Abstract
A machine for producing an endless filter rod comprises a multi-section garniture and a multiple garniture belt drive system that includes several garniture belts having linear aligned portions for delivering filter paper with filter components thereon through the sections of the garniture. Multiple garniture belts eliminate the need for a long belt and the disadvantages associated with a long belt such as excessive stretching and side movements or wander of the belt.
