die Förderorgane synchron zueinander abgestimmt bzw. angetrieben werden.The invention is based on the idea that the conveying speed of the conveying elements remains constant and at the same time the production capacity can be designed variably. The term "production performance" is understood in particular to mean the performance of the machine to produce a number of finished cigarette packs in a certain time unit. Here, the cigarettes are formed at a blocking station to a cigarette group, which is subsequently wrapped with wrapping material and delivered to a accumulation conveyor. Furthermore, in the present context, the term "machine speed" is understood to mean the speed with which the conveying members are driven on the one hand, and the speed with which a group of cigarettes is transported from the blocking station to the discharge station or the accumulation conveyor, on the other hand. By the drive speed of the conveying members and the conveying speed of the cigarette groups produced is determined because the conveying members are synchronized or driven synchronously.
Durch die festgelegte Fördergeschwindigkeit der Zigarettengruppen und die Anzahl der Förderorgane bzw. Faltvorrichtungen usw. ist die Produktionsleistung der Maschine festgelegt. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, die Produktionsleistung eines zu verpackenden Zigarettenformates flexibler zu gestalten bzw. zu variieren, ohne dass die Geschwindigkeit der Antriebsorgane verändert wird. Insofern ist die Produktionsleistung bezogen auf die Produktionsleistung vor der Anpassung, bzw. auf die gleich bleibende Fördergeschwindigkeit der Organe oder Zigarettengruppen skalierbar bzw. variabel.By the set conveying speed of the groups of cigarettes and the number of conveyors or folding devices, etc., the production efficiency of the machine is determined. According to the invention, it is provided to make the production output of a cigarette format to be packaged more flexible or to vary without the speed of the drive elements is changed. In this respect, the production output is scalable or variable in relation to the production output before the adaptation or to the constant conveying speed of the organs or cigarette groups.
Bei der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Maschine zur Herstellung von Zigarettenpackungen ist es zur Anpassung der Produktionsleistung lediglich möglich, die Maschinengeschwindigkeit zu erhöhen bzw. abzusenken, da die Anzahl der Förderelemente auf den Förderorganen fest vorgegeben ist. Hierbei ist besonders zu beachten, dass für Teilprozesse bei der Herstellung der Zigarettenpackungen bestimmte Zeiten einzuhalten sind. Beispielsweise sind bei der Beleimung von Verpackungszuschnitten die Abbindezeiten für die Klebstoffe genau zu berücksichtigen, da ansonsten die Zuschnitte nicht miteinander verkleben, z.B. wenn der Klebstoff bei einer zu geringen Maschinengeschwindigkeit zu schnell aushärtet. Dies führt zu starken Einschränkungen bei einer Maschine, deren Maschinengeschwindigkeit variiert wird.In the known from the prior art machine for the production of cigarette packs, it is only possible to adjust the production capacity to increase or decrease the machine speed, since the number of conveying elements is fixed on the conveying members. It should be noted in particular that for sub-processes in the production of cigarette packs certain times are observed. For example, during the gluing of packaging blanks, the setting times for the glues have to be considered exactly, since otherwise the blanks do not stick together, e.g. if the adhesive cures too quickly at too low a machine speed. This leads to severe limitations in a machine whose machine speed is varied.
Insbesondere entspricht das Verhältnis der angepassten Produktionsleistung zu der Produktionsleistung vor der Anpassung dem Verhältnis natürlicher ganzer Zahlen, so dass die jeweils miteinander zusammenwirkenden Elemente der Förder- bzw. Faltorgane ohne Änderung der Antriebsgeschwindigkeit zusammenwirken. Dadurch ist die Produktionsleistung stufenweise bzw. abgestaffelt skalierbar, wobei die Produktionsleistung nach der Anpassung der Maschine entsprechend erniedrigt oder erhöht ist.In particular, the ratio of the adjusted production output to the production output prior to the adjustment corresponds to the ratio of natural integers so that the cooperating elements of the conveyor or folding members cooperate without changing the drive speed. As a result, the production output is scalable in stages or staggered, with the production output being correspondingly reduced or increased after the adaptation of the machine.
