Removal of rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry from a mass flow

摘要

The method involves moving a removing unit (11) parallel with an article mass flow (18) particularly with the similar conveying speed of the article mass flow. Individual rod shaped articles are isolated or detected in an article packet with multiple articles from the article mass flow by the removing unit and remove transverse to the conveying direction of the article mass flow, particularly in a perpendicular direction of the conveying direction of the article mass flow by the removing unit from the article mass flow.
