摘要:
A cigarette making machine employs an endless foraminous belt one side of which advances a surplus-containing stream of comminuted smokable material toward, through and beyond a trimming station where a trimming device removes the surplus and the resulting rod-like filler is advanced past an instrument which monitors the density of the filler prior or subsequent to draping of such filler into a web of cigarette paper or the like. If the density of the filler departs from a desired density, a shoe-like guide member abutting the other side of the belt opposite the trimming device is moved toward or away from the trimming device and/or vice versa. The other side of the belt is adjacent a suction chamber, and the guide member has one or more openings through which the suction chamber attracts the running belt to an at least slightly convex side of the guide member.
