The object of the application is an apparatus for manufacturing a roll of crimped filling material for rod-like articles, comprising a unit (4) for feeding a continuous strand of the filling material and a crimping unit (5) for crimping the filling material. The apparatus is characterised in that between the unit (4) for feeding the continuous strand of the filling material and the crimping unit (5) there is a cutting unit (23) for cutting the continuous strand of the filling material (20) into sections (22), and in that the crimping unit (5) is adapted to crimp the cut-off section (22) of the filling material transversely to the direction of movement of the material section (22). The apparatus is further characterised in that the forming unit (16, 46, 51, 61) is adapted to form a roll (22X, 22Y) from the cut-off crimped section (22) of the filling material in the form of a substantially cylindrical rod. The object of the application is also a method for manufacturing a roll of crimped filling material for rod-like articles.

The apparatus as in claim characterised in that the forming unit (61) comprises a plurality of forming pockets (64) on the drum conveyor (62), and further comprises a ring (63) situated coaxially with the drum conveyor (62), the forming pocket (64) being formed between the drum conveyor (62) and the ring (63).
The apparatus as in claim characterised by further comprising a guiding unit (50) for inserting a section (22) of the filling material into the forming pocket (16, 47, 52, 64).
The apparatus as in claim characterised by further comprising a feeding unit (3) adapted to place a section (12) of a wrapping material in the pocket (16) before forming a rod-like article from the cut-off section (22) of crimped filling material and the section (12) of the wrapping material.
The apparatus as in claim characterised by further comprising a guiding unit (50) adapted to placing the cut-off section (22) of the crimped filling material into the formed section (12) of the wrapping material.
The apparatus as in claim characterised in that the cutting apparatus (23) is provided with rotary knives (24) and a supporting roller (25).
