Multiple-rod cigarette making machine

Machine for simultaneously producing a plurality of rods which contain a fibrous material of the tobacco processing industry, comprising first and second conveyors defining elongated paths;

• means for supplying fibrous material into first portions of said paths so that the first and second conveyors accumulate and advance along the respective paths discrete first and second streams each of which contains a surplus of fibrous material;
• and discrete first and second surplus removing apparatus adjacent second portions of the respective paths downstream of said supplying means, each of said apparatus comprising a pair of substantially coplanar rotary disposed in a first plane and the trimming discs of said second apparatus being disposed in a second plane which is inclined with reference to said first plane.

Machine for simultaneously producing a plurality of rods which contain a fibrous material of the tobacco processing industry, comprising first and second conveyors defining elongated paths which are disposed in a common plane;

• means for supplying fibrous material into first portions of said paths so that the first and second conveyors accumulate and advance along the respective paths discrete first and second streams each of which contains a surplus of fibrous material;
• first and second channels for the respective conveyors and the respective streams, said channels having walls flanking the respective streams and the walls of said first channel being inclined in a first direction with reference to a second plane which is normal to said common plane, the walls of said second channel being inclined with reference to said second plane in a second direction counter to said first direction;
• and discrete first and second surplus removing apparatus adjacent second portions of the respective paths downstream of said supplying means, each of said apparatus comprising a pair of substantially coplanar rotary trimming discs.