Ferner wird gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, dass die Maschine derart ausgebildet ist, dass mehrere Formate verarbeitbar sind. Durch Ausnutzung der an der Maschine vorgesehenen Organe und deren entsprechende Zuordnung zu weiteren Elementen bzw. Organen der Maschine ist es möglich, dass mehrere verschiedene Zigarettenformate auf derselben Maschine verpackt werden.Furthermore, it is proposed according to an advantageous development of the invention that the machine is designed such that a plurality of formats can be processed. By making use of the organs provided on the machine and their corresponding assignment to other elements or organs of the machine, it is possible that several different cigarette formats are packaged on the same machine.
Dazu ist vorgesehen, dass die Maschine bezüglich ihrer Förderorgane und/oder Förderelemente an die Anzahl der zu verarbeitenden Formate anpassbar ist.For this purpose, it is provided that the machine with respect to its conveying members and / or conveying elements to the number of formats to be processed is customizable.
Vorteilhafterweise sind die Förderorgane und/oder die Förderelemente umrüstbar oder austauschbar. Die Förderorgane können derart umrüstbar sein, dass die Förderelemente auf einem Förderorgan in ihrer Anzahl reduziert oder erhöht werden, so dass die Produktionsleistung je nach Anforderung variierbar ist. Die Umrüstung kann beispielsweise durch ein manuelles Einsetzen der Förderelemente erfolgen. Alternativ werden die Förderorgane automatisch bspw. auf Knopfdruck angepasst.Advantageously, the conveying elements and / or the conveying elements can be converted or exchanged. The conveying members may be convertible such that the conveying elements are reduced or increased in number on a conveying member, so that the production capacity can be varied as required. The conversion can be done for example by a manual insertion of the conveying elements. Alternatively, the conveying elements are automatically adjusted, for example, at the push of a button.
Insbesondere sind die Förderelemente aktivierbar oder deaktivierbar, so dass die bereits vorhandenen Förderelemente abgeschaltet oder zugeschaltet werden, ohne dass ein manueller Einbau bzw. Ausbau der Förderelemente an den Förderorganen bei einer Änderung der Produktionsleistung erfolgen muss. Die Aktivierung bzw. Deaktivierung der Förderelemente kann automatisch durch einen Steuerbefehl, z.B. durch Betätigung eines Knopfes, erfolgen.In particular, the conveyor elements can be activated or deactivated, so that the already existing conveyor elements are switched off or switched on, without a manual installation or removal of the conveyor elements must be made to the conveyor members in a change in production capacity. The activation or deactivation of the conveying elements can be performed automatically by a control command, e.g. by pressing a button, done.
Um die Förderelemente einfach auszutauschen bzw. deren Förderorgane an die jeweiligen Produktionsbedingungen durch einen manuellen Einbau oder Ausbau anzupassen, sind die Förderelemente auf den Förderorganen lösbar angeordnet.In order to easily exchange the conveying elements or to adapt their conveying members to the respective production conditions by means of manual installation or removal, the conveying elements are detachably arranged on the conveying members.
Darüber hinaus ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Förderorgane lösbar an der Maschine angeordnet sind, so dass durch den Austausch eines kompletten Förderrades schnell eine Anpassung vorgenommen werden kann.Moreover, it is advantageous if the conveying elements are detachably arranged on the machine, so that by replacing a complete conveyor wheel quickly an adjustment can be made.
In einer Weiterbildung ist ferner vorgesehen, dass dieselben Förderorgane und/oder dieselben Förderelemente und/oder dieselben Faltorgane jeweils einem Format zugeordnet sind, so dass die vorgesehene Korrespondenz bzw. gegenseitige Zuordnung der synchron angetriebenen Organe erhalten bleibt.In a further development it is further provided that the same conveying members and / or the same conveying elements and / or the same folding members are each assigned a format, so that the intended correspondence or mutual assignment of the synchronously driven organs is maintained.
Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass für wenigstens zwei unterschiedliche Formate an den Förderorganen jeweils miteinander korrespondierende Förderelemente für jedes Format vorgesehen sind. Dadurch ist die Maschine in der Lage, mehrere Formate zu verarbeiten, ohne dass ein Austausch von Förderelementen bzw. Förderorganen erforderlich ist. Hierbei werden für jedes Zigarettenformat Förderelemente an den Förderorganen vorgesehen, die ausschließlich nur dieses Zigarettenformat fördern, während die anderen Förderelemente eines zweiten Formates nicht dafür vorgesehen sind. Dadurch wird die Herstellung von Zigarettenpackungen an einer derartigen Maschine ebenfalls flexibel gestaltet.It is also proposed that for each format at least two different formats are provided on the conveyor members each corresponding conveying elements. As a result, the machine is able to process several formats without the need to replace conveyor elements or conveyor elements. Here are provided for each cigarette format conveying elements on the conveying members, which only promote only this cigarette format, while the other conveying elements of a second format are not intended. As a result, the production of cigarette packs on such a machine is also made flexible.
Dazu ist für den laufenden Betrieb vorgesehen, dass nur ein Format an der Maschine verarbeitbar ist, wodurch die Förderelemente der anderen Formate deaktiviert sind.For this purpose, it is provided for the ongoing operation that only one format can be processed on the machine, as a result of which the conveying elements of the other formats are deactivated.
Hierzu ist es von Vorteil, dass bei einem Formatwechsel die korrespondierenden Förderelemente des verarbeiteten Formats deaktivierbar sind und die korrespondierenden Förderelemente des zu verarbeitenden Formats aktivierbar sind.For this purpose, it is advantageous that during a format change, the corresponding conveying elements of the processed format can be deactivated and the corresponding conveying elements of the format to be processed can be activated.
In einer alternativen Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, dass mehrere Formate gleichzeitig an der Maschine verarbeitbar sind.In an alternative development of the invention, it is proposed that several formats can be processed simultaneously on the machine.
Überdies sind die Förderelemente mit Auslässen für die Gruppen oder mit Taschen zur Förderung der Gruppen und/oder der Packungen oder mit Förderköpfen zur Förderung des Umhüllungsmaterials und mit Faltvorrichtungen zum Falten des Umhüllungsmaterials versehen.Moreover, the conveying elements are provided with outlets for the groups or with pockets for conveying the groups and / or the packs or with conveying heads for conveying the wrapping material and with folding devices for folding the wrapping material.

Elemente mit den selben Bezugsziffern bezeichnet, so dass auf eine erneute Vorstellung verzichtet wird und lediglich die Abweichungen der in diesen Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele gegenüber dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel erläutert werden.In the following figures, the same or similar parts or elements are designated by the same reference numerals, so that dispenses with a new idea and only the deviations of the embodiments shown in these figures with respect to the first embodiment will be explained.
In Fig. 1 ist schematisch eine Maschine 10 zur Herstellung von Zigarettenpackungen mit ihren wesentlichen Bestandteilen dargestellt. Die wiedergegebene Packmaschine 10 dient zum Verpacken von Verpackungsguteinheiten in Form von Zigarettengruppen 17, die der Maschine 10 mittels eines Transportrades 18 zugeführt werden, dessen einzelne Aufnahmetaschen 16 aus einem mit einzelnen Zigaretten befüllten Stauschacht 15 mit den Zigarettenblöcken 17 gefüllt werden.In Fig. 1, a
