Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for producing smoking article components from a plurality of article segments, in particular at least three or more than three article segments.
  • the invention also relates to a smoking article product and an intermediate product.
  • filters are assembled from segments made of different materials, grouped and formed into a multi-segment filter rod, which is wrapped in wrapping paper that envelops and holds together the filter segments assembled into a rod.
