Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spacer device of a conveyor drum of the tobacco-processing industry, which supports a wrapping strip section, in particular a tipping paper leaflet, over a predetermined width of the wrapping strip section. Furthermore, the invention relates to a conveyor drum of the tobacco processing industry.
  • a double-length filter or mouthpiece is inserted between cut and longitudinally spaced tobacco sticks, with a glued connecting leaflet or padding plate then being attached to a tobacco stick-mouthpiece-tobacco stick group.
  • the glued connection leaflet is conveyed via a suction roller to a padding device of the tobacco rod mouthpiece tobacco rod group which is conveyed with a defined, predetermined spacing distance or transverse axial distance fed.
  • EP-A-1 466 535 a Filteransetzmaschine is described in which alternately every second group of articles is provided with padding on a conveyor drum and the other group of items is fed to a second pad paper feeding device.
  • the conveyor drum is designed as ⁇ rmchentrommel with lever segments for each one article, in which the lever segments for those articles which are provided on a first tipping paper feeder with a connecting plate, spacers, which prevent sticking of glued connection laminae to the surface of the lever segments.
  • the object of the present invention is to simplify the production of conveyor drums of the tobacco processing industry with spacers for connection papers, wherein it should be possible to facilitate the cleaning of a conveyor drum.
  • a spacer device of a conveyor drum of the tobacco-processing industry which supports a wrapping strip section, in particular a tipping paper leaflet, over a predetermined width of the strip section, which is further developed in that the spacer device is formed as a spacer strip.
