Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0930023A1] Empty or tobacco-filled tubes are continuously conveyed from a production machine to a tobacco-feeder-area (15,27) where the tube is enclosed in a line of tobacco. A meter for assessing the slack of the tube (1) is positioned between the production machine and feeder area. The tube is conveyed at an angle into a first zone (15) of a suction-belt (16) on which a thin layer of tobacco is placed, and then to a second adjacent zone (27) where a further covering of tobacco on the pipe and tobacco layer is provided. A leveler (22) evens out the tobacco layer (14). An Independent claim is also included for the apparatus used for producing a line of cigarettes with tubular inserts.
