Device and method for production of a smoking product tubular element

A device for production of a smoking product tubular element which consists of a set of components for a paper workpiece processing,

• wherein the set of components comprising at least:
• a working table,
• a rotating platform installed on the working table,
• a master form fixed on the working table surface and positioned radially to the rotating platform with a working surface for the paper workpiece positioning,
• wherein the working surface is formed by a first side wall surface, a second side wall surface and a bottom surface,
• a first moving forming unit and a second moving forming unit are placed on the working table radially to the rotating platform,
• wherein the first moving forming unit and the second moving forming unit are formed to cover the master form on two opposite sides,
• wherein the second moving forming unit is equipped with an adhesive composition application unit,
• at least four moving mandrels hinged to the rotating platform by a shaft,
• wherein each of the moving mandrel is designed for rotation in a plane perpendicular to the working table surface,
• wherein each of the moving mandrel is designed with a flat working section for pressing the paper workpiece to the working surface of the master form,
• wherein at least one moving mandrel is equipped with a non-flat shape tip,
• wherein the smoking product tubular element is formed around the moving mandrel in a shape of the flat working section;
• wherein the set of components comprising a first extractor and a second extractor installed on the working table,
• the first extractor is designed for the tubular element longitudinal displacement out of the moving mandrel,
• the second extractor is designed in contact with the non-flat shape tip of each of the moving mandrels.

A method of a smoking product tubular element production by using a set of components for a paper workpiece processing comprising the steps:

• a) placing a paper workpiece above a master form,
• wherein the paper workpiece first side section and a second side section are spaced out of the master form's working surface;
• b) pressing the paper workpiece to the working surface of the master form by using a moving mandrel,
• wherein the working surface is formed by a first side wall surface, a second side wall surface and a bottom surface;
• c) moving a first moving forming unit until contacting the first side section of the paper workpiece;
• d) folding the second side section of the paper workpiece around the moving mandrel's flat working section by moving the second moving forming unit toward the first moving forming unit,
• wherein fixing the first side section between the first and the second moving forming units;
• e) applying an adhesive to the first side section surface of the paper workpiece;
• f) pressing the first side section to the second side section of the paper workpiece by synchronous movement of the first and second moving forming units toward a direction of an initial position of the second moving forming unit;
• g) moving back the first and the second moving forming units;
• h) extracting the moving mandrel together with a formed smoking product tubular element out of the master form;
• i) extracting the formed smoking product tubular element by using of at least one extractor.
