Abstract (en)

In a twin-track cigarette maker (1) designed to manufacture two continuous cigarette rods at once, shredded tobacco particles entrained in an air current are directed up a channel (11) aligned on a substantially vertical axis (12). The channel (11) forms part of a chimney (13) enclosed at the top end (15) by two aspirating conveyor belts (16) and presenting a lower segment (21) equipped with a mechanism (22) intended to counter a loss of upward momentum tending to occur naturally in the flow of tobacco particles; the mechanism (22) comprises at least two flaps (23) hinged at the bottom and located internally of the channel (11), which are adjustable between a position parallel one with another, and a position converging toward an upper segment (24) of the chimney.
