Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3315032A1] This invention relates to a conveyor drum (1) for groups (100) comprising two coaxial cigarette segments (101) separated by at least one double filter (102) comprising at least one fragile filter element (103). The conveyor drum (1) comprises a peripheral mantle (7) provided with a plurality of receiving portions (8) distributed along the periphery of the mantle (7) and each defining a concave suction flute (8a) for housing a respective group (100). Each receiving portion (8) has, only in a part of it designed to receive the double filter (102), at least one high-compliance section (9) designed to house the at least one fragile filter element (103) and configured to allow geometric displacement of the fragile filter element (103) in a radial direction during a step of applying a plug wrap 3a on the respective group (100) by an applicator roller (3).
