Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of cigarette manufacturing, and particularly to a turret for a strip carton packaging machine and a strip carton packaging machine. Background Art

[0002] A strip carton packaging machine (such as the FOCKE 779 type) is used in the packaging process of tobacco products. This machine can process transparent paper and shape it to ensure the quality and appearance of the cigarette cartons.

[0003] For the FOCKE 779 type strip carton packaging machine, hot melt adhesive is used for pasting the strip cartons. After the strip cartons are output from the paper magazine and sprayed with adhesive by the hot melt adhesive system, they are conveyed upward to the front end of the turret. During the conveying process, glue is likely to accumulate at the rear of the turret, and the maintenance space is narrow, so that hands cannot reach in. When performing maintenance, the turret and related components need to be disassembled. The turret weighs more than 50 KG, and the disassembly is dangerous and complex, often taking more than 2 hours. Moreover, there are important components such as a strip carton end face folder and an arc guide plate at the rear, so the product quality will be directly affected. Summary of the Utility Model
