FIELD: tobacco industry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method for reliable moment of filter segments onto the grouping conveyor in the process of manufacture of segmented filters used in tobacco industry; the process takes places, sequentially, in the prepared segments delivery zone, in the zone where delivered segments are divided by the divisor unit, in the zone where divided segments are intercepted by the transmitting unit, in the zone where segments are moved by the transmitting unit and in the zone where segments are placed by the transmitting unit on the horizontal band of the grouping container; one performs detection of incorrect flow of filter segments within any zone and/or between zones by way of checking the position and/or operation of the mechanisms; when incorrect flow of filter segments is detected within any zone and/or between zones the filter segments movement process is interrupted through retracting the transmitting unit and/or the divisor unit from the band intended for flow of filter segments.
EFFECT: ensuring prevention of non-conforming segments occurrence in the filter manufacture process.
