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.
Why Factories Choose the Protos 80 ER
- 8,000 CPM output: among the highest-throughput Extended Range platforms available on the refurbished market
- Built-in microwave weight control: every cigarette monitored, not sampled, for tighter quality compliance
- Siemens or Beckhoff IPC automation: remote diagnostics and recipe-based format switching, ready to integrate into existing factory systems
- 4–8 billion cigarettes/year capacity: sized for serious production scale-ups
- Refurbished units available now: sourced from factories upgrading to the Protos M5
Looking to scale past your current Mark 8 or Mark 9 line? The Protos 80 ER is the direct upgrade path, full IPC automation without M5-level investment.
