The tobacco feeder is the critical link between primary tobacco processing and the cigarette manufacturing machine — delivering cut filler continuously to the garniture section at a controlled rate matched to the cigarette production speed of the downstream making machine. Feed rate accuracy directly determines cigarette weight consistency across the entire tobacco manufacturing operation.
PLC-controlled feed rate adjustment with closed-loop weight control feedback maintains consistent output at rated cigarette making machine speed. Available in configurations compatible with all major cigarette manufacturing machine platforms — Mark 8, Mark 9, Protos 70, and Protos 80 ER. Every variation in feed rate translates directly into cigarette weight variation at the making machine, making the tobacco feeder one of the most operationally critical components in any cigarette production line.
