Which Cigarette Packing Machine Do You Need?

The choice is decided by one thing: the pack format you sell. MOI builds a machine for each of the two formats that matter, and they are not interchangeable.

Hinge-lid, or flip-top

HLP 180

The rigid flip-top box most 20s brands sell in. The HLP 180 runs up to 180 packets per minute and handles two rows of 10 cigarettes or three rows of 20. Cigarettes are wrapped in aluminium foil with bonded tissue, drawn from a twin-reel bobbin holder and embossed through a steel-on-steel unit, with an inner frame cut and positioned automatically to keep the packet rigid.

  • Five assemblies: filler bed, foil embossing and folding, blank bed, sealer bed, drying drum
  • Gravure gumming seals without glue skinning
  • Fed by Automatic Tray Unloader, or a manual tray frame with auto shelf retraction
  • Roughly 35 to 40% of the configuration is change parts, set by final packet dimensions

Shell-and-slide 10s

M2-10s Duplex

The 10-cigarette pack that outsells 20s across price-sensitive markets. The M2-10s Duplex packs two shell-and-slide packets at once, up to 320 packets per minute, with foil or paper bundles fed by twin conveyors from the hopper and brought together on a third, right-angled conveyor for assembly.

  • Cigarettes from 66 mm to 85 mm long, 7.5 mm to 8.5 mm in diameter
  • Turret-less hopper with agitating rollers and needle slide feed
  • End-flap coding device, and electronic detection for missing cigarettes, slides and bundles
  • Draws roughly 1.5 kW and stands 835 mm high, so it fits under existing conveyors

Packing, packaging, and where both sit in the line

The two words are used interchangeably by buyers and mean the same stage here: forming the retail pack around finished cigarettes. It happens after the cigarettes are made and before the packs are overwrapped and boxed.

Cigarettes reach these machines from acigarette making machine. Sealed packs leave forBOPP overwrapping, thencartoning and bundling. If you are specifying a complete line rather than a single machine, thecigarette production line page walks through all seven stages in order.
