Abstract
Pouches (2) of a smokeless tobacco product are manufactured on a machine comprising an intermittently rotatable dispensing disc (3) with peripheral cavities (4), a station (5) at which each cavity (4) is filled with a given quantity of tobacco equivalent to a single portion, a push rod mechanism (12) by which the portions of tobacco are ejected from each cavity (4) of the disc (3) at a transfer station (6), and a connecting duct (8) through which the portion of tobacco ejected by the push rod from each cavity passes directly to a wrapping station (7) where the pouches (2) are formed, filled with the tobacco product and sealed.
Claims10
A machine for manufacturing pouches (2) of cohesionless material, comprising a dispensing disc (3) with cavities (4), rotatable about an axis (X), a station (5) at which each cavity (4) is filled with a predetermined portion of cohesionless material, means (13) by which the portion of material is ejected from the dispensing disc (3) at a transfer station (6), a station (7) at which the portion of material is wrapped in a relative pouch (2), and means (9) by which the transfer station (6) and the wrapping station are interconnected,
- characterized
- in that ejection means (13) are embodied as mechanical pushing means (12) designed to engage at least one of the cavities (4).
