Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022269270A1] Apparatus for manufacturing a wrapped rod of aerosolisable material is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a control unit (25) and a garniture (14) including a garniture tape (17) on which a ribbon of wrapping material (18) is conveyed and wrapped about a stream of aerosolisable material received on the ribbon of wrapping material. The apparatus further comprises a suction conveyor device (6) comprising a belt (8) to receive aerosolisable material and for delivering aerosolisable material onto the ribbon of wrapping material as it is conveyed by the garniture tape. The control unit is configured to drive the belt at a speed which is faster than the speed of the garniture tape. A method of manufacturing a wrapped rod of aerosolisable material is also disclosed.
