Abstract: Conveying facility for conveying cell stacks formed by segments for the energy cell-producing industry, comprising several transport vehicles which can be moved individually and are each equipped to transport a cell stack, wherein a pick-up region is provided which has at least two transfer stations at which the cell stacks are provided to be picked up by the transport vehicles or at which the segments are stacked onto the transport vehicles to form cell stacks, wherein each transfer station comprises its own cell stacking apparatus which is equipped to combine the segments into cell stacks having a pre-defined cell stack height; a delivery region which is spatially distanced from the pick-up region is provided, in which delivery region the cell stack received in the pick-up region is removed from the transport vehicle; and a control device is provided which is equipped to individually control and/or regulate the movement speed and/or the movement route of the transport vehicles loaded with the cell stacks be

Abstract: Cutting apparatus for cutting segments for energy cells from a continuous web fed into an intermediate space in a cutting plane, having a cutting rotating device which is driven in rotary movement around a rotational axis by the means of a driving device, is arranged on one side of the intermediate space and has at least one cutting blade projecting radially outwards from an interface of the cutting rotating device and at least one counter blade arranged on the other side of the intermediate space, wherein the cutting blade and the counter blade each have a cutting edge, characterised in that the cutting blade comes to rest with its cutting edge in a point-like contact on the cutting edge of the counter blade during the rotary movement of the cutting rotating device, and is thereby aligned at an angle of not equal to zero degrees in relation to the cutting edge of the counter blade, wherein the cutting edge of the cutting blade slides on the cutting edge of the counter blade during the rotary movement of the

Abstract: A device for removing or branching-off product segments from a product flow in the energy-cell manufacturing industry, characterised in that the device has at least one switchable dispenser which is set up to remove a product segment from the product flow as a result of a switch signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for conveying transverse axially rod-shaped articles of the tobacco-processing industry. The device includes at least one fluted conveyor device with flutes for the articles. In this manner, the width of the flutes is greater than the diameter of the articles and the flutes respectively have at least one suction boring that can be acted on with a vacuum for holding the articles by a vacuum at a position in the flute.

Abstract: The invention relates to a conveying drum for articles in the tobacco-processing industry. The conveying drum includes displacement means for moving articles, that are aligned in a longitudinal axial direction relative to each other and are supplied cross-axially in at least one row to the conveying drum, wherein the displacement means includes an electric drive. The invention furthermore relates to the use of an electric drive in a conveying drum, as well as to a machine in the tobacco-processing industry.

Abstract: Apparatus for making rod-shaped tobacco products with a filter that includes a tobacco stick delivery device, a filter delivery device, a covering paper delivery device, a cigarette making device, a cigarette testing device, and a cigarette dispensing device. All the devices, in which each device includes at least one drum, are arranged to form a drum course. A drive element is structured and arranged to drive at least some of the drums of the drum course in positional synchronization with the transport of the rod-shaped tobacco products, and a drum unit is composed of at least one drum, which is not one of the at least some drums, and a bearing and control flange. At least one separate additional drive element is structured and arranged to drive the at least one drum, and a drive unit is composed of the separate drive element and the drum unit. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: A filter-attachment machine in the tobacco-processing industry is provided. The machine has a plurality of conveying devices for products in the tobacco-processing industry, and at least one main drive that drives the plurality of conveying devices. The machine also has a pull-off device for pulling a cover tape ribbon from a cover tape supply, a cover-tape cutting device for cutting the cover tape ribbon into sections of a predetermined length, and at least one secondary drive that drives the pull-off device and the cover-tape cutting device. The cover tape ribbon is conveyed from the pull-off device to the cover-tape cutting device, and the sections of cover tape ribbon are transferred to the products on one of the plurality of conveying devices.
