Systems And Methods For Automated Production Of Cigarettes
An enclosed cannabis cigarette preparation system that includes an indexing module configured to accept a plurality of pre-rolled cones, each having a sealed end and an open end, and to move the pre-rolled cones through a plurality of stations. The system further includes a filling module configured to dispense, at a first station, a portion of cannabis shake material into the open end of each of the pre-rolled cones to form loosely filled cones; a tamping module configured to compress, at a second station, the cannabis shake material in each of the loosely filled cones to form tamped cones; a de-clogging module; and a pinching module configured to pinch-twist, at a third station, the open end of each of the pre-rolled cones to form rolled cigarettes.
Claim CLM-00001. 1. An enclosed cigarette preparation system comprising:
an indexing module configured to accept a plurality of pre-rolled cones, each having a sealed end and an open end, and to move the pre-rolled cones through a plurality of stations as instructed by a controller; a filling module configured to dispense, at a first station, a portion of shake material into the open end of each of the pre-rolled cones to form loosely filled cones; a tamping module configured to compress, at a second station, the shake material in each of the loosely filled cones to form tamped cones; and a pinching module configured to pinch-twist, at a third station, the open end of each of the pre-rolled cones to form rolled cigarettes.
Claim CLM-00015. 15. A method for cannabis cigarette preparation, the method comprising:
receiving, within an indexing module, a plurality of pre-rolled cones, each having a sealed end and an open end, and moving the pre-rolled cones through a plurality of stations as instructed by a controller; dispensing, at a first station, a portion of cannabis shake material into the open end of each of the pre-rolled cones to form loosely filled cones; compressing, at a second station, the cannabis shake material in each of the loosely filled cones to form tamped cones; and pinch-twisting, at a third station, the open end of each of the pre-rolled cones to form rolled cigarettes.
