Problems solved by technology

The risk of clogging is further increased when the product has an inhomogeneous mass distribution, precisely if the center of the mass of the product is in the product section with a smaller diameter
Where a section of items with a smaller diameter is malleable and thus when items are stacked on top of each other, may settle into adjacent items due to gravity, thus increasing the nesting of items on one side and thus increasing the stacking angle, The effect is further increased by

Embodiment Construction

[0095] figure 1A prior art feeding apparatus 10 is shown for feeding a plurality of aerosol-generating articles, such as smoking articles, from an upstream manufacturing process to a downstream packaging apparatus. The feeding apparatus 10 comprises a stacking channel 12 comprising an upstream end 14 into which a continuous supply of aerosol-generating articles 16 is received from an upstream manufacturing process. The aerosol-generating article 16 falls downwardly through the stacking channel 12 under the force of gravity and exits the downstream end 18 of the stacking channel 12 into the hopper 20 . At the base of the hopper 20, the aerosol-generating articles 16 descend through individual feed channels 22 from which they are fed into downstream packaging equipment (not shown).

[0096] as in figure 1 As shown in , the maximum height of the stack of aerosol-generating articles 16 in the stacking channel 12 is the same as the length 24 of the vertical stacking channel 12 be...

Abstract

Provided is a method of feeding rod-shaped consumer goods (16) to a packing apparatus. The method comprises providing a plurality of rod-shaped consumer goods (16) to an upstream end (14) of a stacking channel (112), and feeding the plurality of rod-shaped consumer goods (16) along the stacking channel (112) to a downstream end (18) of the stacking channel (112). The upstream end (14) of the stacking channel (112) is higher than the downstream end (18) in the vertical direction (115), and at least a portion of the stacking channel (112) extends at an angle of between 25 degrees and 75 degrees with respect to the vertical direction (115). The method further comprises receiving the plurality of rod-shaped consumer goods (16) into a hopper (20) from the downstream end (18) of the stacking channel (112), and distributing the plurality of rod-shaped consumer goods (16) from the hopper (20) into a packing apparatus.

Description

[0001] This application is a branch of a Chinese invention patent application with the national application number 201580049000.3, the international application number PCT / EP2015 / 071450, the application date is September 18, 2015, and the title is "Method for supplying rod-shaped consumer goods to packaging equipment". case application. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a method of supplying rod-shaped consumer goods to packaging equipment. The invention also relates to a feeding device for feeding rod-shaped consumer goods to a packaging device. Background technique [0003] Handling of rod-shaped consumer goods can present several challenges in high-speed manufacturing processes. For example, aerosol-generating articles such as filter cigarettes are typically made from at least two cylindrical articles such as a tobacco rod and a filter. During the manufacture of an aerosol-generating article, such as a filter cigarette, two cylindrical articles a...
