PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production system using a cigarette producing machine (4) connected to a packer (5).

Each container is provided with an opening (11) through which the container is filled and emptied. An empty container (3) is picked up from a first magazine (27) storing the empty containers, filled with the cigarettes (2) in a loading hopper (14) and placed on a second magazine (31), located along the first magazine (27) and holding the full container (3). The transfer from the hopper (14) to the second magazine (31) is carried out along a circular path with the vertical axis (37) between both the magazines as the center using a rotation mechanism (35) equipped with plates (40 and 43). Each container (3) is picked up onto the plates, filled and carried through the circular path. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
