Abstract (en)
A feeding apparatus (30, 40) for feeding segments (A) of tobacco industry material, comprising a hopper (21, 41) for storing rods (MA) of tobacco industry material, a receiving drum (22) adapted to receive the rods (MA) from the hopper (21, 41), a conveying drum (23) for conveying the rods (MA) while cutting the rods (MA) into segments (A), a cutting head (24) for cutting the rods (MA) conveyed on the conveying drum (23). The apparatus according to the invention is characterized in that the feeding apparatus comprises a filling sensor (31) for checking the presence of the rod (MA) in a flute (28) of the receiving drum (22), the receiving drum (22) being adapted to make a rotational movement at an increased speed (ω1) so that when an unfilled flute (28) is detected on the receiving drum (22) it moves with the increased speed (ω1) so that at the point of transfer (X) of the rod (MA) into the flute (29) of the conveying drum (23) there is another filled flute (28) of the receiving drum (22) and another empty flute (29) of the conveying drum (23).
