摘要:
An apparatus for supplying a continuous web of crimped sheet material to a rod forming device comprises:—a winding unit (3) for unwinding the sheet material from a bobbin (21) on which the sheet material is provided,—a crimping unit (7) for crimping the sheet material,—a dispensing unit (8) for adding a particulate or liquid add-on material to the sheet material, and—a control unit (9) for controlling the various units of the apparatus in response to sensor signals received from the respective units. The dispensing unit (8) is arranged downstream of the crimping unit (7) when viewed in the direction of transport of the sheet material, and upstream of the rod forming device to which the crimped sheet material is supplied.
摘要:
A method of safe transfer of filter segments to a grouping belt in a process of producing multi-segment filters. The method includes transferring the filter segments using a filter segments' flow track, wherein the filter segments' flow track includes, consecutively, a zone of delivery of prepared segments, a zone of separation of delivered segments by a separating unit, a zone of intercepting of separated segments by a transferring unit, a zone of transferring segments by the transferring unit, and a zone of placing the segments by the transferring unit on a horizontal path of the grouping belt; detecting incorrect flow of filter segments in any zone and/or between the zones; and moving the transferring unit and/or the separating unit out of the filter segments' flow track if an incorrect flow of filter segments is detected, and interrupting the process of producing multi-segment filters.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung (10, 110, 210) weist der wenigstens eine Mikrowellenresonator (30, 30', 32, 130, 230) wenigstens eine seitliche Öffnung (38, 62, 135, 236) auf und ist zur wenigstens einen Muldenfördervorrichtung (12, 14, 17) so angeordnet, dass stabförmige Artikel (25) auf ihrem Förderweg auf der wenigstens einen Muldenfördervorrichtung (12, 14, 17) an einer Stelle einer größten Annäherung an oder eines größten Eintritts in die wenigstens eine seitliche Öffnung (38, 62, 135, 236) sich in einem Wirkbereich eines im Mikrowellenresonator (30, 30', 32, 130, 230) erzeugten Mikrowellenmessfelds (39, 39', 144, 238) befinden, wobei die stabförmigen Artikel (25) bei Durchtritt durch das Mikrowellenmessfeld (39, 39', 144, 238) im Wesentlichen quer zu ihrer Längsachse mit dem Mikrowellenmessfeld (39, 39', 144, 238) beaufschlagt sind.
摘要:
A method for online measurement of a plasticizer in an endless filter rod (7) at a filter rod maker, with the following method steps: - measuring a resonance shift (A) and a line broadening (B) with a microwave resonator (10) at a passing endless filter rod (7), - determining a mass per length of plasticizer from the measurement variables (A, B) of the microwave resonator (10), - measuring (13) a reference mass of plasticizer applied per time with the application (4) of the plasticizer (17) onto the filter tow band, - determining an averaged reference mass per length of plasticizer from the measured mass applied over a time period, - averaging the values for mass per length of plasticizer, determined using the measurement variables of the microwave resonator, over the same time period in which the reference mass of plasticizer is determined, - determining a deviation between the averaged reference value for the mass per length and the averaged mass per length and correcting the mass per length, determined from the measurement variables of the microwave resonator, according to the determined deviation.
