TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to tobacco processing equipment technical field, concretely relates to a triacetin quick switching device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the tobacco processing industry, KDF2 type filter stick making machine is one of the key equipment for producing high quality filter stick. The device needs to add triacetin (hereinafter referred to as "plasticizer") to filter stick material to improve its flexibility and plasticity in the filter stick forming process. However, with the increasing diversification of market demand for filter stick varieties, the existing KDF2 type filter stick making machine exposes a series of problems in the plasticizer application, especially in the plasticizer quick switching scene of multi-variety filter stick production.
[0003] The plasticizer application device of the existing KDF2 type filter stick making machine generally adopts parallel design of large and small double storage boxes. Although this design provides flexibility in plasticizer storage and switching to a certain extent, it also brings complex pipeline structure. Whenever it is necessary to switch the production of different varieties of filter stick, the operator must thoroughly clean the two liquid storage tanks and their connecting pipelines to prevent cross contamination between different plasticizers. However, this cleaning process not only takes a long time (about 40-60 minutes / time), but also greatly affects the overall efficiency of the production line.
[0004] In addition, the existing cleaning scheme also has serious problems in raw material waste. In order to completely empty the residual liquid, the plasticizer in the liquid storage tank needs to be almost completely emptied each time, which results in an average loss of 2-3 kilograms of triacetin each time. In a long production cycle, this waste not only increases the production cost, but also causes unnecessary burden to the environment.
[0005] More seriously, the manual cleaning method has a significant risk of cross contamination. Due to the blind area in the cleaning process, the residual material is difficult to be completely removed, which may cause the problem of cross smell of different batches of products.
[0006] In view of the above problems, the company's existing solution is to empty the liquid storage tank first, then add 30 liters of alcohol with a concentration of more than 95% for 30 minutes of circulating cleaning, and then add 30 liters of triacetin for 30 minutes of circulating cleaning after emptying. Although this scheme can reduce the risk of cross contamination to a certain extent, its shortcomings are also obvious: on the one hand, high concentration of alcohol not only increases the risk in the cleaning process, but also the whole cleaning process is still a serious waste; on the other hand, frequent shutdown for cleaning also seriously affects the continuity and stability of production.
[0007] Therefore, in view of the requirement of quick switching of plasticizer for KDF2 type filter rod making machine in multi-species filter rod production, an improved technology of a more efficient, environmentally friendly and safe plasticizer application device is needed to solve the problems of complex pipeline structure, raw material waste, cross contamination risk and poor compatibility of additives of the existing equipment.
