Abstract

L'invention concerne la production de paquets de cigarettes (10) du type boîte à couvercle rabattable, production au cours de laquelle, il est courant, dans une dernière étape de fabrication, de munir de colle des languettes latérales, en vue de former des parois latérales du paquet, et de plier ensuite les languettes latérales situées à l'extérieur. L'encollage s'effectue au moyen d'une colle à froid, d'une part, et d'une colle à chaud, d'autre part. Pendant des phases de fonctionnement déterminées, un seul des types de colle est transféré, de sorte que pour des temps de prise différents des types de colle, on est assuré que le paquet est amené dans une forme exacte avant que les joints collés soient solides. En outre, l'invention permet de garantir que le temps de séjour dans une tourelle revolver de séchage est suffisant pour effectuer le durcissement d'au moins l'un des types de colle.
