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.The invention relates to a method for the controlled conveying of a cigarette stream (10) into an initially empty conveyor section (16) of a machine for producing and / or packaging cigarettes, wherein the conveyor section (16) is bounded laterally by walls (18) and the cigarette flow ( 10) is supported during conveying by a movable supporting member (14) which is moved along with the cigarette stream (10) along the conveying portion (16).

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die den Förderabschnitt (16) seitlich begrenzenden Wände (18) zur Veränderung des Querschnitts des Förderabschnitts (16) wenigstens teilweise bewegt werden.According to the invention, the walls (18) laterally delimiting the conveyor section (16) are at least partially moved to change the cross section of the conveyor section (16).

Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung eine entsprechende Vorrichtung.
