Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for merging mass flows formed from cross-axially transported rod-shaped products, comprising a first guide element and a second guide element arranged above the first guide element, which with the first, lower guide element has an outlet channel for merging the mass flow P flowing out of the outlet channel A forms with a further, at an acute angle to the mass flow P A striking mass flow P M , wherein the upper guide element is designed as a limiting element for controlling the flowing out of the orifice passage mass flow P A and to form a compensation reservoir.
  • the invention further relates to a method for combining mass flows formed from transversely axially transported rod-shaped products, comprising the steps of: flowing a first mass flow P A through an orifice passage, wherein the orifice passage directs the mass flow P A at an acute angle to a second mass flow P M directs, combining the mass flows P A and P M in an orifice region to a mass flow P G , narrowing the orifice channel by means of a limiting element in the event that the mass flow P A is reduced or stopped completely by the limiting element pivoted against the mass flow P A becomes.
  • Such devices and methods are used in particular in the tobacco processing industry in the processing of rod-shaped products in connection with an emptying magazine for a Schrägentleerstation for emptying filled with rod-shaped slopes, in particular shaft trays, comprising a receiving space for the products flowing from the slopes products, said Receiving space is upwardly in the direction of the slope open and limited downwards by a channel forming conveyor element for transporting the products, and at least one current regulating element within the receiving space to form at least two vertically directed channels for controlling the product flow within the discharge magazine, wherein the distance is adjustable between each current regulating element and the conveying element is used.
  • Cigarettes, filter rods or the like are stored in containers, the so-called bevels for storage for various reasons.
  • the containers may be formed as standard trays with an undivided receiving space for the products or with a subdivided into individual wells receiving space. For further processing of the stored products, these are delivered to downstream devices, such as packaging machines or the like, or introduced into an existing mass flow.
  • downstream devices such as packaging machines or the like
  • the so-called emptying stations are available.
  • the emptying stations have in a known manner a supply for products filled with containers, an emptying magazine, a discharge for the emptied containers and a transfer device, by means of the full container from the feed in the region of the emptying magazine and the empty container from the emptying magazine in the area the removal be transported.

  • the known means for merging serve to unite the products flowing from the discharge magazine as mass flow P A products with another mass flow P M.
  • Such devices form a connection between storage or emptying magazines on the one hand and, for example, conveyors coming from production machines on the other hand. In other words, these devices serve to combine several mass flows of different origins into a common mass flow before it reaches a downstream device, eg a packing machine.
  • the emptying magazine serves to remove the products flowing from the containers continuously and uniformly over the conveying space delimiting the receiving space and the downstream devices or the like supply.
