Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019111166A1] This invention relates to a machine for the production of a continuous rod (C) of the tobacco industry, comprising a forming station (2), adapted to receive a web of wrapping material (I) and a semi-finished product (P) of the tobacco industry. The station (2) comprises a forming beam (4), on which the semi-finished product (P) is disposed on top of the web (I), and is configured to progressively wrap the web (I) round the semi-finished product (P) to define a continuous rod (C). The machine also comprises a detecting station (3) located downstream of the forming beam (4) and comprising at least one electromagnetic detector (5) to detect one or more properties of the semi-finished product (P). The electromagnetic detector (5) is disposed in proximity to a stretch of the rod forming beam (4) upstream of the point where the web of wrapping material is completely wrapped round the semi-finished product (P) so that the electromagnetic detector (5) faces a surface of the semi-finished product (P) which is not yet wrapped completely in the web (I).
