The Hauni Tobacco Cutter KT-400 is a precision cutter that helps keep cut quality consistent in tobacco processing. It is supplied by Orchid Tobacco Dubai from our Jebel Ali Free Zone base as part of our wider range of tobacco machinery. It is an essential asset for tobacco facilities that want high quality and efficiency from the very first stage of production.
The KT-400 works with five knives, which produce uniform cuts. Pneumatic cylinders operate the jaws, which supports smoother operation and reduces downtime and maintenance. Cut size is regulated by a PLC drive on a brass bend slat, which keeps batches uniform and lets you adjust the cut size to your own needs.
That adjustability matters in practice, because different blends and cigarette formats can call for different cut sizes, and consistent cutting gives the cigarette maker a more even product to work with.
In a factory, the KT-400 belongs at the start of the line, in the tobacco preparation stage before cigarette making. Cut tobacco from the cutter goes on to the Tobacco Feeder, which supplies the Mark 8 or Mark 9, and from there the cigarettes move on to your cigarette packing machines such as the HLP-225, HLP-2 or HLP-1.5.
It suits tobacco facilities that want uniform, adjustable cutting, plants setting up a new line from the preparation stage, and factories replacing an older cutter. Ask our team how it should be matched to your maker and the rest of your preparation equipment.
The KT-400 is a preparation machine rather than an alternative to a cigarette maker, so the useful comparison is with the machines that work after it. The Protos 70 and Protos 80 ER run at up to 7,000 and 8,000 cigarettes per minute, so a cutter feeding them has to keep up with high-volume output. Ask our team about the cutting capacity you need for the maker you plan to run.
To plan the whole line, browse all of our cigarette wrapping machines and cigarette packing machines, and see the Cigarette Reclaimer CR 120 if you also want to recover tobacco from waste.
Fitting a cutter into your preparation line takes planning, so we recommend talking to our team before you decide. Use the Inquire Now button or contact us to ask about the condition of the machine, what is included with it, and the next steps for delivery and setup.
