The manufacturing process of cigarettes at home

The manufacturing process of cigarettes at home

                          

  

  Machine for rolling cigarettes (Figs. 1 and 2) consists of a pad, on which the twisting and wrapping in cigarette paper and the tobacco portion to the roller frame and fabric tape mounted on the base.

Fig. 1 The machine assembly:

1 - Tobacco;

2 - tissue paper;

3 - "spatula" for adhesive;

4 - Pads.

                                              Fig. 2 Construction machines :

                                                       1 - frame ;

                                                       2 - tape ;

                                                       3 - shoe;

                                                       4 - base;

                                                       5 - movie.

Block harvested from dry lime-tree or aspen boards , wood thickness of 15-20 mm , which is treated with a jigsaw with an allowance of 1.2 mm and glued under pressure with white glue . Shoe width is determined by the desired length of a cigarette (you can make some pads if you want to make cigarettes of different lengths ) .

Base ( Fig. 3) machine is made of steel or aluminum sheet with a thickness of 2 mm. When folding pay attention to the parallel edges of the base. For the latter , in general , it is best to find a suitable piece of sill . The holes in the base and block better to drill into the assembly , after adjusting pads to the base. In this case, every one of the holes do perpendicular body cars of the future ( or instead of cigarettes will turn any " goat legs ").

Frame ( Fig. 4) machine is made of 2 mm steel sheet. In the frame securing clip ledding which machined from bar silverfish diameter of 8-10 mm or is made of steel tube of the same diameter .

 After installing the framework and the pads on the bottom surface of the pads finally brought up to standard with chisels , files and sandpaper.

 Pay particular attention to the treatment of the surface of the pad area , which made ​​the formation of cigarettes : the gap between the roller and the surface of the pad there should be no more than 1 mm. 

Fabric tape width equal to the width of strip, cut from a thin dense synthetic material by soldering . At the end of the tape is folded loop length of 35-40 mm . Formed loops are used for fastening the fingers on a typewriter ribbon that make nails with a diameter of 3.5 - 4 mm. The total length of the belt is 270 mm .

Work on the machine is as follows.
 The frame is set to the left ( the drawing ) a position in which ledding movie is based on a projection pads . In the recess formed in the fabric tape lay tobacco portion to the top pad is placed on the fabric sheet of tissue paper edge is slightly smeared with glue " spatula " of the razor blade.
 After that, the frame is transferred to the extreme right ( drawing by the same) position and ready- rolled cigarette on the table (or in a specially designed box .)

Then, all manufactured cigarettes should be a little dry and can be consumed.

As the adhesive is suitable liquid starch paste .

The holes for the fingers in the block are used to adjust the depth of the recess in the film , which serves to lay the tobacco portion , which to some extent determines the " caliber" of cigarettes. Along the way, we note that the diameter of the standard round of cigarettes is 7.62 mm . In this case, " caliber " basically determined by the dose of tobacco. Therefore, in the process of making cigarettes desirable to find some measuring container that will greatly simplify and speed up the process of making cigarettes .
