Hauni KDF-2
The Hauni KDF-2 processes acetate tow at up to 400 meters per minute, covering the same 16.8mm to 28.1mm circumference and 64mm to 150mm length range as the KDF-1. This unit is a reconditioned machine, inspected and tested before it ships, with a documented service record included.

About the Hauni KDF-2
The KDF-2 pairs its filter maker with a tow opener and HCF80 auto tray filler, a second integrated unit that the KDF-1 does not have. That addition is what gets this machine to its higher throughput, at the cost of extra power draw and a heavier footprint. Combined power across both units runs to 55KW, against the KDF-1's single 40KW draw, and total weight sits at 6,500 kg.
PLC control runs on SIEMENS or BECKHOFF, with Lenze or Beckhoff servo drives, matching the KDF-1's control system options. Both platforms have active parts and service networks behind them regardless of which configuration a specific unit runs.
How This Compares to the KDF-1
Both machines cover the same filter circumference and length range and the same control system choices. The difference is production setup. The KDF-2's tow opener and auto tray filler add a processing stage the KDF-1 does not have, which is what supports its higher throughput. Factories running higher-volume acetate tow production get more out of the KDF-2's added stage. For lower-volume or simpler single-unit operation, the Hauni KDF-1 is worth comparing on cost and footprint.
Buying This as a Reconditioned Unit
A reconditioned KDF-2 has already run in a working factory, meaning the platform's known mechanical issues were found and resolved long before this unit reached inspection. That gets you a tested, factory-proven machine at a fraction of new-equipment cost, with documented service history included.
Looking at Other Options
For a simpler single-unit setup at lower power draw, the Hauni KDF-1 is also in stock. The full cigarette filter making machines range is here if you want to compare across platforms, including the Molins PM-5 and Hollow Tube Maker.
