Abstract
For supplying production and packaging machines, in particular for supplying lines (10, 11) for producing and packaging cigarettes, an intermediate store (12) is provided for storing packaging material, to be precise for pallets (20) with reels (18) of web-like material. Pallets (20) with the packaging material are fed to the intermediate store (12) by a pallet conveyor (28). A separate reel conveyor (48) transports reels (18), as required, to the individual machines and subassemblies of the lines (10, 11).
Claims16
Arrangement for supplying production and packaging machines with expendable material or packaging material that are wound as reels (18), supplied on pallets (20) and distributed to the production and packaging machines, characterized by the following features:
- a) a machine comprising at least two lines (10, 11) for producing and packaging cigarettes,
- b) an intermediate store (12) for storing packaging material reels (18) located adjacent to the machine and containing at least one pallet (20) of packaging material reels for processing in the machine,
- c) a pallet conveyor (28) for conveying pallets (20) on which one type of reel (18) is present to the intermediate store (12), and
- d) a reel conveyor (48) for transporting individual reels of the one type of reel (18) from the intermediate store (12) to the machine that is to be supplied with the reel (18),
- wherein the pallet conveyor (28) and the reel conveyor (48) are separate devices, and the conveying of the pallets (20) to the intermediate store (12) and the transporting of the individual reels (18) take place independently from one another.
Arrangement for supplying production and packaging machines with expendable material or packaging material that are wound as reels (18), supplied on pallets (20) and distributed to the production and packaging machines, characterized by the followign features:
- a) a machine comprising at least two lines (10, 11) for producing and packaging cigarettes,
- b) an intermediate store (12) for storing packaging material reels (18) located adjacent to the machine and containing at least one pallet (20) of packaging material reels for processing in the machine,
- c) a pallet conveyor (28) for conveying pallets (20) on which one type of reel (18) is present to the intermediate store (12), and
- d) a reel conveyor (48) for transporting individual reels of the one type of reel (18) from the intermediate store (12) to the machine that is to be suppliedwith the reel (18),
- wherein
- the pallet conveyor (28) is designed as an overhead conveyor with a traveling carriage (29) that can be displaced along an elevated running rail (30) and on which there is arranged a lifting mechanism (31) for moving a securing means (33) for pallets (20) up and down,
- the pallet conveyor (28) is assigned to a plurality of intermediate stores (12) and is equipped with packaging material and/or pallets (20) in the region of a common central store,
- the pallet conveyor (28) and reel conveyor (48) run through the common transfer station (25) of the intermediate store (12) along parallel movement paths, and
- the reel conveyor (48) is guided through the transfer station (25) by way of a transverse section (58) which connects two conveying sections (55, 56) to one another.
Arrangement for supplying production and packaging machines with expendable material or packaging material, in particular material webs which are wound as reels (18), supplied on pallets (20) and distributed (individually) to the production and packaging machines, characterized by the following features:
- a) a machine comprising at least two lines (10, 11) for producing and packaging cigarettes,
- b) an intermediate store (12) for storing packaging material reels (18) located adjacent to the machine and containing at least one pallet (20) of packaging material reels for processing in the machine,
- c) a pallet conveyor (28) for conveying pallets (20) on which one type of reel (18) is present to the intermediate store (12), and
- d) a reel conveyor (48) for transporting individual reels of the one type of reel (18) from the intermediate store (12) to the machine that is to be suppliedwith the reel (18),
- wherein
- the reel conveyor (48) is an open-ended overhead conveyor with a traveling mechanism (50), which can be displaced on an elevated running rail (49), and a reel carrier (53), which can be moved up and down by a lifting means (51) and is intended for receiving at least a single reel (18),
- the pallet conveyor (28) and reel conveyor (48) run through the common transfer station (25) of the intermediate store (12) along parallel movement paths, and
- the reel conveyor (48) is guided through the transfer station (25) by way of a transverse section (58) which connects two conveying sections (55, 56) to one another.
