DEFLECTING DEVICE FOR A CONTINUOUS FILTER TOW, METHOD FOR CONVEYING AND DEFLECTING AT LEAST ONE CONTINUOUS FILTER TOW, AND DEVICE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CIGARETTE FILTERS

摘要

The device has a passage (2a,2b), transport unit (40) and returning unit (50). The transport unit pneumatically conveys filter tow strand (13). The returning unit cooperates with the transport unit for pneumatically driven deflection of the filter tow strand. The deflection device is so aligned that deflection of filter tow strand has horizontal component. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) a machine for production of filter rod with deflection device (2) a method for conveying and deflection of filter tow strand.
