METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY PRODUCING TWO CONTINUOUS STREAMS OF CIGARETTES

摘要

A method for producing two continuous streams of cigarettes in which a continuous paper web is cut longitudinally to form two strips which are fed through a tobacco loading device and along respective guides for forming respective continuous rods and then to a transverse cutting device by respective conveyor belts, the drive rollers of which are driven by a single motor by way of a differential unit controlled by devices for sensing the positions which graphical signs reproduced on the paper strips have reached on each operation of the transverse cutting device.
