Device and method for manufacturing a continuous strand for the tobacco industry

摘要

The device has a suction strand conveyor (11) staying in active connection with a suction chamber (12) along a manufacturing path. The conveyor is guided around a pressure disk in a strand inlet region of lower and upper dimensioning devices (21, 24) forming the strand. A compressed air nozzle (36) is arranged upstream of the disk in a region of the conveyor on a side of the conveyor. The disk includes air ducts with openings on a circumferential surface of the disk. The ducts are inclinedly arranged in an angle to a radial of the disk and in or against a strand conveyor direction. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a continuous strand for a tobacco industry.
