ABSTRACT:
A system for conveying cigarettes in multi-layer stack formation between at least two combinations, each including a cigarette maker (10,10A), packer (14,14A) and buffer reservoir (12,12A), includes an interconnecting conveyor defining a closed loop path (18,20,18A,20A) allowing cigarettes made (or stored) in one combination to pass to the packer of any combination, the arrangement being such that associated with each combination there is an inverted T-junction (16,16A) at which cigarettes are delivered from above to the path from the maker or reservoir, and a further T-junction (22,22A) at which cigarettes are delivered downwards from the path to the packer.
