A SPLITTABLE TRANSPORT CHANNEL USED IN THE TOBACCO-PROCESSING INDUSTRY

摘要

The object of the application is a channel (1) for transporting rod-like articles in the tobacco industry, arranged in layers and transversely to their direction of transport, transversely partitioned into two parts, a first immovable part (1a) and a second movable part (1b), with one of them being rotatable around the channel axis (X), whereas the second part is movably fastened relative to the first part. A channel (1) according to the invention is characterized in that the plane (2) of partition of the channel into two parts extends at an angle to the channel axis, and the movable connection allows the movement of the second part of the channel relative to the first part of the channel so that during the movement the bottom edges of the second part principally move with a motion component directed upwards.
