Abstract (en)
A device (100) for inserting discrete components into a continuous core of the tobacco industry comprises a forming conveyor (10) extending along a feed direction (A) and defining a guide channel (11) in which the continuous core is made to advance. The device (100) also comprises a spreader (20) which is at least partly inserted in the guide channel (11) so as to be disposed above the continuous core and which is configured to impart a main deformation to an upper region of the continuous core, thereby making a longitudinal groove for accommodating the discrete components. The device (100) also comprises an inserting wheel (30) configured to hold a succession of discrete components and to place the discrete components in the groove in the continuous core. The device (100) also comprises a pre-forming element disposed upstream of the spreader and inserted in the guide channel so as to be disposed above the continuous core. The pre-forming element (40) is configured to impart to an upper region of the continuous core, a predeformation suitable for overlapping with the main deformation.
