A Study on Thermal Simulation for Adhesive Curing of Cylindrical Cigarettes

Abstract

In this study, cigarettes, which are an essential element in the production of tobacco, are generally not cylindrical. Themain materials used for cigarettes are generally hemp and pulp. For the production of cylindrical cigarettes, the cigarettesor cylinders are mounted via gluing. This adhesive is a vinyl acetate emulsion, a high-temperature melt adhesive, and isadhered in a cylindrical shape immediately after being linearly applied to the inner surface of the paper roll or a localpart. These adhesives are greatly affected by the atmospheric temperature of the manufacturing space in summer andwinter. In the summer, even if the adhesive is temporarily adhered, the coagulation time of the adhesive is long, andproblems such as deterioration of the adhesive state occur. in the winter, there is a problem that the temperature of themanufacturing space is low and the adhesive force of the adhesive is poor, resulting in defective adhesive products. Inorder to solve these problems, another heat transfer device is utilized to cure the remaining adhesive to ensure higheradhesiveness.
