Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3363302A1] This invention relates to a machine (1) for making at least one continuous rod (100) of filter material (F) or tobacco (T), comprising a pre-forming device (3) adapted to receive at least one semi-finished, continuous stream (101) in order to make at least one continuous stream (102). The pre-forming device 3 comprises: - at least one oblong tile-shaped member (10) having an inside surface (10') which is configured to progressively reduce the transverse cross section of the semi-finished, continuous stream (101) feeding along it and to channel it into a forming channel (5) of a garniture tongue (4) along which the at least one continuous rod (100) is progressively formed; and - at least one connecting member (12) blending the tile-shaped member (10) with the forming channel (5) and having an inside surface (12') which blends smoothly with the inside surface (10') of the tile-shaped member (10) in such a way as to allow the semi-finished, continuous stream (101) to be progressively compacted.
