METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING A MATERIAL TO A WIDE HIGH-SPEED WEB

摘要

A high-speed apparatus (2) for applying material to cigarette paper during manufacture uses at least two independently operable, moving orifice devices (10,10') , each positioned to deposit horizontal bands of material on a paper web (22) at the dry end of a Fourdrinier wire (6). The resulting web may be cut into multiple webs, each web having a width corresponding to the effective width of a moving orifice device. The apparatus can simultaneously produce both banded and unhanded paper for wrapping tobacco during cigarette manufacturing.
