Arrangement for supplementing a stock of filter sticks in a magazine of a machine of the tobacco-processing industry

摘要

An arrangement for supplementing stocks of filter sticks in magazines of machines (1a... 1d) processing the filter sticks in the tobacco-processing industry has pneumatic conveying lines (12a... 12d) which connect the reception devices at the machines (1a... 1d) to dispatch devices of a dispatch station (4A). A second pneumatic conveying line (12a'... 12d') is guided to each of the respective machines (1a... 1d), each conveying line (12a'... 12d') connecting a second reception device at each machine (1a... 1d) to a dispatch device of another respective dispatch station (4B... 4E). In the event of the failure of a dispatch station (4A), each of the machines (1a... 1d) assigned to this dispatch station (4A) is supplied with filter sticks by the other respective dispatch station (4B... 4E). <IMAGE>
