  • the guide device in such a way that it combines at least two filter tow strips with one another and transfers them together to a stranding machine provided as a subordinate device for the production of filters, which are thus constructed simultaneously from the at least two filter tow strips.
  • the latter development is particularly suitable for processing at least two filter towers made of different materials and / or with other different properties and thus for the production of filters in which, for example, the flue gas paths are controllable due to different draw resistances of the individual tows.

  • the special feature of this modular coupling is, in particular, to produce the filter towers independently of each other within one and the same system and, for example, to be able to make different settings independently of each other.
  • This also gives the possibility of a very high format flexibility, including the achievement of different filter lengths.
  • the plurality of filter tows can be threaded continuously in the multiple line system.
  • the filters can be produced as required by the processing units each deliver the processed filter tow in the required form.
  • the device according to the invention offers, as further advantages, rapid realizability of individual multiple-line systems as well as increased efficiency, since in the case of the interruption of the operation of one strand line, it can continue to be produced on the other line lines.
  • Figure 1 is shown schematically in cross section (Figure 1 a) and in longitudinal section (Figure 1b), the structure of a processing module 2, which has a housing 4.

  • the filter tow strip 8 after entering through the inlet 6, passes through the processing module 2 along a downward vertical section of an unspecified tow guide path, the downward movement of the filter tow strip 8 being assisted by the influence of gravity.

  • each conditioning module 2 must have at least one further inlet 34, through which the filter tow 8 of the respectively adjacent conditioning module 2 enters and exits through the outlet 32 again. In this way, a passage of the filter tow 8 is successively ensured by the processing modules 2.
  • the inlets 34 and the outlets 32 are aligned with each other to form uniform interfaces. Possibly. can also be provided further outlets, whereby the staggered arrangement of the filter tow 8 is taken into account. Accordingly, the inlets 34 must be offset or provided in appropriate number.

  • FIG. 4 likewise shows a four-strand arrangement which, however, differs from the arrangement according to FIGS. 2 and 3 in that the four conditioning modules 2 are not adjacent to one another but next to one another, so that in the transition module 36 the four filter tow strips (not shown here) correspondingly must be merged at an angle before they are passed to the multi-strand machine 40.
  • the relative assignment of the towballs 44 to the processing modules 4 corresponds to that of FIG. 3, so that according to FIG. 4 the towballs 44 are now placed in each case in front of the processing modules 2, viewed in the processing direction.

  • two adjacent single-strand machine modules 42 on one side and the two other single-strand machine modules adjoining each other are located on the other side of the group formed by the four processing modules 2.
  • This in turn has the consequence that the filter tow strips 8 processed by the processing modules 2 do not exit in the same direction as in the arrangement of FIG. 5 from the processing modules 2 combined into a group, but two filter tow strips 8 into the one and the other two filter tow strips 8 in FIG opposite direction.

Accordingly, for example, only common roller pairs are used, through which both filter tow strips 8 run together. The same applies to the treatment facility. In contrast, however, a separate shaping device is to be provided for each filter tow 8.
  • At least one Zweistrangfilterher ein can be realized. Accordingly, when using a plurality of corresponding conditioning modules 2 arranged in a row at right angles to the viewing plane of FIG. 13, it is possible to realize a filter production with a number of strings which is a multiple of two.
  • the processing modules 2 described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 13 each supply only a single line of lines in a downstream multi-strand machine 40 or a downstream and correspondingly assigned single-strand machine module 42.