Zur Herstellung von quaderförmigen Weichpackungen werden die Zigarettengruppen 17 in mehrere Umhüllungskomponenten während ihres Transportes von der Blockbildestation mit dem Stauschacht 15 zu einem Stauförderer 60 eingeschlagen.For the production of parallelepipedic soft packs, the
Die Umhüllungskomponenten bestehen in der Regel aus Alufolie und einem Papierblankett, wobei die Alufolie eine Innenumhüllung und das Papierblankett eine Außenumhüllung bilden. Die zur Herstellung der Zigarettenpackungen bzw. deren Innen- und Außenumhüllungen erforderlichen Faltungen z. B. Schlauchfaltungen, Kopffaltungen sowie Bodenfaltungen werden durch die nachstehend beschriebenen Elemente der Packmaschine 10 ausgeführt.The wrapping components are usually made of aluminum foil and a paper blanket, the aluminum foil forming an inner wrapper and the paper blanket forming an outer wrapper. The for the production the cigarette packs or their inner and outer sheaths required folds z. B. tube folds, head folds and bottom folds are performed by the elements of the packing
Die Zigarettengruppen 17 in den Aufnahmetaschen 16 werden von dem Transportrad 18 an ein weiteres Transportrad 20 übergeben. In einer Alternative wird an Stelle des Transportrades 18 ein so genanntes Kammernband eingesetzt. Eine von dem Transportrad 18 übergebene Zigarettengruppe 17 wird von einem Aufnahmekopf 21 des Transportrades 20 übernommen. Der Aufnahmekopf 21 wird vor der Aufnahme der Zigarettengruppe 17 mittels einer Kragenzufuhreinheit 22 mit einem Deckel 24 versehen. Ein Deckel 24 wird hierfür mittels eines Kopfelementes 23 der Kragenzufuhreinheit 22 in einen leeren Aufnahmekopf 21 übergeben.The
Nach der Aufnahme einer Zigarettengruppe 17 erfolgen Faltungen an Faltorganen 25 und 26, die jeweils mit Förderelementen 125 bzw. 126 ausgestattet sind. Nach den Faltvorgängen wird die Zigarettengruppe 17 an einen Aufnahmekopf 31 eines nachfolgend angeordneten Transportrades 30 übergeben. Nach der Übergabe wird einer Couponzuführeinheit 35 mittels eines Kopfelementes 36 ein Coupon der Zigarettengruppe 17 in einem Aufnahmekopf 31 zugeführt. Anschließend wird die Zigarettengruppe 17 zu einem weiteren Transportrad 40 befördert.After receiving a group of
Das Transportrad 40 verfügt über Aufnahmeköpfe 41, denen vor der Übergabe der Zigarettengruppe 17 ein Papierblankett 45 zugeführt wird. Anschließend erfolgt die Herstellung einer fertigen Zigarettenpackung auf dem Transportrad 40, so dass nachfolgend die hergestellte Zigarettenpackung 17 an ein Taschenrad 50 übergeben wird, das die fertig hergestellten Zigarettenpackungen 51 an einen Stauförderer 60 übergibt. Der Stauförderer 60 dient zum Sammeln und Überführen der hergestellten Zigarettenpackungen zu einer nicht weiter dargestellten Zellophaniermaschiene zwecks Einhüllung in eine Klarsichtfolie.The
Gemäß der Erfindung werden die Transporträder 18, 20, 30, 40, 50 synchron betrieben, so dass die regelmäßig angetriebenen Elemente 16, 21, 31, 41, 51 auf den Transporträdern 18, 20, 30, 40, 50 gleichmäßig miteinander zusammenwirken, so dass kontinuierlich Zigarettenpackungen hergestellt werden. Darüber hinaus sind weitere Arbeitsorgane an den Transporträdern vorgesehen zur Zufuhr von Umhüllungsmaterial bzw. zur Faltung des zugeführten Umhüllungsmaterials, wobei deren Elemente ebenfalls regelmäßig an den Organen angeordnet sind. Der Antrieb dieser Arbeitsorgane ist ebenfalls mit dem Antrieb der Transporträder synchronisiert.According to the invention, the
Zur flexiblen Anpassung der Produktionsleistung der Maschine 10 sind an den Transporträdern 20, 30, 40 jeweils weitere Aufnahmeplätze 28, 32 bzw. 42 vorgesehen zur Aufnahme entsprechender Transportelemente. Zusätzlich sind an den weiteren Arbeitsorganen der Maschine 10, z. B. Kragenzufuhreinheit 22, Couponzuführeinheit 35, ebenfalls Aufnahmeplätze 29 bzw. 38 ausgebildet (Fig. 2). Durch Einsetzen oder Umrüsten entsprechender Elemente an den Transport- bzw. Arbeitsorganen wird die Anzahl der entsprechenden Elemente erhöht (Fig. 3).For flexible adaptation of the production capacity of the
