Applying an additive from radially outside upon production of an aerosol-generating rod

Abstract

A device for producing an aerosol-generating rod comprises a converging device, a susceptor guide, and a conveyor system. The converging device has a forming space converging along an axial direction. The susceptor guide extends into the forming space of the converging device and comprises an exit opening for a susceptor within the forming space of the converging device. The conveyor system is configured to convey filling material, preferably formed as a sheet, through the forming space of the converging device to shape the filling material into a rod incorporating the susceptor. The device further comprises at least one additive supply line having a dispensing opening that opens into the forming space of the converging device radially outward of the susceptor guide.
