Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum kontrollierten Fördern eines Zigarettenstroms (10) in einen anfänglich leeren Förderabschnitt (16) einer Maschine zum Herstellen und/oder Verpacken von Zigaretten, wobei der Förderabschnitt (16) seitlich durch Wände (18) begrenzt wird und der Zigarettenstrom (10) beim Fördern durch ein bewegbares Stützorgan (14) gestützt wird, das zusammen mit dem Zigarettenstrom (10) entlang des Förderabschnitts (16) bewegt wird.
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die den Förderabschnitt (16) seitlich begrenzenden Wände (18) zur Veränderung des Querschnitts des Förderabschnitts (16) wenigstens teilweise bewegt werden.
Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung eine entsprechende Vorrichtung.
