Abstract (en)
A method of manufacturing a rod bearing a metered-amount of an additive material, the method comprising the steps of: providing a continuous material and moving the continuous material along a path; applying a metered-amount of the additive material to the continuous material such that at least a portion of the metered-amount of additive material is fixed to the continuous material; and, collecting excess additive material that has not been fixed to the continuous material. A system for manufacturing a rod bearing a metered-amount of additive material comprising: a chamber (102) comprising an entrance aperture (110) and an exit aperture (112), and a lower portion (108) configured suitable for collecting additive material; a dispenser (131, 132) to apply a metered-amount of additive material to a continuous material when a continuous material is passing through the chamber via the entrance aperture and exit aperture such that at least a portion of the metered-amount of additive material is fixed to the continuous material; and a sensor for measuring an amount of the collected excess additive material that has not been fixed to the continuous material when the continuous material is within the chamber.
