<p>High speed cigarette making machines capable of producing at least 9, 000 cigarettes per minute may be too fast for the current filter tip assembling machines. Alternatively, it may cause problems if a manufacturer produces several different brands from one tobacco rod blend, in terms of the downtime required to adapt printer heads or to change the filter element supply. This invention provides means, such as modified spiders (5,3), to divide the output of such high speed machines, for example, in order to supply two further machines (8,10; 6,8). <IMAGE></p> |