In Fig. 3 ist schematisch eine Verpackungsmaschine 10 gezeigt, die durch die Aufnahme weiterer Aufnahmeköpfe und durch die Ergänzung der Zufuhreinrichtungen bzw. Faltorgane umgerüstet wurde. Zusätzlich wurden weitere Stauschächte 15 an der Blockbildestation ausgebildet. Die drei Schächte 15 füllen jeweils Zigarettengruppen eines Formates in die Taschen 16 des Transportrades 18 ein. Durch die Erhöhung der Anzahl der Förderelemente bzw. Arbeitselemente werden bei einer gleich bleibenden Maschinengeschwindigkeit (Fig. 1) die gesamte Produktionsleistung erhöht, da mehr Zigarettenpackungen transportiert und hergestellt werden. Im vorliegenden Fall wurde die gesamte Produktionsleistung hinsichtlich der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Maschine 10 um den Faktor 3 erhöht.In Fig. 3, a
Die Produktionsleistung bezüglich eines Formates kann ebenfalls auf ein Drittel dadurch reduziert werden, dass bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 3 entsprechende und zusammenwirkende Elemente auf den Transportorganen bzw. Arbeitsorganen entfernt oder abgeschaltet werden, so dass die Maschine 10 gemäß dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Prinzip betrieben wird. Dadurch wird die Maschine bei gleicher Maschinengeschwindigkeit in der Produktionsleistung bezüglich des hergestellten Zigarettenformates ebenfalls um ein Drittel reduziert.The production output with respect to a format can also be reduced to one third, that in the embodiment of FIG. 3 corresponding and cooperating elements on the transport organs or work organs are removed or turned off, so that the
Der Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung besteht darin, dass die zur Herstellung notwendigen Werkzeuge bzw. Elemente weiter verwendet werden, während nicht benötigte Teile entfernt oder deaktiviert werden. Darüber hinaus ist eine Maschine nach dem hier dargestellten Prinzip z.B. durch einen kompletten Austausch von Förderorganen auch umrüstbar, so dass keine aufwendigen Umbaumaßnahmen an der Maschine vorgenommen werden müssen. Hierbei bleibt die Geschwindigkeit der Maschine bzw. der Antrieb der Arbeitsorgane konstant. Insgesamt ergeben sich durch die erfindungsgemäße Maschine Variationsmöglichkeiten in Bezug auf die Produktionsleistung und/oder der zu verarbeitenden Zigarettenformate.The advantage of the solution according to the invention is that the tools or elements necessary for the production are further used, while unneeded parts are removed or deactivated. In addition, a machine according to the principle presented here is e.g. Can also be converted by a complete exchange of conveying organs, so that no costly conversion work on the machine must be made. Here, the speed of the machine or the drive of the working organs remains constant. Overall, the machine according to the invention results in variations with regard to the production output and / or the cigarette formats to be processed.
In Fig. 4 ist schematisch ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Verpackungsmaschine 10 gezeigt, wobei hier mehrere Zigarettenformate verarbeitbar sind, wobei jeder der Schächte 15 mit einem anderen Zigarettenformat befüllt ist. Bei dieser Verpackungsmaschine 10 ist eine Anpassung an die verschiedenen Formate dadurch möglich, dass für jedes Zigarettenformat ein bestimmter korrespondierender Satz von Förderelementen 21, 31, 41, 51 der jeweiligen Transporträder 20, 30 ,40, 50 vorgesehen sind. Bei einem Formatwechsel werden die miteinander korrespondierenden Aufnahmeköpfe 21, 31, 41 des verarbeiteten Formats abgeschaltet und die anderen Kopfelemente für ein anderes Format aktiviert. In einer Alternative werden an dieser Verpackungsmaschine 10 mehrere Zigarettenformate gleichzeitig d.h. nebeneinander an derselben Verpackungsmaschine hergestellt. Dadurch wird ebenfalls die gesamte Produktionsleistung der hergestellten Zigarettenpackungen gesteigert, obwohl die Maschinengeschwindigkeit konstant gehalten wird.FIG. 4 schematically shows a further exemplary embodiment of a
