Method for compiling a group of segments in the process of producing a multi-segment filter and apparatus for preparing and compiling segments in a group in the process of producing a multi-segment filter
The apparatus for preparing segments (2) in groups (3) according to a continuous endwise manner comprises as parts of a module (1;1'1";1 III ,1 IV ) a cutting drum (5) having a horizontal axis (8) with flutes (9) with axes (10) parallel to the axis (8) of the drum (5), the flutes (9) with axis (10) being spaced on the peripheral surface of the drum (5). At the inlet the drum (5) is connected to a container (6) of filter rods (7). The apparatus (1;1'1";1 III ,1 IV ) further comprises circular knives (11) cooperating with the drum (5), wherein filter rods (7) cut into sets (12) of segments (2) are drawn out of the flutes (9) into a guiding channel (21) with the aid of dogs (17) mounted on a loop-closed chain (18). The trajectory of which in the area of the sets (12) of segments (2) is drawn out of flutes (9) being in principle parallel to the axis (10) of a flute (9). The apparatus is provided with a movable guiding element (22) cooperating in synchronism with the cutting drum (5), situated by the cutting drum (5) and forming a wall closing the channel (21) for sets (12) of segments (2) drawn out of the flutes (9) of the cutting drum (5).
