A manufacturing machine and a manufacturing method for the production of a tubular element, in particular for a smoking article. There are provided: an input conveyor, which moves at least one pocket along an input path; a wrapping conveyor, which moves at least one spindle, which has the shape of an inner cavity of the tubular element, along a wrapping path; a feeding station, where the pocket receives a wrapping sheet; and a transfer station, where the pocket releases the wrapping sheet to the spindle folding the wrapping sheet around the spindle into a 'U' shape.

Manufacturing machine and manufacturing method for the production of a tubular element, in particular for a smoking article

A manufacturing machine and a manufacturing method for the production of a filter for a tubular element. There are provided: a folding conveyor, which moves at least one first pocket along a folding path, said first pocket being designed to house a sheet made of card stock and having an inner portion and an outer portion; a feeding station, where the first pocket receives the card stock sheet and engages the sole outer portion of the card stock sheet, leaving the inner portion of the card stock sheet free; a first folding station, where the inner portion of the card stock sheet left free by the first pocket is folded like the bellows of an accordion; and an insertion station, where the first pocket releases the card stock sheet having the inner portion folded like the bellows of an accordion.

Manufacturing machine and manufacturing method for the production of a filter for a tubular element

A manufacturing machine method for the production of a tubular element provided with a filter at one end, includes, an insertion conveyor, which moves at least one pocket along an insertion path; a transfer station, where the pocket receives the tubular element inside the seat; an insertion station, where a filter is inserted into the tubular element housed in the seat; a tubular inserting body, with the shape of a truncated cone, is arranged in the area of the insertion station; an actuator designed to produce a relative movement between the pocket and the inserting body so as to at least partially place the inserting body inside the tubular element housed in the pocket; and a pushing element designed to push the filter along the entire inserting body until it comes out of the inserting body, so as to insert the filter into the tubular element surrounding the inserting body.
