The Cigarette Reclaimer CR 120 recovers reusable tobacco from the waste produced during cigarette manufacturing, with minimal losses. It is supplied by Orchid Tobacco Dubai from our Jebel Ali Free Zone base as part of our wider range of tobacco machinery. The machine separates tobacco from waste, so material that would otherwise be thrown away goes back into your process. It is simple to operate and easy to install in a production line.
The CR 120 reclaims up to 120 kg of tobacco per hour. It is rated at 99.8% efficiency and a 90% recovery rate, so the large majority of recoverable tobacco in the waste stream is separated out and returned to use. For a factory, the practical result is lower material waste and a better return on every kilogram of tobacco you buy.
In a factory, the reclaimer works alongside the cigarette making stage, where waste is produced. Rejected and damaged cigarettes and other tobacco waste from your cigarette manufacturing machines, such as the Mark 8, Mark 9 or Protos 70, can be fed to the reclaimer so the tobacco is recovered rather than lost.
Waste is also created further down the line, so the machine is useful for any plant that runs cigarette packing machines such as the HLP-225, HLP-2 or HLP-1.5, or cigarette wrapping machines. It suits any manufacturer that wants to cut tobacco costs and reduce waste, from growing factories to larger plants.
The CR 120 is not an alternative to a cigarette maker or packer. It is a supporting machine that works with them, and it is the one to add when waste recovery is the goal. The size of the saving depends on how much waste your making and packing lines produce, and the reclaimer’s 120 kg per hour capacity is the figure to compare against that volume.
If you are also planning the main line, compare our making machines. The Protos 80 ER runs at up to 8,000 cigarettes per minute and the Protos 70 at up to 7,000, and both produce the kind of waste a reclaimer can recover.

The CR 120 is described as easy to install in a production line, but where it sits depends on your layout, 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.
