<p>The outfeed unit of a cigarette maker establishes a feed path (14) along which at least one cigarette rod (2) is caused to advance in a predetermined direction (23) from the outfeed end of a beam (22), on which the cigarette rod (2) is formed, toward a cutter device (25) by which the rod is divided into sticks (26) constituting single cigarettes; the unit (3) is equipped with a cut-off device (29) located in close proximity to the outfeed of the forming beam (22), by which the rod (2) is severed and diverted from the feed path (14), and, at a given point downstream of the cut-off device (29), with pinch rollers (34) by which a portion of the rod (2) separated through the action of the cut-off device (29) is removed from a final stretch (14a) of the feed path between the cut-off device (29) and the cutter device (25). <IMAGE></p> |
