Sasib 5000
The SASIB 5000 packs 100mm cigarettes at up to 500 packs per minute, sitting at the top of the soft pack lines we carry. This unit is a reconditioned machine, inspected and tested before it ships, with a documented service record included.

About the Sasib 5000
Unlike the HLP series, which produces hard packs in a rigid box, the SASIB 5000 wraps alufoil and label material around an arbour to form a soft pack with squared corners. That is a different mechanism entirely, not a faster version of the same process, so the choice between an HLP machine and the SASIB 5000 comes down to which pack format your brand needs, not which one runs faster.
One naming note worth clearing up: "100mm Hard Packer" in the spec table refers to the 100mm cigarette format this machine is built for, not the pack style. This machine only produces soft packs; a hard box (hinge-lid) SASIB unit is a different model.
Running on PLC control at around 20kW, the machine is built for continuous, high-volume operation within a 15°C to 40°C environment. At roughly 6,000 kg, it has a larger footprint than the SASIB 3000, reflecting its higher throughput ceiling.
Who This Machine Suits
The 500 packs per minute ceiling is reached under stable operating conditions with correctly fed cigarettes, and it is built for manufacturers who genuinely need that volume rather than running it well under capacity. If your production is lower volume or you need flexibility across both 84mm and 100mm formats, the SASIB 3000 is worth comparing, since it covers both formats on one machine at a lower rated speed.
Buying This as a Reconditioned Unit
A reconditioned SASIB 5000 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
The SASIB 3000 is also in stock, with dual 84mm/100mm format support at a lower rated speed. For hard pack production instead of soft pack, the HLP-225 is the closest equivalent on output volume. The full soft pack lines range is here for a side-by-side comparison.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a new or reconditioned machine?+
This is a reconditioned SASIB 5000, inspected and tested before resale, with a documented service history included.
What is the difference between the SASIB 5000 and an HLP packing machine?+
The SASIB 5000 produces soft packs using an alufoil-and-arbour wrapping method. HLP machines produce hard packs in a rigid box. They are two different mechanisms for two different pack formats.
What cigarette format does this machine run?+
100mm cigarettes.
What is the operating temperature range for this machine?+
15°C to 40°C for stable, rated performance.
Can this machine switch between 84mm and 100mm formats?+
No, this unit is built for 100mm format. For dual 84mm/100mm flexibility, the SASIB 3000 is the better fit.
