摘要

The invention relates to a container (10), designed and arranged for receiving or dispensing portions (23) of a product mass flow (20, 27) formed from rod-shaped articles (19) of the tobacco-processing industry during the transport movement of the containers (10) in the transporting direction T. in an arrangement (18) for discretising or forming a product mass flow (20, 27), comprising a base body (16), which consists of two side walls (11, 12), two end walls (13, 14) and a bottom wall (15) Receiving space (17) for the portions (23), wherein the receiving space (17) in the width transverse to the transport direction T and in the height perpendicular to the bottom wall (15) for receiving such portions (23) is dimensioned, the original structure and the original cross section of the product mass flow (20, 27) supplied or the structure and cross section of the product mass flow (20, 27) to be formed, both end walls ( 13, 14) for collision-free transport in the assembly (18) are at least partially open, which is characterized in that at least one of the two side walls (11, 12) relative to the other side wall (11, 12) for varying the distance A. is formed adjustable and / or positionable between the side walls (11, 12). The invention also relates to an arrangement (18) with such containers (10) and an adjusting station (53) for automatically adjusting the containers (10).
