Embodiment Construction

[0013] see figure 1 , reference numeral 1 designates a machine for manufacturing sachets 2 comprising non-cohesive material.

[0014] The machine 1 comprises an output station 2 at which the non-cohesive material is released to a conveyor 3 which is rotatable between the output station 2 and a transfer station 4 where it is ejected Successive tobacco sections.

[0015] The machine 1 also includes a packing station 5, the full description of which is disclosed in the applicant's Italian patent application n° BO2006A 000792, filed on November 22, 2006, where the tobacco fraction ejected from the transfer station is received and seal it in the corresponding pouch.

[0016] The output station 2 comprises a take-up, preliminary treatment and feeding unit 6 by which the non-cohesive material is received from a hopper (not shown) and released to the above-mentioned conveyor 3 .

[0017] The collection unit 6 comprises a distribution wheel 7 having pockets 8 delimited by radial bla...

Abstract

Machines manufacturing pouches of a smokeless tobacco product or other cohesionless material, and systems for portioning and packaging tobamel type smoking mixtures, can be fitted with a flushing device that uses a number of spray nozzles (12, 31) positioned in close proximity to units (6, 30) by which the smokeless and smoking tobacco products are conveyed and processed; with the machine or system in operation, a cleansing fluid held in a tank (14, 33) is supplied under pressure to the nozzles (12, 31) by a pump (15, 34) and directed onto internal parts of the units (6, 30) in order to remove deposits of the product that tend to accumulate in the course of the processing steps, and thus avoid the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance stoppages.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a flushing apparatus suitable for use in machines for the manufacture of individual pouches or pouches of non-cohesive material, especially snuff or oral snuff (also commonly known as smus) sachets, and with Systems for the treatment of tobacco mixtures prepared with syrup or honey and other oily substances used as humectants and flower or fruit essential oils as flavoring agents. [0002] In the following description, explicit reference is made to tobacco, without implying any limitation of the scope of protection, since non-cohesive materials may similarly be, for example, powdered pharmaceutical or confectionery products treated with a humidifying agent, as well as those commonly used in waterpipes ( Tobacco syrup or tobamel smoked in a shisha, hookah, narghile. Background technique [0003] For the production of snus in sachets, the prior art consists of machines of the type comprising a unit for taking up, through...
