<p>The system includes an overhead conveyor (1,2) including a guide rail (1) and a plurality of motor-driven carriages (2). Each carriage (2) carries a container (7) having an outlet (7b) at its lower end with a shut-off device (8-11) which can be opened as a result of the coupling of the outlet (7b) with the loading hopper (27) of a cigarette-making machine (26). A loading station (12) is located in a fixed position near the conveyor rail (1) and includes discharge means (15-23) adapted to pour a predetermined quantity of tobacco into the container (7) of each carriage (2 ) . There is a resetting device (35) near the loading station (12) for reclosing the shut-off devices (8-11) for the outlets (7b) of the carriages (2). A control system (25, 25a) regulates the movement of the carriages (2) along the rail (1) between the loading station (12) and the cigarette-making machines (26) in a predetermined manner.</p> |
