Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3369325A1] A garniture device for a machine used in tobacco industry for manufacturing a continuous rod (CR) comprising a loose material wrapped with a wrapper, wherein the garniture device comprises: a lower garniture part (7); a garniture duct (9) formed in the lower garniture part (7); a garniture belt movable in the garniture duct (9) for transporting the wrapper along the garniture duct (9); an upper garniture part (11) comprising wrappers (11a) for forming the wrapper (101) around the loose material; wherein the garniture duct (9) comprises: an inlet part for transforming the garniture belt from a flat configuration into a U-shaped configuration; a U-shaped part for guiding the garniture belt in the U-shaped configuration; an outlet part for transforming the garniture belt from the U-shaped configuration into the flat configuration; characterized in that: the U-shaped part of the garniture duct (9) comprises, at the side of the inlet part, a first section (9a) having a first diameter (D1) and, at the side of the outlet part, a second section (9b) having a second diameter (D2) being smaller than the first diameter (D1), wherein the first section (9a) is connected to the second section (D2) by a transition section (9c) having a surface of a variable diameter.
