Abstract (en)

A machine for manufacturing composite filters comprises two garniture sections (6) generating respective continuous rods (15) of composite filters (2) consisting in a succession of filter plugs (5), extending along substantially parallel predetermined longitudinal feed directions (X1, X2), a station (43) located along the two garniture sections (6), at which the continuous rods (15) are formed, and a cyclic rotary cutter head (44) serving both garniture sections (6), by which the two continuous rods (15) are segmented on a cutting line (T) to produce single composite filters (2). The machine further comprises means (46) of regulating the axial position of corresponding filter plugs (5) in each of the continuous rods (15) relative to the cyclic cutter head (44), in such a way as to realign the two rods (15) in the event of a misalignment between one and the other.
