Improved filter rod manufacturer for handling rigid packaging web materials

摘要

The filter rod manufacturer has an operating station for forming a packaged filter rod, a cutter blade for cutting the packaged filter rod into rod segments (104), and a plurality of gaps on the outer surface of the drum with gaps. And a moving device with a rotating drum (100) having a flute (102) of which the flute receives a rod segment (104) as the drum rotates. The drum comprises stop means (106) at one end of each flute adjacent when the elongated filter rod is received in the flute. The stop means (106) has a first diameter (D1) and extends along the axis (F) of the flute (102) between the first end where the pin is attached to the frame and the second end. An extended pin (108) with a cylindrical body is provided. The pin (108) includes an adjacent portion (118) extending along an axis (F) from the second end of the cylindrical body, the adjacent portion (118) being a second smaller than the first diameter (D1). And presenting a substantially planar surface for adjoining the end of the elongated filter rod. [Selection] Figure 1
