ABSTRACT:
A filter rod making machine discharges several parallel filter rods which move lengthwise and are severed at regular intervals to yield files of axially aligned filter rod sections. Such sections are transported axially to a first transfer station where they enter discrete flutes in the concave upper side of one of several rotary platforms which orbit about the axis of a rotary carrier and are rotated relative to the carrier by crank drives so that the orientation of their flutes remains unchanged. The flutes of a platform which arrives at the first station receive discrete filter rod sections from each of the files so that each platform accumulates a group of parallel sections which are transported to a second station for transfer into successive peripheral flutes of a rotary drum-shaped removing conveyor. The second station is located at a level above the first station and the position of the drum-shaped conveyor with reference to the flutes arriving at the second station is such that successive sections which leave the flutes of a platform moving past the second station are aspirated into successive flutes of the removing conveyor by moving sideways, the same as with the flutes of the removing conveyor. The carrier for the platforms rotates about an axis which is inclined to the vertical, and the flutes of the platforms are located in horizontal planes, the same as the filter rod sections which arrive at the first station.
