A new auto-cleaning equipment was designed and applied to the ZJ116A cigarette maker to reduce the frequency caused by “rolling plate jam” and solve the difficulty of cleaning up. The new device cleans the surface of the rolling drum with a brush driven by a motor, and cleans the surface of rolling plate with air controlled by IPC system. Both realized the automatic cleaning function. The“baisha (hard)” brand cigarette was tested on a ZJ116A cigarette maker, the results showed that: After modification, the frequency of rolling plate jam was reduced by 15 times/month, the manual cleaning times on rolling plate was reduced by 16 times/month, the manual cleaning times on rolling drum was reduced by 20 times/month, This method provides a technical support for promoting the efficiency of cigarette makers.
