ABSTRACT:
The production of an elongated filler which is to be densified, wrapped and severed to yield discrete cigarettes is controlled in dependence on the mass flow of the filler after densification and is influenced by a parameter, such as the height, density, flow resistance or capacitance of the filler prior to densification. The control involves selection of the distance between an equalizer which removes the surplus of fibers from a tobacco stream on a conveyor which advances the stream and the filler. The parameter may be monitored at, downstream of or upstream of the equalizer but always upstream of the densifying station. The control signal for the desired position of the equalizer with reference to the conveyor is a function of one or more of the parameters.
