Claims10
A transfer system cooperating with a machine for producing tobacco and filter product rods comprising a cutting head, the machine being synchronized with a rod receiving unit of the transfer system and enabling adjustment of the length of the produced rods, the transfer system being situated between the machine for producing rods and a machine for further processing or transmitting the rods, characterized in that it comprises a rejection unit for rejecting the rods (3) outside the transfer system (10), the rejection unit being located between the cutting head (2) of the machine (11) and the rod receiving unit (9).
A method for transferring rods in a transfer system of a machine for producing tobacco and filter product rods, enabling adjustment of the length of the produced rods, in which the produced rods of a defined length are cut off from a continuous rod by means of a cutting head of the machine, the cut rods being then transferred to a receiving unit, characterized in that, after every change of the length of the cut rods (3), during the synchronization of the receiving unit (9) and the cutting head (2), the produced rods (3) are being rejected outside the transfer system (10) by means of a rejection unit.
