  • End faces of the partial sticks 16, 17 run against the ends of the spacer bolts 35 and are held in the desired relative position with continued movement of the sliding segments 27, 28 (FIG. 3, top). This position of the partial sticks 16, 17 results in a gap formed between them in accordance with the length of the filter piece 21.
  • a format change is carried out without replacing the distance boizen 35 itself, but by changing the relative position of the same in the direction parallel to the axis.
  • the spacer bolts 35 are connected to support rings 36 on both sides of the main drum 10. These in turn are slidably attached to outer fixed rings 37 as part of a support frame of the main drum 10.

  • the segment troughs 19, 20 of the main drum 10 are arranged at a small, minimal distance from one another, which corresponds to half the distance between the troughs 18 on the feed drum 11, filter drum 12, return drum 13 and discharge drum 14.
  • the relative position of the conveying elements is selected such that the tobacco sticks 15 or partial sticks 16, 17 are inserted into first segment troughs 19.
  • the spacer bolts 35 which are arranged at a corresponding distance from one another, are assigned to these first segment troughs 19.
  • the second segment troughs 20 remain free in this area of the main drum 10 (FIG. 3).
