ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Device for collating a flow of rod-like elements moving in a lengthwise direction. The device comprises a rotatable drum arranged to receive the elements on its outer surface and move them transversely to their lengthwise direction. The drum has a porous wall and is rototable through a reception zone, where a fluid bed is created on its outer surface to assist reception of the elements. There is a holding zone where a vacuum is created to hold the elements on the drum and a dis- charge zone where fluid pressure is provided to assist discharge of the elements. The device can move elements that may be fragile with little risk of damage.
