Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing and / or Packaging of tobacco products, especially cigarettes.
  • Farther The invention relates to a cigarette manufacturing machine (Maker) and a packaging machine for cigarettes (packer).
  • the invention has for its object the handling of tobacco particles when handling tobacco or tobacco products to improve in connection with manufacturing and packaging machines.
  • the method according to the invention is used to achieve this object characterized in that in areas of particular increased Incidence of tobacco particles due to mechanical exposure the tobacco particles are collected and removed and preferably collected centrally.
  • a subject of the invention is therefore the targeted detection, elimination and collection of tobacco particles in the reinforced area Occurrence of the same. Furthermore, according to the invention Tobacco particles preferably centrally in the area of the concerned Machine or collected outside of it and the production process for cigarettes or other tobacco products again fed.
  • the tobacco particles are used in packaging machines for cigarettes in the area of selected aggregates - with increased incidence of Tobacco particles - continuously by suction and / or by removal eliminated and in particular fed to a tobacco separator, which separates the tobacco particles from an air stream.
  • the Tobacco collected in the tobacco separator is removed from it and fed back into the manufacturing process of cigarettes.
  • the tobacco separator can be integrated into the packaging machine or installed outside of it as a separate unit and with the packaging machine via a central suction line be connected.
  • FIG. 5 The overviews and details shown in the drawings deal with the preferred application example, namely the design and mode of operation of a packaging machine 10 for cigarettes 11.

  • a packaging machine for cigarettes 11 is standard a cigarette magazine 13. This will be in the range of (four) shaft groups 14 cigarette groups 15 corresponding to the Contents taken from a pack of cigarettes. These come in pockets 16 a pocket chain 17 inserted. The transport of the Cigarette groups 15 through the pocket chain 17 take place in the area a (horizontal) lower strand 18.
  • a funnel wall 21 is designed in the shape of an arc or a polygon and passes around a horizontal guide rod 22 which is positioned below the pocket conveyor 17 (Fig. 3).
  • Cigarette magazine 13 is another receiving organ for tobacco particles 19 provided, namely a suction unit 23.
  • a suction unit 23 This comprises with a suction housing 24, the pocket chain 17 on the Top and on a free long side.
  • Suction line 25 on the suction housing 24 closes one - diagonally opposite the pocket chain 17 Suction line 25 on. This is connected to a suction unit and sucks tobacco particles 19 out of the suction housing 24.
  • FIG. 3 shows the cigarette magazine 13 in a side view or in a vertical section through a shaft group 14 or through a (upright) cigarette holder, in which the cigarettes in individual rows are positioned one above the other.
  • the cigarette groups 15 are removed by tappets 26 from the cigarette shafts or the shaft groups 14 pushed out.
  • a group of For this purpose, pestle is pushed through the lower area of the cigarette tubes or shaft groups 14 pushed through in Direction to the pocket chain 17.
  • the cigarettes 11 are from the plungers 26 up and down in the area of a Press pocket 27 moves. In an upper position of the press pocket 27, the cigarette group 15 is inserted into it.
  • the press pocket 27 is lowered - with a slight squeeze the cigarette group 15.
  • the (compressed) cigarette group 15 is through a slide 28 out of the press pocket and into a pocket 16 of the pocket chain 17 inserted.
  • the cigarette group occurs 15 through a mouthpiece 29.
  • FIG. 4 Another area of origin for tobacco particles 19 is Back of the cigarette magazine 13 in the work area of the Tappet 26.
  • a rear magazine wall 30 is in the lower region provided with a recess 31.
  • Suction element 32 for effect.
  • Above the movement level of the Tappet 26 is a suction piece 33 (Fig. 4). It deals is an elongated body that runs along the back of the cigarette magazine 13 in the region of the recess 31 extends.
  • suction chambers 34 Inside the suction piece 33 there are suction chambers 34 formed. These are each a shaft group 14 of the cigarette magazine 13 assigned and facing the shaft group 14 Side open (Fig. 3). The suction chambers 34 are together connected, so that these (four) suction chambers 34 the tobacco particles 19 are suctioned off in the area of the shaft groups 14 can be.
  • suction chambers 34 there are two suction chambers 34 connected to one another by a transverse channel 35. At both ends the suction piece 33 connects to a suction line 36, 37. These are also connected to a vacuum source and suck therefore the air with the tobacco particles from the described Range.
  • the pocket chain 17 or its lower strand 18 with the filled Bags 16 is on the entire conveyor line with a collecting element provided for tobacco particles 19. These are around a conveyor belt 38 below the lower run 18 of the pocket chain 17.
  • the conveyor belt takes those falling due to their own weight Tobacco particles 19 and promotes this - contrary to Conveying direction of the pocket chain 17 - to the collecting funnel 20.
  • the tobacco particles picked up by the collecting funnel 20 become directed downwards and below the collecting funnel from a collecting organ, namely a collecting belt 39.
  • This is dimensioned in the transverse direction, namely in the width, that also next to the collecting funnel 20, namely from the area the press pocket 27, tobacco particles falling down can be picked up by this collection belt 39.
  • the tobacco particles 19 picked up by the collecting belt 39 become transferred to a discharge device, namely to a suction pipe 40.
  • a suction pipe 40 This is at the end of the collection belt 39, namely in the area of one Deflection roller 41, arranged.
  • the suction pipe 40 encloses the deflection roller 41 partially.
  • the wall of the suction pipe 40 is with an opening 42 provided.
  • the deflection roller is in the area of the same 41 positioned so that the harness 39 with the tobacco particles runs into the suction pipe 40. This extends into Axial direction of the deflection roller 41.
