About the Hauni KT-400
Pneumatic cylinders handle jaw operation, providing the clamping force needed for clean, consistent cuts through the tobacco leaf. Cut size is regulated through a PLC drive system on a brass bend slat, which lets a factory tailor cut width to a specific blend requirement rather than running a single fixed setting.
Where This Fits in Your Production Line
The KT-400 sits upstream of cigarette manufacturing, preparing cut tobacco before it reaches the maker unit. If your line also processes tougher stem material, the Tobacco Stem Flattener handles that preparation stage separately, making stem sections pliable before cutting or blending.
Buying This as a Reconditioned Unit
A reconditioned KT-400 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 stem preparation ahead of cutting, the Tobacco Stem Flattener is also in stock. The full cutter, feeder, and reclaimer range is here if you want to see related tobacco processing equipment.
