New Machinery
New machinery for tobacco manufacturing machines.
XL 515 Hinge Lid Packer
A new design and manufactured machine, based on the Molins HLP2, but incorporating over 50 new features that have been developed with our experience in the field of cigarette packaging since 1974. The XL 515 HLP comes with a complete package of complimenting machinery from semi or fully automatic Tray unloaders through to Stampers Wrappers Carton boxers and Over wrappers all designed to work together for a seamless production line.
The machine can be set to a wide range of collations from 5 to 30 cigarettes or cigars and in length up to 120mm. We also have a proven record of packing super slims 5.4mm cigarettes.
The packer is designed for maximum efficiency at up to 225ppm depending on machine type and layout.
XL 400 and XL 400 TPD Tax Stamper
HTMS has designed and manufactured two versions of its XL400 Tax/Duty Stamper that can work as a stand- alone machine or part of a packing group where tax stamps are applied before unit wrapping.
The original version of the machine is capable of placing a tax stamp across the back of the packet and down the side across the box lid. When crossing the mitre joint of the box lid a serration knife is used to ensure the stamp is torn when the packet is opened. This also aids the opening of the packet as the stamp tears more easily.
The TPD version of the Stamper was designed due to changes in legislation that dictated a new position for the Tax stamp to be placed (Tobacco Products Directive). With this version of the machine the conveyorage that feeds the machine is used to orientate the packet to flow through the stamper on its side. Once stamped, the packet is then re-orientated to its original position to flow into the downstream machinery without interruption.
Both machines are built with a Siemens S7 control system as standard, with HMI operator interface.
In operation, for either version of the machine, tax stamps are removed from an adjustable magazine and transferred via a two-stage vacuum wheel. Glue dots are then precisely applied from an industry standard glue system. The size, quantity and position of dots is easily modified using the systems own HMI operator panel.
All stamps are inspected after application to ensure correct positioning, with a reject station positioned close to the outfeed to remove faulty packets.
Stamp sizes possible range from 10mm wide x 32mm long to 28mm wide x 48mm long.
Maximum speed is subject to the stamp size, but for a regular size of 20mm wide x 44mm long, 280 stamps applied per minute is possible.
XL 536 Wrapper
HTMS has designed and manufactured a high-speed linear motion, turret wrapping machine, providing an excellent quality wrap with high efficiency at medium speeds.
Machine control is by the latest Siemens S7 control system as standard, complete with fully featured Siemens HMI operator interface.
The machine has twin bobbin holders allowing fast change of bobbins up to 330mm diameter. The tear tape applicator will handle bobbins up to jumbo size. Change gears control cut length and servo drive is available for printed film registration.
Packets are delivered via a flighted belt rotating pushers carefully take the packet from the belt, delivered through the film into a six-stage gearbox indexed turret.
Twin retracting heaters seal the lateral seam and the mitre ends are formed in an adjustable folding deck on the exit from the turret.
Side sealing is achieved with cam operated reciprocating heaters to ensure fully sealed ends.
Finally, the machine is fitted with a reciprocating heat shrink unit featuring top and bottom heated plates to ensure a wrinkle free finish.
Options for this machine include a stamp inspection station that includes a reject station prior to the packets exiting the machine.
XL 545 Carton Boxer
The Carton Boxer is capable of packaging soft packets or hard boxes. Packets can be placed in various collations to accommodate a carton length of 370mm, with a height of up to 100mm. The machine can be built for either American or European style carton with side or top lid opening.
The carton boxer is a flexible machine to give a range of sizes and packet configurations with the ability to pack up to 40 cartons per minute.
Machine control is by the latest Siemens S7 control system as standard, complete with fully featured Siemens HMI operator interface.
XL 558 Parcellor/Over wrapper
HTMS has designed and manufactured a turret over wrapping machine, providing an excellent quality wrap with high efficiency at medium speeds.
Machine control is by the latest Siemens S7 control system as standard, complete with fully featured Siemens HMI operator interface.
The machine has a low mounted bobbin holder allowing easy change of film bobbins. The tear tape applicator will handle bobbins up to jumbo size. A servo drive is used to control the film cut length, and is adjustable by the machines HMI.
Packets are delivered to the infeed collator via a conveyor and then collated. The collation is then plunged through a waiting film panel and into a six-stage, gearbox indexed turret.
A retracting heater then seals the lateral seam after which the mitre ends are formed in an adjustable folding deck on the exit from the turret.
Side sealing is achieved with pneumatically operated reciprocating heaters to ensure fully sealed ends.
