Conveying device for cigarettes in packing machine - has regulated supply and discharge by maintaining horizontal cigarette level in supply chute

摘要

Near the transition between the collecting container and transport chamber (23) there are flow regulators for regulating the continuous discharge of the cigarettes (10) so that a variable cigarette level (39) runs more or less horizontal. The regulators can be substantially upright walls or webs (26, 27, 28, 29, 30) which project into the area of the discharging cigarette flow, namely with an insert depth decreasing in the conveyor direction. The lower limit of the regulator webs can decrease linearly in the conveyor direction of the cigarettes so that a wedge rise in the height of the discharging flow is provided. USE/ADVANTAGE -Even emptying of the collecting container allowing smooth handling of the cigarettes.
