UTILITIES & ACCESSORIES

Support tobacco processing and cigarette production with equipment for cutting, recovery, feeding, extraction, compressed air and vacuum. Browse shrink wrapping, cigarette and filter trays, and mobile trolley options for line handling.

MOLINS TOBACCO CUTTER MRTC MK1

Molins MRTC Mk1 industrial rotary tobacco cutter

A heavy-duty rotary cutter for primary cigarette production, designed to cut tobacco lamina and expanded stems for downstream processing.

  • Automatic knife sharpening helps maintain a consistent cutting edge.
  • Pneumatic compression supports uniform tobacco feeding before the cut.
  • Quick gear changes make cut-width adjustment straightforward and help limit changeover downtime.

Five- or eight-knife setup

Up to 1,500 kg/hour standard output

16-inch cutting width

TOBACCO RECLAIMER

Industrial tobacco reclaimer with an infeed hopper and takeaway conveyor

A high-efficiency system for recovering reusable tobacco from rejected, damaged and off-spec cigarettes, helping reduce avoidable material loss.

  • Separates tobacco while helping limit fibre damage and dust generation.
  • Removes filters, tipping paper and cigarette wrappers from the recovered material.
  • Continuous feeding supports a steady reclaiming process.

100 kg/hour processing capacity

Up to 95%+ tobacco recovery

Vibratory or conveyor-based feed

AUTOMATIC TOBACCO FEEDER

Automatic tobacco feeder with an enclosed hopper and feed section

Automates tobacco transfer to cigarette-making equipment with a pneumatic suction system that delivers a steady supply to the maker.

  • Pneumatic suction moves tobacco through an enclosed feed path.
  • Continuous feeding helps maintain a uniform supply to the production line.
  • Adjustable feed control lets operators tune tobacco flow to line speed.

TOBACCO DUST COLLECTOR

Enclosed industrial tobacco dust collector with a side control panel

A standalone extraction unit for airborne tobacco dust and fibres around production lines, helping protect equipment and keep work areas cleaner.

  • Independent extraction and filtration for production areas.
  • Captures fine tobacco dust and airborne particles.
  • Can be configured around cutters, feeders and compatible maker lines.

VACUUM PUMPS

Industrial dry claw vacuum pump in an acoustic enclosure

A range of industrial vacuum pumps for cigarette-making and packing lines, using dry claw technology for consistent vacuum without oil in the compression chamber.

  • Oil-free compression avoids oil lubrication inside the chamber.
  • Contactless claw operation reduces internal friction and mechanical wear.
  • A dry-running design helps reduce routine service requirements.

AIR COMPRESSORS WITH DRYER PACKAGE

Industrial air compressor package with a refrigerated dryer and storage tank

Integrated compressed-air packages combine an industrial compressor, air dryer and filtration to supply clean, dry air to production machinery.

  • An integrated dryer removes moisture from compressed air.
  • Three filtration stages help separate particles, liquid contaminants and oil aerosols.
  • A single package brings the compressor, dryer and filtration together.

CIGARETTE & FILTER TRAYS AND TROLLEYS

Mobile multi-level trolley holding cigarette or filter trays

Trays and mobile trolleys provide a practical way to stage cigarettes or filter rods between production steps and keep product close to the next operation.

  • Tray storage can help buffer production when upstream and downstream machine speeds differ.
  • Wheeled racks make loaded trays easier to stage and move within the production area.
  • Tray and rack arrangements should suit the product and the machines they serve.

SHRINK HEAT TUNNEL

Conveyor-fed industrial shrink heat tunnel

A conveyor-fed heat tunnel applies controlled heat to shrink film around cigarette packs or grouped products for a close secondary wrap.

  • Conveyor movement carries products through the heated chamber.
  • Controlled heat causes compatible shrink film to tighten around the pack.
  • The tunnel can be used for individual packs or grouped product, subject to setup.
