    摘要: In a method of producing wrappings for smoking articles, the wrappings advance intermittently along a forming path with several stations, including a sealing station sealing the wrapping. Each wrapping continuously alternates a period of stop in a station with a period of movement between stations. A first predetermined stop time is associated with a first station, and a second predetermined stop time, greater than the first stop time, is associated with a second station, which is a sealing station. The second station has multiple positions for operating simultaneously on wrappings lots. Between stops in the first station, wrappings advance with a single step, with displacement that brings a wrapping to replace the immediately preceding wrapping. Between stops in the second station, wrappings advance with a multiple step, with a displacement that brings a wrappings lot to replace the immediately preceding lot in the positions of the second station.

    摘要: A device for discharging particulate material, for example powder material, granules or capsules, or in general free-flowing material, such as adhesive material, on a substrate moving along a conveying direction, includes at least one drum rotor having at least one helical track carrying the material to be discharged. The drum rotor is arranged adjacent to the moving substrate, with its axis substantially parallel to the conveying direction so that the portion of the at least one helical track which is closest to the substrate moves in the conveying direction during rotation of the drum rotor and discharges the material carried thereby on the substrate.

    摘要: An apparatus for continuous production of a filter rod for smoking articles includes a belt conveyor system for advancing a rod of filter material. The belt conveyor system has separate conveyor belts, having respective upper conveying runs arranged one downstream of the other. Speeds of the conveyor belts are controlled according to a predetermined ratio, which controls an axial stretching or compacting effect of the material of the filter rod from the transition between conveyor belts, to influence the characteristics of the produced filter rod. Additional operations can be performed in the area between the upper runs of the conveyor belts, which modify the configuration and/or structure of the filter rod, including shaping, marking or embossing of the filter rod; or filter material may form a filter rod outer layer. The apparatus can produce a filter rod having a coaxial configuration.
