The Focke HLP 225 produces 225 hinge-lid hard box packs per minute — correctly matched to the Mark 8 MK8D cigarette manufacturing machine’s 3,000 CPM output on 20-cigarette packs. At 3,000 CPM the cigarette making machine produces 150 twenty-cigarette packs per minute — within the HLP 225’s rated cigarette packing capacity with a production buffer.
The HLP 225 is the standard packing machine pairing with Mark 8 cigarette manufacturing lines in mid-scale tobacco factory operations targeting hard box hinge-lid cigarette production at volumes of 1 to 1.5 billion cigarettes per year. A common configuration in tobacco manufacturing operations that have upgraded from soft pack to hinge-lid format production.
