Filter rod end device and method for transferring of filter rods of the tobacco processing industry from a magazine in a conveying duct

摘要

The invention relates to a filter rod transmitter device (10) for transferring of filter rods (12) of the tobacco processing industry from a magazine (11) into a feed line in the direction of conveying f of the filter rods (12) comprising a magazine (11) for receiving and storing of the filter rods (12), wherein in the magazine (11) atmospheric pressure p_Atmosphere prevails, a pressure lock (13) for receiving and intermediate storage of the filter rods (12) with an access (15) for establishing and dismantling of a pressure level, a pressure chamber (16), wherein in the pressure chamber (16) a pressure p_Dk p_Atmosphere prevails, and a transmitting unit (17) is arranged, which a rotationally drivable drum (18) with troughs (19) for receiving and transverse axial transport of the filter rods (12) in the region of a () (20) as well as a retaining duct (21), which comprises the drum (18) to the transverse axial transport of the filter rods (12) with the () (20), which is characterized in that the pressure lock (13) at both the inlet side with respect to the magazine (11) as well as on the output side with respect to the pressure chamber (16) by means of a sealing means (22) with an inflatable seal (23) is sealed, wherein the inflatable seals (23) to a compressed-air control means (40) for varying the pressure within the seals (23) are connected. The present invention also relates to a corresponding method.
