Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2092839A2] The system (1) has a main shaft (17) for operating components such as gear wheels, gear belts, auxiliary shafts (18), blade holder (20), piston rod drive, tape reel, longitudinal rods and idler gear (24) of a strand machine. The components are provided as two groups of components. A transmission ratio between the shaft and one group is changed for changing format of an item i.e. cigarette, cut into sections on a strand produced by the strand machine. A transmission (26) e.g. 2-gear transmission, is provided between the main shaft and the group. An independent claim is also included for a method for operating a strand machine for the tobacco processing industry.
