CONVEYOR BELT FOR THE TRANSPORT OF A TOBACCO ROD

摘要

An air-permeable circulating conveyor belt for the transport of a tobacco rod in a cigarette rod machine comprises warp threads (31) arranged parallel to each other and sections (30a) of weft threads (30) arranged parallel to each other, the intersection points thereof lying within a regular grid. At least one warp thread (31) and/or at least one weft thread (30) comprise at least one carrier fibre and at least one melting fibre. The connection points (32) formed from the intersection points by fusion are arranged in a linear manner. As a result, by selective bonding of the weft threads to the warp threads, the detachment of individual fibre particles can be prevented with no reduction in the air permeability of the belt. ……
