A method of manufacturing a multi-segment filter and Multi-segment of the tobacco-processing industry

The invention relates to a method for producing a multi-segment filter (46) of the tobacco-processing industry, wherein firstly a group (47, 47 ') of filter segments (40, 40', 41, 41 ', 42, 43) is compiled, and the group ( 47, 47 ') of filter segments (40, 40', 41, 41 ', 42, 43) is conveyed in a direction transverse to its longitudinal axis (50). The invention further relates to a corresponding multi-segment filter (10). The inventive method is characterized in that the group (47, 47 ') of filter segments (40, 40', 41, 41 ', 42, 43) has a first end face (44) and a second end face (45), a filter segment (40) of the group (47, 47 ') of filter segments (40, 40', 41, 41 ', 42, 43) having the first face (44) into a first part (42) and a second part (43) is cut, and the first part (42) or the second part (43) on the outside of the side of the group (47, 47 ') of filter segments (40, 40', 41, 41 ', 42, 43) is reshuffled with the second end face (45).
