  • the packaging machine 10 (FIG. 5) may be a soft packer, ie a packaging machine 10 for the production of soft packs.
  • the packaging machine 10 is surrounded by a machine housing 12. Within the same and on the machine housing 12 different units are arranged, which deal with the handling of the cigarettes 11.
  • a packaging machine for cigarettes 11 includes a standard cigarette magazine 13. This are taken in the range of (four) shaft groups 14 groups of cigarettes 15 according to the contents of a cigarette pack. These are inserted into pockets 16 of a pocket chain 17. The transport of the cigarette groups 15 through the bag chain 17 takes place in the region of a (horizontal) lower strand 18.
  • a funnel wall 21 is arcuate or polygonal and passes around a horizontal guide bar 22 positioned below the pocket conveyor 17 ( Figure 3).
  • a further receiving member for tobacco particles 19 is provided following the cigarette magazine 13, namely a suction unit 23.
  • This comprises with a suction 24, the bag chain 17 at the top and on a free longitudinal side.
  • To the suction housing 24 includes - diagonally opposite the pocket chain 17 - a suction line 25 at. This is connected to a suction unit and sucks tobacco particles 19 from the suction housing 24.
  • FIG. 3 shows the cigarette magazine 13 in a side view or in a vertical section through a shaft group 14 or through an (upright) cigarette slot, in which the cigarettes are positioned one above the other in individual rows.
  • the cigarette groups 15 are pushed out of the cigarette shafts or shaft groups 14 by plungers 26.
  • a group of plungers is pushed through for this purpose through the lower portion of the cigarette ducts or shaft groups 14 in the direction of the bag chain 17.
  • the cigarettes 11 are moved by the plungers 26 into the region of an upwardly and downwardly movable press pocket 27. In an upper position of the press pocket 27, the cigarette group 15 is inserted into this.
  • the press pocket 27 is lowered - with slight compression of the group of cigarettes 15.
  • the (compressed) cigarette group 15 is pushed out of the press pocket by a slider 28 and inserted into a pocket 16 of the bag chain 17.
  • the cigarette group 15 passes through a mouthpiece 29 therethrough.
  • tobacco particles 19 are inevitably released. These are due to of dead weight next to a part of the packaging machine due to dead weight down.
  • FIG. 4 Another emergence region for tobacco particles 19 is the rear side of the cigarette magazine 13 in the working region of the plunger 26.
  • a rear magazine wall 30 is provided with a recess 31 in the lower region.
  • suction 32 to the effect.
  • a suction piece 33 Above the plane of movement of the plunger 26, a suction piece 33 is arranged (FIG. 4). It is an elongate body which extends along the back of the cigarette magazine 13 in the region of the recess 31.
  • suction chambers 34 are formed within the suction piece 33. These are each associated with a shaft group 14 of the cigarette magazine 13 and on the shaft group 14 facing side open (Fig. 3).
  • the suction chambers 34 are connected to one another so that the tobacco particles 19 can be sucked out of the region of the shaft groups 14 via these (four) suction chambers 34.
  • two suction chambers 34 are connected by a transverse channel 35 with each other.
  • a suction line 36, 37 at. are also connected to a vacuum source and therefore suck the air with the tobacco particles from the described area.
  • the pocket chain 17 or its lower run 18 with the filled pockets 16 is provided on the entire conveying path with a collecting element for tobacco particles 19. It is a conveyor belt 38 below the lower run 18 of the bag chain 17. The conveyor belt receives the falling by its own weight tobacco particles 19 and promotes them - contrary to the conveying direction of the bag chain 17 - to the collecting funnel 20th
  • the tobacco particles taken up by the collecting funnel 20 are directed downwards and received below the collecting funnel by a collecting element, namely a collecting belt 39.
  • a collecting element namely a collecting belt 39.
  • This is dimensioned in the transverse direction, namely in width, so that the next to the collecting funnel 20, namely from the area of the press pocket 27, down falling tobacco particles can be absorbed by this collection belt 39.
  • the tobacco particles 19 received by the gathering belt 39 are transferred to a discharge device, namely to a suction tube 40.
  • a suction tube 40 This is arranged at the end of the collection belt 39, namely in the region of a deflection roller 41.
  • the suction tube 40 encloses the guide roller 41 partially.
  • the wall of the suction tube 40 is provided with an opening 42.
  • the deflecting roller 41 is positioned, so that the collecting belt 39 runs with the tobacco particles in the suction pipe 40. This extends in the axial direction of the guide roller 41.
  • the suction tube 40 is connected to a vacuum source and promotes the tobacco particles, as shown in Fig. 3.
  • the tobacco particles which are conveyed away or extracted in the region of the individual organs or aggregates are expediently collected.
  • a central, common intake manifold namely a main pipe 43.
  • This is provided with a funnel-like connector 44, which connects a Plurality of suction lines or suction pipes to the central main pipe 43 allows.
  • the main pipe 43 in turn is connected to a tobacco separator 45.

  • air is conveyed from the main pipe 43 downwards.
  • the exiting from a lower, open end of the main pipe 43 suction air is deflected by a separator 48. It deals this is a rounded wall, which together with a side wall of the housing 46 forms a container in which the tobacco particles 19 are collected by sinking.
  • the air flow runs along the arrows, that is through the separating member 48 in the upward direction and then next to the separating member 48 through air filter 49 mounted there.
  • the upper end is connected to a transverse support wall 50 in the tobacco separator 45.
  • the support wall 50 has 49 passage openings 51 in the air filter.
  • the area above the support wall 50 is acted upon by the fan 47 with negative pressure, so that the air is sucked through the air filter 49.
  • the air is cleaned in the air filters 49 and passes outwardly through an exit port 52.
  • compressed air nozzles 53 are arranged in the air filter. These are used to clean the air filter 49 by means of compressed air, which from time to time a pressure blast from a pressure vessel through the air filter 49 pass to clean them of residues.
  • a special feature is that the collected and collected tobacco particles 19 can be returned to the production process.
  • the separator 48 can be emptied.
  • the container-like wall forming the separating element 48 is arranged on an upright side wall 54 of the tobacco separator 45.
