Abstract:
The invention discloses a filter-tipped cigarette comprising a filter tip. The filter tip comprises a plurality of filter elements twisted together by mutually winding. All the filter elements are cellulose acetate fiber bundles. In the invention, since the filter elements are disposed in the way of winding, a total length of the filter elements is increased, a travel of a smoke passing through the filter elements is thereby increased, and thus harmful ingredients in the cigarette are filtered more thoroughly.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a filter tube, the filter tube comprising an empty paper tube and a filter attached to the empty paper tube, wherein the filter comprises a first filter segment, a second filter segment and a third filter segment, wherein the first filter segment is located at the mouth end of the filter tube, the second filter segment is located upstream of the second filter segment and the third filter segment is located upstream of the second filter segment. The invention further concerns a method of making such a filter tube. The filter tube is suitable for make-your-own cigarettes.
Abstract:
A method and device for forming a cigarette filter rod. The method is as follows: in a process of continuously conveying forward cigarette filter materials that tend to converge to have a rod shape, multiple granular additives are continuously output in accordance with a certain time interval, and are sprayed into the cigarette filter materials that converge forwards under the action of continuous transporting flows, so that after the cigarette filter materials converge to form a continuous filter rod, multiple groups of additive unit combinations formed of different granular additive units are embedded in an axial direction of the filter rod. With the method and device for forming a cigarette filter rod, a filter rod containing multiple granular additives can be formed in one step; multiple granular additives can be combined and arranged in any way along an axial direction of the filter rod; dosage positions and intervals of various granular additives can be adjusted and changed randomly; a production process is simplified and the production cost is reduced.
Abstract:
An apparatus for supplying a continuous web of crimped sheet material (2) to a rod forming device comprises:—a winding unit (3) for unwinding the sheet material from a bobbin (21) on which the sheet material is provided;—a crimping unit (7) for crimping the sheet material,—a cutting unit (5) for cutting the continuous web of sheet material (2) to a predetermined width, the cutting unit (5) being arranged upstream of the crimping unit (7) when viewed in the direction of transport of the sheet material (2); and—a control unit (9) for controlling the various units of the apparatus in response to sensor signals received from the respective units.
