A roller with a friction surface is positioned adjacent the cigarette transfer drum and is driven by a transmission off the transfer drum drive to rotate at a greater speed than the transfer drum. The greater speed of the roller allows the roller to positively roll the cigarettes on the drum prior to ejection in order to seal the free end of the mouthpiece paper on itself while also imparting a roundness to the cigarette. The greater speed of the roller also serves to positively eject the cigarettes into a chute below the transfer drum. |
