Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1454542A1] A method and unit (2) for simultaneously forming multiple tobacco mats (3) on a multiple-rod cigarette manufacturing machine (1), whereby an input stream (7) of shredded tobacco is fed to a switch conduit (22) selectively alignable with the inputs of at least two downflow conduits (9), each of which communicates via a respective carding assembly (10) with a respective upflow conduit (17) closed by a respective conveyor belt (4) for a respective tobacco mat (3); the switch conduit (22) being switched between positions selectively aligned with the downflow conduits (9) in response to a command signal generated in function of the tobacco level in the downflow conduits (9). <IMAGE>
