Definitions

  • feed hoppers are provided to store cigarettes to be packed in an orderly manner parallel to each other. This positioning of the cigarettes is required for the correct machine operation as the cigarettes are extracted in an orderly manner from the bottom of the hopper to form the various groups of cigarettes to be packed.
  • the hopper is generally fed with successive loadings by means of trays in which the cigarettes are methodically arranged in superimposed rows where the average number of cigarettes stored in each tray being from 3,000 to 4,000 cigarettes.
  • the loading of the packer is effected by inverting the trays to permit the cigarettes therein to descend by gravity from the tray into the hopper and remain parallel to each other during their free fall.
  • the problem of feeding cigarettes to the packer hopper assumes increasingly greater importance. It should be noted that if the packer has a very high output rate, the cigarettes contained in the hopper will be processed very quickly. In practice, as soon as the cigarettes of the feeding tray have completely moved into the hopper, the tray must be replaced as quickly as possible with a full one. In fact, during the replacement of an empty tray with a full tray, the cigarette level in the hopper continues to descend and, if the replacement is not done quickly, the entering cigarettes, from the new tray, will have to fall a relatively long distance before reaching the cigarettes in the hopper. If the cigarettes are required to experience a free fall of any substantial distance, the maintenance of the parallelism of the cigarettes becomes difficult. In other words, the cigarettes could be positioned in the hopper in a disorderly manner and prevent the packer from operating correctly. Consequently, it is absolutely essential that cigarette feeding trays be replaced quickly for the correct operation of high speed packers.
