Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de récupération de paquets de cigarettes triés, présentant certains signes de qualité. L'objectif de cette invention est de mettre en oeuvre une procédure de récupération finale des valeurs présentées par les paquets de cigarettes à trier ou triés, dans laquelle le nombre d'opérations manuelles coûteuses est sensiblement réduit. A cet effet, ledit procédé comprend des étapes principales, à savoir l'acheminement (1) de paquets de cigarettes vers et/ou depuis une zone de tri (13), cet acheminement s'effectuant dans le respect d'une position définie desdits paquets, le maintien et/ou réglage (2) d'une position de transport des paquets depuis ladite zone de tri (13) et le transport (3) des paquets de cigarettes en position stable. Ce procédé comprend également des étapes supplémentaires, à savoir le pré-enregistrement (8) de signes de qualité (65), l'élimination (9) des signes de qualité (65) et le post-enregistrement (10) des signes de qualité éliminés (66). Selon la présente invention, ces étapes de pré-enregistrement (8) de signes de qualité (65), d'élimination (9) des signes de qualité (65) et de post-enregistrement (10) des signes de qualité éliminés (66) sont exécutées pendant le transport (3) des paquets de cigarettes (18), de sorte que, dans une zone de récupération (16), une mise en valeur (11) des deux enregistrements (8, 10) peut être réalisée par le biais d'une récupération (12) des valeurs prédéfinies.
