ABSTRACT:
In the production of composite filter rod, from which composite filters for attachment to tobacco sections to form filter cigarettes are obtained, groups of alternating filter portions of different materials are fed along a path which diverges from the path of a feed member so that the groups are conveyed with a reducing component velocity. The filter portions pass into a garniture in which a continuous rod is formed and the feed member is synchronized with a continuous rod cut-off so that the rod is cut at predetermined positions in relation to its component filter portions.
