Apparatus and method for transforming rodlike filterelements

A conveying device; the device is used for supply a bar-shaped filter (6) and filter tip to the filter box (8), the moves shaft (6) of the horizontal axis transfer to the base to the filter of transport to the filter box (8), the tumbler capable of rotating (7) at least one of the filter (6) fixed part (19), a characterised of: Tumbler (7) is a detection filter (6) detector (10,11) control. The invention further relates (6) is supplying a bar-shaped filter to the filter box (8) control method, which is characterized in: Filter (6) is moves shaft to transporting to a (7) is filter (6) fixed part (19); tumblerFilter (6) after detecting (10,11); At the filter (6) is (10,11) generating activating signal through a detector; And obtaining the activating signal, the tumbler-type (7) of cross - shaft to the directional; (6) And the filter box the filter (8).
