Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014072953A1] A method and assembly machine (1) for producing multicomponent cigarettes (2), each having a number of portions (3), which have a central axis (X), and of which at least one portion (3) is defined by a filtering element, and at least one portion (3) is defined by an aromatic element; the assembly machine (1)' has a combining unit (CU) for forming groups (4) of portions (3) travelling perpendicularly to their central axis (X); a first wrapping unit (WUi), which receives a succession of groups (4) of portions (3) from the combining unit (CU) and feeds them parallel to their central axis (X); and a second wrapping unit (WU2), which receives a succession of groups (4) of portions (3) from the first wrapping unit (WUi), feeds them perpendicularly to their central axis (X), and winds a sheet of wrapping material (44) about each group (4) of portions (3).
