SYSTEM FOR STORING CIGARETTE PARTS OF SIMULATED CIGARETTES

摘要

System (1) for storing cigarette parts (2), such as cartridges, of simulated cigarettes, wherein the system comprises a tray (5), a tray conveyor (14), a part supply (17), a collecting device (18), a restraining unit (40), a transport unit (42), a part mover (21), and a control unit (23) configured to control the tray conveyor, the transport unit and the part mover. The tray is configured to move along a track over a predetermined distance in a downward direction each time that one set of cigarette parts is placed in the tray by the part mover so that a subsequent set of cigarette parts can be placed on a previously placed set of cigarette parts. The transport unit is configured to move a set of cigarette parts from a collecting location (41) into a discharge location (20).
