The Hauni Protos 80 ER is the Extended Range high-speed cigarette manufacturing machine — 8,000 CPM for standard cigarette production formats and 7,000 CPM for slim, with built-in microwave weight control and Siemens or Beckhoff IPC automation as standard. ER stands for Extended Range: microwave weight control monitors rod density in every cigarette produced, achieving rod density CV below 4 percent across the tobacco manufacturing operation — the highest weight control precision of any cigarette manufacturing machine at this speed tier.
In tobacco factory operations targeting 4 to 8 billion cigarettes per year, the Protos 80 ER provides the IPC-level automation that modern cigarette production quality audits increasingly require — remote diagnostics, recipe-based format management, and continuous production data logging built in as standard. A growing refurbished market from factories upgrading to the Protos M5 makes quality rebuilt Protos 80 ER cigarette manufacturing machines increasingly accessible.
