Abstract: An adjustable capacity reservoir for processing rod-like elements for tobacco industry, having partitioned multiple chambers.

Abstract: A reservoir (1) for rod-like elements (R) for tobacco industry, configured to be connected to a first feeding duct (2), to a second feeding duct (3) and to a receiving duct (10) for receiving the rod-like elements (R) from the reservoir (1), wherein the reservoir (1) has adjustable capacity and is coupled with filling level sensing means (14, 15) for sensing a filling level of the reservoir (1). The reservoir comprises two chambers (12, 13) having adjustable capacity and separated by a partition (24). The first chamber (12) is coupled with a first filling level sensing means (14) for sensing a filling level of the first chamber (12), and the second chamber (13) is equipped with a second filling level sensing means (15) for sensing a filling level of the second chamber (13).

Abstract: A valve device for changing over the mass flow of rod-like articles of the tobacco industry, between at least two non-parallel conveying channels feeding the rod-like articles and a conveying channel receiving the rod-like articles or between a conveying channel feeding the rod-like articles and at least two non-parallel conveying channels receiving the rod-like articles, comprising at least one rotatable element changing over the mass flow comprising a through channel for the transfer of the mass flow between the feeding conveying channel and the receiving conveying channel, with the rotatable change-over element having different angular positions relative to its principally horizontal axis of rotation which allow connecting individual feeding and receiving channels, characterized in that in the rotatable change-over element (4) at least one conveying unit (5) situated at the wall (7a, 7b, 7c, 7d) of a through channel (7) of the rotatable change-over element (4) is disposed, with the conveying unit (5) havin
