Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods and apparatus for the production of filters for cigarettes or other smoking articles.
- Machines for producing filters for cigarettes or other smoking articles able to produce filters made of cellulose acetate fibres bonded together with the addition of a plasticizer agent, tipically triacetine (glycerol triacetate), are old and well-known.
- a machine of this kind is disclosed for example in document EP 2 636 321 A1 of the same Applicant.
- the addition of a plasticizer agent is adopted both for wrapped acetate filters (i.e. filters which are wrapped in a web of paper or other material), and for non-wrapped acetate filters (NWA), i.e. filters which have no wrap.
- the action of the plasticizer agent is completed upon a given aging time, after which the filters pass from a relatively soft consistency to a relatively hardened state, with a simultaneous elastic recovery, which, in the case of NWA filters, gives origin to a diameter reduction.
- the aging time may vary from a minimum of about 40 minutes to a maximum of 72-120 hours, as a function of the degree of hardness and, in the case of NWA filters, as a function of the degree of diameter stabilization which is necessary to achieve for enabling subsequent handling and/or processing operations on the filters.
- the object of the present invention is that of overcoming the above mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, by providing an apparatus which is more efficient, more compact and safer with respect to the known solutions.
- the invention provides an apparatus for the production of filters for cigarettes or other smoking articles, characterized in that it comprises filter making means and conveying means for feeding the produced filters through a drying chamber which is adapted to provide an accelerated aging of the filters, and in that said apparatus further comprises means for varying the speed at which said filters go through said drying chamber, on the basis of at least one detected parameter which is indicative of the humidity contained in said filters, so that, for a given power of said radiofrequency generator device, the residence time of the filters within the drying chamber is adjusted so as to ensure a substantial elimination of the humidity content of the filters.
- the invention also provides a method for producing filters for cigarettes or other smoking articles, which makes use of the above mentioned apparatus.
- Radiofrequency drying devices have been known and used for some time (see for example EP 1 369 654 A1 and EP 1 544 561 A1 ).
- This technology is based on the behaviour of a dielectric material such as water, which, when subjected to an electric field undergoes a polarization of its molecules, i.e. a deformation and/or an orientation according to the lines of the electric field.
- the electric field is alternated, i.e. it is an oscillating field
- the polarization direction is inverted at each inversion of the electric field.
- the water molecules are forced to move with the same frequency as that of the oscillating electric field, thus dissipating energy by intermolecular friction and consequently generating heat which causes water evaporation.
- the elimination of the water content can be accelerated by activating air circulation within the drying chamber.
- the Applicant has found that the technology of radiofrequency dryers is ideal for the application forming the subject of the present invention. Due to the application of a high frequency oscillating electric field, aging of the filters coming from the filter making machine is accelerated, due to the quick elimination of the water content.
- a radiofrequency generator device has a further advantage of being very compact and ensuring a high degree of safety, which renders its application to the apparatus according to the invention an ideal one. Furthermore, the effects of the radiofrequency generator device can be controlled and foreseen precisely for a given device power. Therefore, by using this device it is possible to reliably control actual elimination of the entire humidity content from the filters, without jeopardizing the productivity of the plant, i.e. while keeping the conveying speed of the filters at the maximum possible value.
- the apparatus of the invention comprises sensors means of any known type (such as infrared sensors or capacitive sensors) for detecting the residual humidity content in the filters (or for detecting any other parameter which is indicative of the humidity content, such as even the weight of the filters).
- sensors means of any known type (such as infrared sensors or capacitive sensors) for detecting the residual humidity content in the filters (or for detecting any other parameter which is indicative of the humidity content, such as even the weight of the filters).
- an actuating electric motor which is controlled by an electronic control unit according to a closed loop logic, on the basis of the detected value of the above mentioned parameter.
- the control unit then attends to varying the speed at which the filters go through said drying chamber on the basis of said detected parameter, so that, for a given power of said radiofrequency generator device, the residence time of the filters within said drying chamber is adjusted so as to ensure a substantial elimination of the humidity content from the filters.
- the invention is applicable to the production of filters of any known type, but it is particularly advantageous in the production of filters made of cellulose acetate fibers additioned with a plasticizer agent (both for wrapped acetate filters and for non-wrapped acetate filters or NWA) in order to dramatically accelerate the aging process.
- a plasticizer agent both for wrapped acetate filters and for non-wrapped acetate filters or NWA
- the radiofrequency generator device associated to the drying chamber is therefore controlled so as to achieve a predetermined degree of hardening of the filters and/or a predetermined degree of diameter stabilization of the filters.
- the drying chamber adapted to accelerate aging of the filters can be arranged along the line downstream of the filter making means, or outside of said line.
- said drying chamber which is adapted to accelerate the aging of the filters can be incorporated within the same machine which comprises the above mentioned filter making means, or it can be arranged downstream of said machine.
- Figures 1 , 2 of the annexed drawings show a line for production of filters for cigarettes or other smoking articles, including a first station 10 constituted by a machine of any known type, which includes filter making means for the production of filters constituted by cellulose acetate fibers added with a plasticizer agent.
