Abstract: To avoid glue contamination on cigarettes, create even glue line and convenient cigarette size change, a tipping paper gluing system was designed with a high speed solenoid valve-based glue gun. The system contains an electric control system to control the pressure and amount of glue, and realizes the precise control of gluing size and rapid cigarette size change, besides, it is automatic cleaning and maintaining. The test results in a ZJ116A cigarette maker showed that:the gluing system was applicable to the high speed of 16 000 cig/min, the errors of side seam and the length and width of glue-free zone were all ≤ 0.25%. The system produced sharp glue patterns, reliable filter assembly without filter loosening or missing, and good cigarette appearance. This system provides a support for the design and development of high speed cigarette maker.
