Apparatus (1, 1') for axial centring of a rod-like article (4, 4') or a group (30) of rod-like articles wherein the rod-like article (4, 4') or the group (30) of rod-like articles is conveyed in a flute (3) situated on the circumference of a drum conveyor (2), whereas the length of the article (4, 4') or the total length of articles in the group (30) may vary, provided with pusher elements (5) acting on the rod-like article (4, 4') or the group (30) of rod-like articles, characterised in that the pusher elements (5) of a shifting mechanism (13) are driven by a common driving unit (24, 24') and are connected in such a way that the force exerted by the driving unit (24, 24') is distributed to the pusher elements (5) acting axially on the rod-like article (4, 4') or the group (30) of rod-like articles. The object of the application is also a method of axial centring of the rod-like article (4) or the group (30) of rod-like articles wherein the rod-like article (4, 4') or the group (30) of rod-like articles is conveyed in the flute (3) situated on the circumference of the drum conveyor (2), by means of the pusher elements (5), whereas the length of the article (4, 4') or the total length of articles in the group (30) may vary, characterised in that the force exerted by the driving unit (24) is distributed to the pusher elements (5) of the shifting mechanism (13) acting axially on the rod¬ like article (4, 4') or the group (30) of rod-like articles.
摘要:
The subject of the application is a device which supports mass flow of rod-shaped articles of the tobacco industry in a transport channel, having at least two segments (2, 3) connected by a connecting element (4), characterised in that the segments (2) are provided with positioning means (7, 8) which mate with the elements of the conveyor to set the position of the supporting device relative to the elements of the conveyor (5a, 5b). Furthermore, the subject of the application is a method of supporting mass flow of rod-shaped articles of the tobacco industry in a transport channel section characterised in that a supporting device (1) is introduced into the transport channel in the inlet part of the section being filled up provided with positioning means (7, 8) which with the elements of the conveyor set the position of the supporting device relative to the elements of the conveyor belt (5a, 5b), subsequently, the mass flow of rod-shaped articles is started in such a way so that the face of the mass flow is supported on the last segment of the supporting device, after which the travel of the belt of the conveyor in the remaining part of the section of the transport channel being filled up is started such that the mass flow of rod-shaped articles fills up the space of the channel section, supported on the last segment of the supporting device.
摘要:
A filter tip attachment has a conveying path (6) configured to convey an intermediate product (IP); a first conveying drum (4) configured to convey the intermediate product (IP) while holding the intermediate product (IP); a second conveying drum (5) configured to receive the intermediate product (IP) from the first conveying drum (4) and to convey the intermediate product (IP) in the circumferential direction of the second conveying drum (5); a supply drum (9) configured to distribute a tip paper (3) and attach the head edge of the tip paper (3) to the intermediate product (IP); and a guide member (10) provided adjacent to the second conveying drum (5) along the circumferential direction of the second conveying drum (5) and configured to wind the tip paper (3) around the intermediate product (IP) by rolling the intermediate product (IP) while being in contact with the guide member (10), wherein the conveying path (6) is configured such that diameter enlarged sections, which have a diameter enlarged along the conveying path (6), are provided in portions (6a, 6b, 6c) where the conveying path (6) is narrower than the diameter of the filter plug (FP), the portions (6a, 6b, 6c) corresponding with a position where a capsules (2) is enclosed in a filter plug (FP).

摘要:
An electrical smoking system (21) comprising a cigarette (23) and an electric lighter (25), wherein the cigarette (23) comprises a tubular tobacco mat (66) partially filled with material tobacco (80) so as to define a filled tobacco rod portion (60) and an unfilled tobacco rod portion (90). The cigarette (23) and the lighter (25) are mutually arranged so that when the cigarette (23) is received in the lighter (25), the electrical heater element (37) of the lighter (25) at least partially superposes at least a portion of the filled tobacco rod portion (60). The cigarette (23) and the lighter (25) are also mutually arranged so that when the cigarette (23) is received in the lighter (25), the free end (15) of the cigarette (23) is occluded. The cigarette (23) includes a zone of perforations (12, 14) at a location along the filled tobacco rod portion (60), with the cigarette being free of perforations along the unfilled tobacco rod portion (90).
摘要:
Described herein is a method and apparatus (12) for transferring rods (or tubes) (10) for use in smoking article manufacturing comprising feeding a plurality of rods into a hopper, feeding the rods through a hopper (14) using agitation and gravity to align the rods in a single-file stacked configuration, and transferring the rods with pushers (50) on a continuous cable so that the rods may be transferred for insertion in a tobacco column. This method and apparatus may utilize one or more drums (16, 18, 20) for transferring rods from the hopper to the pushers on the continuous cable.
