Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette packaging equipment, in particular to a FOCKE-FX packaging machine FPI rejection cylinder support. Background Art

[0002] The FOCKE-FX high-speed packaging machine, with a production capacity of 700 packs per minute, is a high-speed rigid cigarette packaging machine manufactured by FOCKE, Germany. To ensure production quality, defective packs must be identified and removed before they enter the next stage. Therefore, the machine is equipped with a rejection mechanism. During the transport process, defective packs are identified by the FPI system and then ejected by a rejection cylinder into a waste channel, preventing them from entering the next stage and impacting production quality.

[0003] During the rejection process, the original machine design suffered from inaccurate and incomplete rejection, posing quality risks such as defective cigarette packs entering downstream machines or incomplete rejection, leading to pack jams and even machine downtime. Investigations revealed that the root cause of the inaccurate rejection was deformation or displacement of some joints after the packaging machine had been in use for too long, resulting in inaccurate ejection of the reject cylinder. Furthermore, the appearance of produced cigarette packs varied according to production needs, causing the ejection position of the reject cylinder to misalign. Currently, the reject cylinder is installed in a fixed position, making it impossible to adjust the ejection position according to actual needs. To address this issue, it was necessary to design an FPI reject cylinder support for the FOCKE-FX packaging machine to ensure rejection accuracy and improve the continuous operation rate of the equipment.
