<p>A filter rod making machine comprises a plurality of feed wheels (50) for feeding filter elements (f A , f C ) at intervals; a conveyor (18) for receiving the filter elements (f A , f C ) from the feed wheels (50) and forming an element stream in which the filter elements (f A ) and the filter element (f C ) are arranged alternately; a wrapping apparatus (62) for forming the element stream into a composite element column (C E ) in which the filter elements (f A , f C ) are in close contact with each other, and then into a composite element rod (ER) by wrapping the composite element column (C E ) in a paper web (W); a cutting apparatus (92) for cutting the composite element rod (ER) into individual filter rods (FR); and a phase change apparatus (112) for adjusting the rotation phase of the feed wheel (50) on the basis of information on the filter rod (FR) cut.</p> |
