Abstract (en)

According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a transport jet adapter. The transport jet adapter comprises a first open end defining an opening for receiving a strand-based continuous material and a second open end defining an outlet for supplying the strand-based continuous material to a rod making garniture. Between the first and the second opening, there is provided passageway for passing the strand-based continuous material through the transport jet adapter. The passageway is defined by the inner surface of the wall connecting the first and the second open end of the transport jet adapter. The inner surface of the transport jet adapter comprises a plurality of specifically designed rifled edges. The rifled edges are twisted about the longitudinal axis of the passageway at a predefined twist rate and are thus capable of twisting the strand-based continuous material about its longitudinal axis.
