By this configuration, no Make fiber balls on the runner finger, so that a regular strand construction is possible.
  • the compressed air supply device is configured to direct a stream of compressed air to the strand conveyor or a strand conveyed on the strand conveyor, the direction being partially in a direction of separation of the strand from the strand conveying device and / or across and especially against the strand conveying device, which is compressed air directed in particular to the strand or the strand material.
  • an inlet finger of a format device in particular the tobacco processing industry, comprising a bore for conveying compressed air.
  • the inlet finger according to the invention makes it possible in an elegant and cost-efficient manner to convey compressed air into the region of transfer of the strand from a strand conveying device to the forming device.
  • the bore terminates in a nozzle located proximate a wiper edge of the run-in finger.
  • the compressed air emerging from the nozzle is directed towards the wiping edge and / or onto a conveying device relative to the wiping edge.
  • the object is achieved by the use of a stream of compressed air in the area of a transfer of material from a material conveying device to a format device, in particular the tobacco processing industry.
  • a particularly high efficiency is given when the compressed air stream is directed to an inlet finger of the format device and / or on the material conveying device.
  • the direction of compressed air flow is at least partially in a direction of separation of the material from the material delivery device.
  • the direction of the compressed air flow is thus in particular transversely to the conveying direction of the strand.
  • the direction of the compressed air flow is partially counter to the conveying direction of the material on the material conveying device. Under partially counteracting is understood in the context of the invention also obliquely or transversely to the conveying direction of the material on the material conveying path.
  • Fig. 1 the format inlet of a cigarette rod 1 and generally a stranding machine 1, since this may also be a filter rod machine, shown. 1 shows the discharge end 2 of a Saugstrangzierers 3 and a formatting device 4 with a format bed 6, an inlet finger 7 and a format part 8.
  • the Saugstrang banker 3 runs in Pfellraum 11 in a tobacco channel 9 and promotes a fiber strand of tobacco fibers,
  • the fiber strand is suspended on Saugstrang dresser 3 promoted in the tobacco channel 9, wherein it is held by means of a Saugstrang reduceer acting through the induced draft on Saugstrang resorter ,
  • the format bed 8 has a strand guide surface 12, not shown, which forms a curved cross-section strand channel whose radius of curvature in the running direction of the strand from Einiaufkonus 13 for format part continuously decreases and which opens in a corresponding to the desired strand shape formed strand channel 14 of the form saddle 8.
  • the suction strand conveyor 3 converges to the strand guide surface of the format bed 6 and places the tobacco strand, which has been stopped in a strand construction zone (not shown) and leveled in the usual manner, onto the skin material strip 18 moved by the format device 4.
  • the tobacco rod is strongly compressed during its passage through the inlet cone 13 under the action of Saugstrangdeciers 3 and deformed according to the change in cross section of the inlet cone in the conveying direction 16 of the format strip 17 so that it can run into the partially enclosed by the strand guide surface 12 of the format bed 6 strand channel ,
