ABSTRACT:
A cigarette making machine has a carpet-forming apparatus comprising a rotary spreading device which delivers tobacco with a winding action into an annular space between a rotary drum and a surrounding casing. Thus, a carpet is built up in the annular space and this carpet is continuously fed out of the annular space in a tangential direction. The spreading device rotates several times faster than the drum and therefore smooths or averages out the effect of variations in the physical characteristics of the tobacco. The carpet is used to form a cigarette filler stream, for example by showering the tobacco from the carpet onto a band moving transversely to the carpet, so that each section of the filler stream includes tobacco particles obtained from various positions across the width of the carpet.
