Abstract (en)

[origin: DE3304131A1] A cigarette transfer device which comprises a temporary container (13) with a plurality of conveyors which are driven with increasing speed in the conveying direction, namely a reception conveyor (22), an intermediate conveyor (24) and a discharging conveyor (23) is used for transporting cigarettes to a packaging machine when the cigarettes are delivered intermittently, especially in trays (11). A continuous flow (26) of cigarettes is formed inside the temporary container (13), reductions in the cross-section (trough 39) being compensated for as a result of the uninterrupted supply of cigarettes in the case of continuous delivery to the packaging machine by controlled driving of the conveyors. <IMAGE>
