FIELD: tobacco industry.
SUBSTANCE: subject of the invention is a feed device for supplying a single-layer stream of rod-shaped products (2) of the tobacco industry, comprising a first feed channel (10) configured to move the rod-shaped products (2) in form of a mass flow (MF); a second feed channel (11) having a lower conveyor (16) configured to move rod-shaped products (2) in form of a mass flow (MF), while the second feed channel (11) is connected along the flow to the first feed channel (10); storage container (3), configured to be filled with rod-shaped products (2) and connected along the flow to the second supply channel (11); outflow conveyor (5, 30) having a supporting surface (5A, 30A) containing grooves (23, 31), configured to receive rod-shaped products (2) from the container (3) for storing and moving rod-shaped products (2) in form of a single-layer flow (SF) of rod-shaped products (2), characterized in that the lower part of the storage container (3) is formed by the lower conveyor (16) of the second feed channel (11) and the supporting surface (5A, 30A) of the outlet conveyor (5, 30), and in that the second feed channel (11) has an upper mass flow (MF) drive element (17, 33) comprising a support surface (17A, 33A) at least partially disposed to converge towards the support surface (16A) of the lower conveyor (16) of the second supply channel (11) in the direction from the first supply channel (10) to the storage container (3).
EFFECT: feed device is proposed.
