Abstract: The method for manufacturing inductively heatable tobacco rods comprises the steps of providing a continuous profile of a susceptor, guiding an aerosol-forming tobacco substrate along a tobacco substrate converging device, positioning the continuous profile of susceptor in the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate and converging the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate to a final rod shape. Therein, the step of positioning the continuous profile of susceptor in the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate is performed before performing the step of converging the aerosol-forming tobacco substrate to its final rod shape.

Abstract: A transmission shaft and a roller comprising a pair of connectable portions (M, F) for connecting a transmission shaft (5, 8) and a roller (4, 7) to be driven by torque exerted through the transmission shaft (5, 8). The pair of connectable portions (M, F) comprise a male portion (M) provided on one of the transmission shaft (5, 8) and roller (4, 7) and a complementary female portion (F) provided on the other of the roller (4, 7) and transmission shaft (5, 8). The male portion (M) has a longitudinal axis of rotation (X) and tapers inwardly from a proximal end to a distal end. The male portion (M) has a non-circular cross section.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for introducing elongated objects defining a longitudinal axis into a continuous flow of material, the method comprising the steps of: —providing a reservoir for holding the elongated objects to be introduced into the continuous flow of material; —introducing the elongated objects from the reservoir into a transfer chamber that is arranged such that the objects are aligned therein with their longitudinal axis parallel to each other; —moving the elongated objects along a direction parallel to their longitudinal axis in a single line path from the transfer chamber to a delivery channel by a rotatable wheel, the rotatable wheel arranged adjacent the transfer chamber and adapted to move the elongated objects located in the transfer chamber by contacting the elongated objects with a peripheral surface of the rotatable wheel; —inserting the elongated objects from the delivery channel to a location where the elongated objects are to be introduced into the continuous flow of material; and —regulating an insertion speed of insertion of the elongated object from the delivery channel to a location where the elongated objects are to be introduced into the continuous flow of material on the basis of a speed of the continuous flow of material at the location in which the elongated object is to be introduced.
