The object of the application is a transferring apparatus () for transferring of a stream of rod-like articles () from an apparatus () feeding rod-like articles to an apparatus () receiving the rod-like articles in the machines of the tobacco industry, whereas in the feeding apparatus () the rod-like articles () are conveyed in a first stream (S) of rod-like articles in which the rod-like articles are arranged in a first configuration, and in the receiving apparatus () the rod-like articles () are conveyed in a second stream (S) of rod-like articles in which the rod-like articles () are arranged in a second configuration, comprising: a transferring wheel (); non-slidable lugs () situated on the circumference of the transferring wheel (); a guiding surface () to guide the rod-like article, the rod-like articles being conveyed axially, tangentially to the guiding surface (); characterised by having a slidable lug () being slidable relative to the circumference of the transferring wheel () by means of a drive mechanism () so that the said slidable lug () varies its position relative to an adjacent non-slidable lug ().

Transferring apparatus for transferring and method for transferring of rod-like articles of tobacco industry, and apparatus for conversion of configuration of a stream of such articles

A system for manufacturing rod-like articles, comprising a machine for manufacturing the rod-like articles or a feeding device for delivering the rod-like articles, a first measuring unit for measuring at least one quality parameter of the manufactured rod-like articles, a device for dividing a stream of the rod-like articles into a first stream and into a second stream, a first transferring device, which receives the first stream of the rod-like articles and transfers this stream as an output stream of the rod-like articles manufacturing system, a second transferring device which transfers inspected rod-like article to the output stream of the rod-like articles on the first transferring device.

Method and a system for production of rod-shaped articles

A unit for uneven transferring of a bead () stream in a filter manufacturing machine, from receiving pockets () to leading away pockets (), through guiding grooves disposed on guiding plates, comprising two guiding plates () situated on top of each other, whereas a guiding groove (A) of the first guiding plate () and a guiding groove (A) of the second guiding plate () intersect, forming at least one bead () guiding chamber, whereas at least one of the guiding plates () is movable, wherein the receiving pockets () and the leading away pockets () are disposed along the circumference of the guiding plates () so that the distances (S1, S2, T1, T2) between the successive pockets () are alternately different.

Method and unit for uneven transferring of beads

The object of the application is an apparatus for picking up a loose substance in the tobacco industry equipment comprising a loose substance feeding unit provided with a loose substance feeding tape and a picking up unit, characterized in that the picking up unit () is provided with vacuum pockets () cooperating with scrapers (), whereas the vacuum pockets () together with the scrapers () are adapted to moving relative to the loose substance () feeding tape (). In addition, the objects of the application are a scraper and a picking up method.

Apparatus for handling bulk material in the tobacco processing industry, scraper for such apparatus and method of handling bulk material

A method and device for feeding beads in a tobacco industry system including a bead container, a bead feeding unit having a plurality of channels for supplying a plurality of bead streams, a unit for transferring the beads to the filter material, where the beads are fed from holding pockets of the bead feeding unit to receiving pockets of the bead transfer unit, in which the beads are supplied from the bead container to a plurality of channels of the bead feeding unit which form holding pockets; the beads are fed from the holding pockets of the bead feeding unit to the receiving pockets of the bead transfer unit and to a delivery wheel by a movable feeding device; the beads are picked up from the receiving pockets by a movable guiding device.

Bead feeding method and bead feeder

The object of the invention is a unit for conveying filter segments () for the machines of tobacco industry, comprising a chain conveyor () in a horizontal arrangement on which the lugs () are disposed, the working ends () of which are deflected from the vertical. The unit comprises guides () of the filter segments () provided with an inclined channel () guiding the lug ().

Unit for conveying filter segments

Beads are transferred in the form of a flow along supply channels into first holding pockets; the beads from the holding pockets of the bead feeding unit are fed to receiving pockets of a bead transfer unit by means of movable feeding means, then in the bead transfer unit the beads are inserted into a guiding chamber formed at the intersection of a guiding groove of a first guiding plate and a guiding groove of a second guiding plate of the bead transfer unit, at least one guiding plate is rotated relative to the second guiding plate, which forces the movement of the guiding chamber so that the distance of the guiding chamber to the axis of rotation of the guiding plates changes, and the beads from the guiding chamber or the guiding channel are conveyed to a outfeeding pocket.

Bead feeding method and bead feeding unit

The subject matter of the application is a method of feeding beads in the tobacco industry system, in a unit for transferring a stream of beads (), from receiving pockets () to outfeeding pockets (), where the beads are transferred along guiding grooves (A,B,A,B,C) disposed on guiding plates (), comprising the steps in which: the beads are fed to a guiding chamber () formed at the intersection of the guiding groove (A,B) of the first guiding plate () and the guiding groove (A,B,C) of the second guiding plate (); at least one guiding plate is rotated relative to the second guiding plate, which forces the movement of the guiding chamber () so that the distance of the guiding chamber () to the axis of rotation of the guiding plates changes; the beads are conveyed from the guiding chamber () to the outfeeding pocket (). The subject matter of the application is also a device for the implementation of the method.
