A production and packaging installation with a control arrangement () and production units having respectively adjustable mechanisms, such as, a (cigarette-) production machine (maker), a packaging machine (packer), possibly a film-wrapping machine (), possibly a multipacker () and possibly a carton packer (cartoner), for the production and ready-to-dispatch packaging of, in the first instance, products&#x2014;cigarettes and cigarette packs&#x2014;of a first type and, thereafter, products of a second type each comprising starting materials, such as paper blanks, film and the like, and also specifies the control arrangement itself and a method of controlling the line, it being the case that at least a first set of parameters () associated with products of the first type and a second set of parameters () associated with products of the second type are stored in a selectable manner in a memory of the control arrangement () and, upon selection of a set of parameters (), a manipulated variable for adjusting the or each adjustable mechanism can be transmitted to the or each production unit by the control arrangement (), by way of the selected parameters.

Cigarette production and packaging unit and method and device for control thereof

A process for checking rod-like articles, in particular cigarettes (), and an apparatus which is suitable for carrying out the process, a moveable testing element (), with mounted push rods () displaceable in the axial direction being moved in the direction of the articles, and each push rod () being displace as it strikes against an article and an electrically evaluable signal&#x2014;actuating signal ()&#x2014;being generated as a result and, upon generation of the actuating signal (), the position of the testing element () is determined, and the determined position is evaluated

Process and apparatus for checking rod-like articles, in particular cigarettes

In the production and packaging of cigarettes, the procedure for carrying out a product changeover is such that the entire production and packaging installation is largely emptied. In the region of a film packer ( ) and of a following multipacker ( ), subassemblies for producing web connections (splice) are controlled such that a last cigarette pack of the old configuration is assigned to a last cigarette multipack ( ) and this is then separated out.
