Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2080440A2] The device has a transporting unit (12), which is movably supported and comprising an engagement surface (12a). A filter tow (8) is temporarily brought in engagement with the engagement surface for transporting along a displacement path. A wiper flange (30) is arranged proximate to the surface of the unit outside the path of the filter tow to detach parts of the filter tow from the surface. The parts are adhered on the surface, and the flange comprises a suction air duct with a suction opening, which is provided in a direction of motion of the unit and to the tow. An independent claim is also included for a device for preparing a filter tow for manufacturing a raw material i.e. filter tipped cigarette.
