ABSTRACT:
The distance between the equalizing device and the conveyor which transports a tobacco stream past the equalizing device in a cigarette rod making machine is adjustable in order to change the density of the filler into which the stream is converted as a result of removal of excess tobacco therefrom. The firmness of the filler, which is thereupon confined in a web of cigarette paper, is regulated by changing the ratio of the speed of the conveyor which transports the tobacco stream past the equalizing device to the speed of the conveyor which transports the filler through the draping mechanism. The speed of one of the conveyors is changed in response to signals which are generated by a device for monitoring the firmness of the confined filler, either directly by monitoring the firmness of the filler downstream of the draping mechanism or indirectly by monitoring the quantity of tobacco per unit length of the unconfined filler between the equalizing device and the draping mechanism.
