Abstract: A device for combining groups of at least two different types of filter segments for producing multi-segment filters in the tobacco industry in a continuous process includes a plurality of independent functional units that are each designed as a module.

Abstract: A processing unit for processing at least one filter tow strip to produce filters for rod-shaped smoking articles includes at least one tow guidance section along which the filter tow strip is moved in a direction of a longitudinal extension of the filter tow strip. The tow guidance section includes processing devices used for processing the filter tow strip. The processing devices are arranged in a sequence essentially one above the other, so that at least a segment of the tow guidance section that is located in a region of the processing devices is oriented at an angle to a horizontal line.

Abstract: A rod-cutting device and method of the tobacco-processing industry. The device includes a rotatable cutting body with a cutting edge, and a first rotary body with a rotation axis on which the cutting body is arranged. The cutting body is arranged essentially parallel to the rotation axis of the first rotary body, and has an extension at least from a mounting point to the cutting edge. A tangent of the first rotary body extends through or parallel to the extension.

Abstract: A method and arrangement are provided for producing compound filters for products in the tobacco-processing industry. A filter tube, having a filter element in a central region of the filter tube, is supplied to a predetermined position. Predetermined portions of filtering material are then inserted into the filter tube from at least a first end of the filter tube so that filter segments form in at least a first part of the filter tube.

Abstract: An apparatus for applying an additive to a moving, spread-out web of filter tow in the tobacco-processing industry includes an application element for applying the additive to the spread-out web of filter tow. At least one scraper element is positioned transverse to a direction of movement of the filter tow and includes a sliding surface aligned substantially parallel to the filter tow movement direction.
