The invention relates to a device for filling paper tubes with tobacco, comprising an attachment for receiving the paper tube, a pressing tool guided by a guide unit with a pressing die, the device comprising a container for receiving tobacco with a container outlet, the pressing die being movable from a first position, in which first position the bore is released, into a second position for introducing the tobacco into the paper tube, and the attachment, the container outlet and the guide unit being arranged along an axis.

Systems, methods, and devices for automatically delivering tobacco into a tobacco receiving cavity in a cigarette casing, including a packer module with movable fingers for compressing tobacco.

Systems, methods, and devices for automatically delivering tobacco into a tobacco receiving cavity in a cigarette casing, including a packer module with movable fingers for compressing tobacco.

A machine for manufacturing a cigarette includes a housing, a support frame disposed within the housing, a filling pipe at least partially disposed outside of the housing, a push plate at least partially disposed within the support frame, a first actuation assembly operatively connected to the push plate, a push spoon assembly, and a second actuation assembly operatively connected to the push spoon assembly. The support frame includes a tobacco cavity aligned with an opening of the housing, at least one protrusion, and a frame rail. Actuation of the first actuation assembly causes the push plate to move from a first position to a second position to push tobacco in the tobacco cavity into alignment with the filling pipe. The second position of the push plate is defined by engagement of the push plate with the at least one protrusion of the support frame. The push spoon assembly includes a sliding block attached to the frame rail and a push spoon extending into the tobacco cavity. Movement of the sliding block along the frame rail causes the push spoon to move within the tobacco cavity. The second actuation assembly causes the sliding block to move along the frame rail.
