FIELD: physics, control.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of controlling mass flow in form of a multilayer stream of rod-like articles which fill a channel lying at an angle to the horizontal plane in which the stream of rod-like articles is created by force of gravity or in a forced manner, and the path of mass flow is changed by mobile elements which turn and/or are shifted with sliding, said elements forming fragments of opposite sidewalls of the channel lying at an angle, wherein, after displacement, said mobile elements stop mass flow in the channel lying at an angle with the possibility of restoring the previous flow after displacing the mobile elements to the previous position.
EFFECT: high efficiency of control.
