Abstract
An apparatus () for shifting of rod-shaped articles (') of different lengths or rod-shaped article groups () of different total lengths on a drum conveyor (), comprising a pushing unit () mounted angularly to the axis of rotation of the drum conveyor (), forcing the movement of the rod-shaped articles (′), whereas the pushing unit () comprises rotational pushing elements () for shifting of the rod-shaped articles (′), characterised in that the pushing unit () is movably mounted in a direction being substantially transverse to the axis of the flute () of the drum conveyor () so as to shift the rod-shaped-articles (′) or the rod-shaped article groups () inside the flute () of the drum conveyor () by the pressure of surfaces (A,A,A) of the pushing unit () directly on the ends of the rod-shaped article (′).
