摘要:
An apparatus (1) for manufacturing multi-segment articles comprising feeding modules (20), the feeding modules (20) being adapted to cut rods (MA, MB, MC, MD) into segments (A, B, C, D) and to feed the segments (A, B, C, D) to an assembling unit (30). The feeding unit comprises a hopper (21) for storing the rods (MA, MB, MC, MD), a receiving drum (22) for receiving the rods (MA, MB, MC, MD) from the hopper (21), a cutting head (24), situated at the conveying drum (23), for cutting the rods (MA, MB, MC, MD) into individual segments (A, B, C, D), a shifting drum (25) for varying the mutual position of the segments (A, B, C, D), an aligning drum (26) for forming at least one stream of the segments (A, B, C, D). Furthermore, the apparatus comprises an assembling unit (30) provided with assembling drums (31) and conveying drums (32) for receiving the segments (A, B, C, D) from the feeding modules (20) and forming a group (G1) of the segments, and a first wrapping module (40) for feeding a section of a first wrapping material (W1) and wrapping a the segment group (G1) fed from the assembling unit (30) so as to form a multi-segment rod (R). The apparatus according to the invention is characterized in that the first wrapping module (40) comprises a conveying and pushing together drum (44) which is adapted to receive the group (G1) of the segments (A, B, C, D) with gaps, the first wrapping module (40) being provided with a pushing together mechanism (45, 46, 47, 48) for pushing the group (G1) of the segments (A, B, C, D) together so that the segments (A, B, C, D) in the segment group (G1) after pushing together are in contact with one another, furthermore, the conveying and pushing together drum (44) is adapted to convey the group (G2) of the segments (A, B, C, D) pushed together, along with a section of the first wrapping material (W1).

A double cigarette (11) includes mouth-end filter bodies (1a and 1b) to be located on respective mouth-end sides of finished cigarettes, the mouth-end filter bodies containing filter fibers and extending along an axial direction; a filter plug (8) in which the mouth-end filter bodies (1a and 1b) are placed in a line along the axial direction; cigarette rods (9) placed on opposite sides of the filter plug (8); and tipping paper adapted to integrally wrap the filter plug (8) and the cigarette rods (9), wherein distinguishing indicators (15a and 15b) visually distinguishable from the filter fibers are formed on respective mouth-side end faces (16) which are opposing end faces of the mouth-end filter bodies (1a and 1b), the filter plug (8) is formed such that the mouth-end filter bodies (1a and 1b) whose distinguishing indicators (15a and 15b) differ from each other are placed with the distinguishing indicators (15a and 15b) facing each other.
摘要:
A modular apparatus is configured to cause received rods of smokeable material to undergo a first sequence of operations. The modular apparatus can be reconfigured so as to cause received rods of smokeable material to undergo a second sequence of operations, different to the first sequence of operations. The first and second sequences of operations respectively form at least part of first and second processes for assembling smoking articles, each smoking article comprising one of said rods of smokeable material, which is smoked in use. The modular apparatus comprises a first inserter configured to insert a first rod article between two tobacco rods, a first rod divider configured to divide the first rod article into at least two parts, a separator configured to separate a first group comprising a rod of smokeable material and one of said parts from a second group comprising a rod of smokeable material and another of said parts and a second inserter configured to insert a second rod article between the first and second groups.
摘要:
A filter cigarillo (1) comprises a bunch (2), which includes tobacco (4) surrounded by a binder (6). A first section (8), different from the general bunch and providing some strengthening effect, is arranged at one end of the bunch (2). A natural-leaf wrapper (12) surrounds the bunch (2) and the first section (8). A second section (14), which comprises filter material, is arranged downstream of the first section (8). The second section (14) is connected to the natural-leaf wrapper (12) by an outer tipping (16).
摘要:
The invention relates to an arrangement for producing filter cigarettes. A line formation device (300), which is used to form a strand of tobacco, and a filter arranging device (200; 200.1, 200.2), which is used to arrange filter plugs on tobacco sticks cut from the tobacco strand, are provided. The arrangement is further developed by providing a device (100), which is used to assemble multi-segment filter plugs from at least three filter segment pieces.
