Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1597979A1] The method involves having a pre-determined filter-cut to length, where filter staffs (100) are taken out of a magazine (20). The filter staffs are inserted in each case into n-multiple (n = 2, 3, 4, ....) filter plug for a pre-determined filter plug length by means of a mechanism (115). A filter plug is cut for a second pre-determined filter plug length by means of a mechanism, with a different length with the number increased or reduced. The filter is cut to length with the change remaining constant. The filter staffs are shiftably arranged in a lengthwise-axial direction of the filter to be cut.
