Advanced Cigarette Tongue for Optimal Tobacco Strand Compression

Product Overview

The cigarette tongue, a core and crucial component in the cigarette machine's rolling and forming system, acts like an unsung yet vital hero, playing an irreplaceable role in the cigarette production process. It is typically installed between the high-pressure thread catcher and the cigarette gun of the cigarette machine, and its unique structural design lays a solid foundation for the efficient and stable operation of cigarette production. In terms of appearance, the overall structure of the cigarette tongue is a gradually shrinking semi-conical groove, which is no accident but has been obtained through numerous practices and optimizations, perfectly matching the needs of the cigarette production process.

Product Advantages

1. Excellent Wear Resistance: Our cigarette tongues are carefully selected in terms of materials, made of high-quality steel, and some models even use high-tech materials such as wear-resistant ceramics or high manganese wear-resistant steel. This ensures that the cigarette tongue can maintain excellent wear resistance when facing high-intensity and high-frequency friction, effectively extending the product's service life. Taking a certain model of cigarette tongue designed for high-intensity production environments as an example, after a long period of actual production testing, its wear resistance has been improved several times compared with ordinary cigarette tongues, which greatly reduces the number of times the equipment needs to be shut down for maintenance due to wear of the cigarette tongue, significantly improves production efficiency, and reduces the production cost of enterprises.
2. Precise Dimensional Accuracy: The dimensional accuracy of the cigarette tongue has a crucial impact on the stability of cigarette quality. We are well aware of this, so in the production process, we have invested a lot of manpower, material resources and advanced technical equipment to strictly control the dimensional accuracy of the cigarette tongue. By adopting high-precision processing technology and advanced testing equipment, we ensure that the size of each cigarette tongue can be accurate to the millimeter or even micrometer level, achieving perfect adaptation with other components of the cigarette machine. Whether it is for conventional cigarettes, or for the production of special specification products such as slim cigarettes and bead filter rods, which have gradually increasing market demand in recent years, our cigarette tongues can rely on their precise dimensional accuracy to provide a solid guarantee for the stable quality of cigarettes.
3. Optimized Structural Design: In order to better meet the needs of different cigarette production processes, our cigarette tongues have unique ingenuity in structural design. Some cigarette tongues adopt an innovative split design, cleverly dividing the cigarette tongue into two parts: the cigarette tongue fixing bracket and the pluggable arc groove module. This design not only makes the replacement and maintenance of parts more convenient and efficient, greatly reducing maintenance costs, but also can flexibly choose modules of different materials for matching according to the actual use situation, further improving the performance of the cigarette tongue. For example, in some production scenarios with extremely high requirements for the wear resistance of the cigarette tongue, pluggable arc groove modules with stronger wear resistance can be selected, while in other scenarios, reasonable adjustments can be made according to actual needs. In addition, some cigarette tongues have been specially optimized in structure. Through the clever setting of air inlets, air outlets and other structures, the secondary wind blowing of the tobacco strand is realized, which effectively breaks up the strand nodes, stretches the strand, slows down the rebound, significantly increases the filling amount of the strand in the filter rod forming process, reduces the retraction rate of the filter rod after forming, and thus greatly improves the quality of cigarette products.
