The Modular Linear Composite Machine utilizes linear composite technology to divide base rods of various specifications into short rods according to requirements. These short rods are transported via a chain conveyor and turned sequentially by a rotary disk, then placed onto the suction belt in an orderly manner with a certain gap between each segment. Different types of short rods are alternated in the required sequence.
The filter rods move continuously at high speed and are aligned and compacted by a gap-closing device. They are then delivered to the garniture for rolling and shaping, where adhesive is applied to form continuous rod strands. The strands are cut into individual composite filter rods by a cutting head.
Using an acceleration wheel, the composite filter rods are transferred to the capture wheel in the output unit. During this process, defective filter rods are rejected. The qualified composite filter rods are then transported to the rod collector or tray loading system.
