Abstract
A machine which simultaneously produces several rods of fibrous material has discrete conveyors which are closely adjacent each other and transport the streams from stream building stations to discrete surplus removing apparatus each of which employs a pair of coplanar trimming discs. The trimming discs of discrete surplus removing apparatus are disposed in different planes which are inclined relative to each other and can be inclined relative to or parallel with the planes of the respective conveyors. The orientation of the planes of the trimming discs ensures that the removal of surplus is not impeded by neighboring apparatus and/or by the channels for the streams of fibrous material.
