Machine for wrapping a smokable material in a wrapper, a feeding device for the machine, and a smokable product therefrom

A machine for wrapping smokable material in a wrapper, comprising:

• a garniture defining a path along a longitudinal axis on which a wrapper is guided;
• a garniture belt configured to transport the wrapper along the path;
• and
• a feeding device for feeding a smokable material to the garniture, the feeding device comprising:
• a first conveyor having an upper section on which the smokable material is supported, the first conveyor being actuatable to move the smokable material in a feed direction toward a downstream side of the first conveyor;
• a holding container having a bottom defined at least partially by the first conveyor;
• a feed configured to transport the smokable material to the holding container so that that an amount of smokable material in the holding container is maintained within a range including a predetermined minimum amount and a predetermined maximum amount;
• a metering device configured to meter the amount of smokable material that is moved by the first conveyor from the holding container toward the garniture,
• wherein the metering device includes a roller, an axis of rotation of the roller is perpendicular to the feed direction of the first conveyor, and a distance between the roller and the first conveyor is adjustable to meter the amount of smokable material that is moved by the first conveyor from the holding container to the garniture.
