Products for Cigarette Rod making
The nozzle side seam adhesive applicator was developed by Kaymich to apply synthetic resin emulsion based adhesive in place of the wheel and starch based system. This represented a radical movement away from the then accepted method of cigarette manufacturing. Today an estimated 90% of the world's cigarettes are manufactured using Kaymich technology.
CSS1000 Cigarette Side Seam Adhesive Applicator (Gravity)
The system incorporates the well proven Kaymich gravity nozzle applicator, having a diaphragm seal eliminating adhesive entering the working parts of the applicator. This nozzle applicator is usually mounted on an automatic retracting stand which moves the nozzle away from the ledger when the parent machine is not making cigarettes. The retracting stand also controls the valve opening sequence and offers micro adjustment of the nozzle position.
A "vacuum effect" caused by the cigarette paper travelling over the nozzle at relatively high linear speed draws adhesive through the system. As a consequence, adhesive flow rises as paper speed increases. It has been demonstrated that the "vacuum effect" has greater influence over the eventual flow rate than the gravitational head produced by the tank, within the range of working speed of the system.
Features
- Easysetting with horizontal and vertical micro adjustment.
- Forward travel is complete before adhesive is applied.
- Applicator immediately closes and stand retracts in an upward sweeping arc on machine shut down.
- Manual override for easy flow checks and setting.
- Integral shorts blower removes tobacco shorts from seam of rod prior to the application of adhesive.
Benefits
- Improves quality. Accurate application of adhesive proportional to machine speed ensures a clean lap with the minimum of adhesive.
- Reduces costs. Lower heater bar settings and more effective use of adhesive means that production costs are less.
- Increases productivity. No moving parts whilst operational means that the Kaymich Side Seam Adhesive Application System requires little maintenance - and so enables you to increase your productivity.
- Minimal maintenance. No moving parts during operation.
- Carbide coated nozzle. Provides a longer working life.
- Versatile. Ability to be fitted to all types of making machines to handle most types of cigarette paper and adhesive without any reduction in machine speed.

CSS1000 - Cigarette Side Seam Adhesive Application System - Positive Pump Feed
The Pump Feed System was developed to allow cigarette manufacturers greater flexibility in the material they can use including liquid natural starch adhesives.
Features
- Positive feed of adhesive via a non re-circulating surge free pump.
- Adhesive application directly proportional to machine speed.
- Facility to increase/decrease adhesive flow whilst operational.
- Independent electronic control module featuring latest technology LCD display.
Benefits
- Increased productivity Consistent, accurate application means fewer rod break outs - even at very high speed. The pump has no seals to wear out, requiring little maintenance and few spares to stock. Spend more time making and less time cleaning. The fully enclosed system can be left overnight without needing daily cleaning or wasting unused adhesive.
- Reduces costs Accurate control enables you to employ the minimum amount of adhesive you require to achieve the lap security you require.
- This reduces not only adhesive consumption but also the heater bar settings, reducing energy costs.
- Improves quality
Total control over adhesive application ensures a
top quality seam - regardless of speed.
System Description
The
Kaymich Positive Pump Feed System has been developed to provide precise
control for aqueous dispersion adhesive or natural liquid starch
adhesive application on high speed production units. Over recent years,
making machine speeds have increased dramatically and the necessity for
precise, adjustable adhesive control has become increasingly important.
The
Positive Pump Feed System incorporates a number of special features and
is capable of applying a wide range of adhesives with both low and high
viscosities. Adhesive flow is proportional to machine speed and
displayed, easy adjustment providing the facility to match adhesives to
machine performance nad paper specifications. These features eliminate
gluing problems and enhance performance at production speeds up to
14,000 cpm single track.
At the heart of the
system is a precision micro-miniature stainless steel pump, driven by
an infinitely variable stepper motor, This pump gives greater
resolution than alternative conventional pumps.
A
magnetic coupling between motor and pump eliminates the requirement for
seals, thus ensuring trouble free operation at all times, with the
minimum of maintenance and spare parts.
Adhesive
is applied by the well proven Kaymich nozzle applicator, having a
diaphragm seal eliminating adhesive entering the working parts of the
applicator. This nozzle applicator is mounted on an automatic
retracting stand which moves the nozzle away from the ledger when the
parent machine is not producing cigarettes. The retracting stand also
controls the valve opening sequence and offers micro-adjustment of the
nozzle position.
Suitable for fitment to the following machines:
Decouflè: LOF, LOG, LOGA, 3D
Hauni: All of the versions of the Protos up to the Protos 1000
Molins: All Molins Machines
All systems are designed specifically for the host machine. To retrofit the Positive Pump Feed System to an existing gravity Kaymich installation please contact Kaymich. For all other machines please contact Kaymich.
