ABSTRACT:
A cigarette filler rod forming apparatus includes a cylindrical vacuum wheel of diameter greater than the width of the chute confining the relatively wide stream rotatable about a horizontal axis, and having a recessed air-permeable and tobacco-impermeable surface on which the filler rod is formed and conveyed. A plurality of substantially arcuately arranged shallow cylindrical disc members is positioned adjacent the end of the chute across the width thereof and adjacent an arcuate length of the periphery of the vacuum wheel for forming a plurality of narrow substreams of tobacco thereon from the tobacco particles of the relatively wide stream and conveying the substreams to the recessed surface of the cylindrical vacuum wheel for formation of the filler rod thereon by gentle intact layering of the narrow substreams one on another. The filler wrapper means is provided in rod-flow relationship with the vacuum wheel to receive the filler rod from the recessed surface for compression and wrapping to form a continuous cigarette rod.
