摘要:
Method of monitoring a line of adhesive deposited on a travelling paper web to check for accidental omission of adhesive wherein the adhesive has a distinguishing relative permittivity and is sensed by a capacitive proximity sensor. The web may be plugwrap material for cigarette filter rod, the adhesive being provided to anchor filter tow in position when the plugwrap is wrapped around it. The method avoids various disadvantages associated with other automatic monitoring devices such as optical devices and infra-red devices.
摘要:
An apparatus for sequentially measuring the physical properties of air-permeable rod-like articles such as cigarettes or filter rods. The apparatus is self contained and includes stations for measuring the circumference, weight and pressure drop of each article. The measurement of circumference and pressure drop are carried out pneumatically. An indexing drum is provided to transfer each article to the subsequent measuring station.
