Method and system for arranging rod-like elements, in which an unordered portion of rod-like elements (3A...3F) composed each of at least one part selected from a group including cigarette parts being filter parts and tobacco parts, is delivered to a conveyor enabling arrangement of the elements on the said conveyor (1, 1', 101, 201) in a plurality of compartments (2, 2', 102, 202), longitudinally in each compartment and transversely to the direction of movement of the conveyor, the compartments having a length adapted to receive at least one filter part and at least one tobacco part of a cigarette, characterized in that the type, the number and the location of parts of the element (3A...3F) received in each successive compartment (2, 2', 102, 202) is defined by at least a single scanning of each successive compartment (2, 2', 102, 202) of the conveyor (1, 1', 101, 201), the result of the scanning being transmitted to a control unit (S) in which each compartment (2, 2', 102, 202) is assigned information about its contents, the elements (3A...3F) being subsequently sorted out, basing on the information received from the control unit (S) by the type and the number of parts each element is composed of, as well as by the location of these parts in the compartment (2, 2', 102, 202), by transferring the elements contained in successive compartments (2, 2', 102, 202) to suitable receiving means selected according to the information received from the control unit (S). |
