A rod rotation device 6 is disclosed. The rod is collected by a collection portion 26 of a sampling probe 2. The device has a receiving portion 10 having a vacuum port 22 at one end thereof for biasing a rod held therein. The receiving portion 10 is pneumatically rotatable through 90{ so that rods can be rotated from a horizontal orientation to a vertical orientation and vice versa. The device is suitable for use in handling and reorienting cigarettes or cigarette filters, especially for quality sampling. The vacuum biasing of the rod away from an aperture ensures that the receiving portion 10 is not jammed and prevented from rotating. |
