FORMAT SYSTEM AND FORMAT PARTS FOR A ROD-MAKING MACHINE IN THE TOBACCO-PROCESSING INDUSTRY

摘要

The present invention relates to a format system for a rod-making machine in the tobacco-processing industry for forming a rod (1) and wrapping the rod with a wrapping strip (9), comprising a base part (2) extending in the transporting direction of the rod (1), also comprising a format belt (7) which is accommodated in the base part (2), is intended for transporting the wrapping strip and has an inner side (8), an outer side (10), a first periphery (11) and a second periphery (12), which is located opposite the first periphery, and further comprising a covering part (13) which is arranged opposite the base part (2), extends in the transporting direction of the rod and has a guide portion (22, 27, 28), for accommodating the first periphery of the format belt, and a supporting surface (23, 26), for supporting the wrapping strip. The guide portion (22, 27, 28) is offset in relation to the envelope of the supporting surface, as seen in section, at least in a format-system portion which extends in the transporting direction of the rod.