- a machine of this type is for example described and shown in document EP 2 636 321 A1 of the same Applicant.
- the machine shown in the annexed drawings is namely the machine marketed under the name "MONO" by the Applicant.
- the invention is applicable in general to any type of machine for producing filters and to any type of filters.
- this machine comprises filter making means which include: means for handling and subsequently forming a tow of fibers of cellulose acetate which are picked up from a bale of fibers, means for adding a plasticizer agent in order to bond the fibers together and form a cylindrical tow, means for stabilizing the tow by a vapour flow, means for drying the surface of the tow and means for cutting the tow in order to obtain filters of predetermined lengths.
- the action of the plasticizer agent is completed upon a given aging time, after which the filters pass from a relatively soft consistency to a relatively hardened state, with a simultaneous elastic recovery of the fibers which, in the case of NWA filters, gives origin to a diameter reduction.
- the present invention enables a dramatic decrease in the aging time of the filters.
- the invention provides a drying chamber downstream of said filter making means and in particular downstream of said means for cutting the filters according to a desired length.
- the drying chamber could be incorporated into the machine 10 which includes the above mentioned filter making means, but in the illustrated example it is provided along the conveyor line downstream of machine 10. It would be also possible to provide the drying chamber downstream of the machine 10, but off-line, such as at a parking area served by an accumulation (buffer) conveyor.
- the drying chamber is a tunnel-like chamber arranged along the line between the outlet of machine 10 and the final end of the line (where, in the illustrated example, a station 20 is provided for storage of filters within filter-carrying cartridges, for subsequent transportation thereof).
- filters F are loaded on the conveyed belt 40 (by guiding means of any known type) so that they are arranged transversally on belt 40, forming a number of superimposed layers with staggered pitch (see figure 1A ).
- this drying chamber comprises a radiofrequency generator 50 of any known type, comprising an oscillator adapted to generate a high frequency oscillating electric field which is applied to electrodes arranged inside the drying tunnel.
- the details of construction of the radiofrequency device 50 are not shown herein, since this device can be made in any way known to the experts in the field.
- the technology of radiofrequency is based on the behaviour of a dielectric material such as water, which, when subjected to an electric field undergoes a polarization of its molecules, i.e. a deformation and an orientation according to the lines of the electric field. If the electric field is an alternated (oscillating) field, the direction of polarization becomes inverted at each inversion of the electric field. The water molecules are forced to move at the same frequency as the frequency of the field, thus dissipating energy by intermolecular friction which produces the heat required for drying.
- a dielectric material such as water
- the solution of figures 1 , 2 has a horizontal drying tunnel
- the solution of figures 3 , 4 has a vertical tunnel, in which the filters are caused to advance vertically while they are held clamped between two vertical conveyor belts 41, 42.
- the conveyor belts 41, 42 extend further along a path which returns vertically downwardly to feed the dried filters to station 20.
- the apparatus of the invention comprises one or more sensors HS of any known type (such as infrared sensors or capacitive sensors) for detecting the residual humidity content (or for detecting any other parameter which is indicative of the humidity, such as even the weight of the filters).
- sensors HS of any known type (such as infrared sensors or capacitive sensors) for detecting the residual humidity content (or for detecting any other parameter which is indicative of the humidity, such as even the weight of the filters).
- sensors HS of any known type (such as infrared sensors or capacitive sensors) for detecting the residual humidity content (or for detecting any other parameter which is indicative of the humidity, such as even the weight of the filters).
- driving electric motors M at least one of which is controlled by an electronic control unit E according to a closed loop logic on the basis of the value of said parameter detected by sensor HS.
- Control unit E then attends to controlling electric motor M so as to vary the speed at which the filters go through the drying chamber, on the basis of said detected parameter, so that, for a given power of said radiofrequency generator device, the residence time of the filters within said drying chamber is adjusted so as to ensure a substantially elimination of the humidity content from the filters.
- the electronic unit E can also be connected to an electronic control board of the radiofrequency device, for receiving an information on the operating power of this device. In this manner, it is possible to provide an automatic control such as that indicated above also in the case that the power of device 50 is varied.
- the basic concept of the present invention lies in the idea of providing a drying chamber arranged and configured so as to cause an accelerated aging of the filters after that they have been shaped and cut at the desired length by the filter making means.
- the drying chamber can be provided along the line downstream the machine which includes the filter making means, or off-line, or also it can be incorporated within the machine which comprises the filter making means.
- any suitable technology can be used for the drying chamber, studies and texts of the Applicant show that the technology of radiofrequency driers is particularly advantageous.
- the radio frequency generator device due to the nature itself of the principle used (increase of the kinetic energy of water molecules) provides the advantage of being very compact and of ensuring a high degree of safety, which renders its application to the apparatus of the invention an ideal one. Furthermore, due to the present invention, the effects of the radiofrequency generator device can be controlled and foreseen precisely, for each given power of the device. By using this device, it is therefore possible to reliably control a really total elimination of the humidity content from the filters, without jeopardizing the productivity of the plant, i.e. while keeping the conveyor speed of the filters at the maximum possible value.
