FIELD: equipment for manufacture of carbonaceous heating member to be set on mouthpiece end of cigarette in conjunction with aerosol-generating material and used for heating the latter.
SUBSTANCE: apparatus has hollow pipe delimiting path for conveyance of carbonaceous heating core continuously extruded by means of forming machine to device for wrapping with heat-insulating material. Air flow is generated by means of air flow enhancing device and directed through hollow pipe to convey carbonaceous heating core and simultaneously to dry said core by air flow.
EFFECT: increased efficiency in drying of extruded heating core to suitable hardness and feeding of said core to device for wrapping it with heat-insulating material.
