Abstract (en)

[origin: US5628162A] In a plant for making and packaging cigarettes, comprising a plurality of cigarette-making machines and a plurality of machines for packaging cigarettes in packs, the makers and packers are combined in a number of modules. The output sides of the modules comprising makers and the input sides of the modules comprising packers are arranged in side-by-side relationship and face a central transport track on which driverless, remotely controlled transport vehicles circulate in one direction. Furthermore, there is provided at least one store which is situated at the transport system with at least an input and an output side and which serves as a buffer between the makers and the packers. The transport system is completely isolated from other transport systems with which packaging materials are supplied to the various modules.
