Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement for conveying, filling and storing rod-shaped and/or cuboid-shaped products in the processing industry, in particular in the tobacco-processing industry, comprising at least one container filling unit for filling produced products, in particular intermediate products in containers, a container warehouse with a plurality of shelves for storage the container, a handling means for transporting the container and at least one container emptying unit for emptying the containers present in the shelves of the container store.
  • the invention relates to a method for conveying, filling and storing rod-shaped and cuboid products, in particular intermediate products, in particular in the tobacco processing industry.
  • Such arrangements and methods are used in the processing industry, for example to produce further intermediate or end products from several intermediate products.
  • filter production this means that so-called white filter rods, for example, are produced and temporarily stored on a first production machine as an intermediate product of a first type, for example mono-acetate filters.
  • black filters or filter rods are produced as an intermediate product of a second type, e.g. Charcoal filter produced and temporarily stored.
  • the intermediate products are filled into trays on appropriate devices, the so-called tray fillers, and stored temporarily in a tray store.
  • the filled trays with the various intermediate products are made using devices that so-called tray emptiers and conveyed to the production machine for the production of mixed-type intermediate or end products.
  • tray emptiers are devices that so-called tray emptiers and conveyed to the production machine for the production of mixed-type intermediate or end products.
  • tobacco rods with different tobacco blends or other rod-shaped articles or segments thereof can be produced in the same way with a corresponding arrangement.
  • a tray store is arranged centrally between the production machines and tray fillers on the one hand and the tray emptying devices and machines for further processing on the other.
  • filter manufacturing machines with corresponding tray fillers are arranged on one side of the tray storage and tray emptying devices and cigarette manufacturing machines are arranged on the other, opposite side of the tray storage.
  • this type of production cell has the disadvantage that it requires a lot of floor space and long transport routes.
  • the free-standing tray fillers and tray unloaders are each equipped with their own IPC and/or PLC controls and display units, which is not only expensive but also requires additional communication effort between the controls.
  • the central installation of the container storage prevents an overall overview of the production complex and makes it difficult for the operator to react quickly, especially in the event of faults in the tray storage(s).
  • a significant disadvantage is that if the single handling device or storage and retrieval device in the tray storage fails, the entire production complex comes to a standstill after a short time and production comes to a standstill.
  • trays have the fundamental disadvantage that the height of a tray is a multiple of the depth. Due to the narrow base, there is always a risk that the tray could tip over during transport across the broadside, especially when accelerating and decelerating. When the trays are emptied overhead, so-called cross-flights can still occur, which at least impair the transport process, if not lead to an interruption.
  • a method for filling containers with rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry is known, with the steps: the containers are fed to a filling line, the articles are conveyed to the filling line, the containers are filled while passing through the filling section is filled.
