The Molins Mark 8 D with Max 15 is a versatile cigarette making machine from the Mark 8 series, suited to manufacturers who want to build up production without giving up quality. It is supplied by Orchid Tobacco Dubai from our Jebel Ali Free Zone base as part of our wider range of tobacco machinery. The line is made up of two units: the MK-8D Cigarette Maker and the MAX-15 with 1117 Infeed Unit, which work together from tobacco feeding through to finished cigarette output.
The Mark 8 D with Max 15 runs at up to 3,000 cigarettes per minute. It handles cigarette circumferences from 17mm to 28.3mm and filter plus tobacco rod lengths from 65mm to 110mm, and it supports a wide spread of formats: King, Demi, Slims, Super Slims and Nano. That range lets a single machine serve several product lines, which is useful for manufacturers testing new formats or serving different markets.
The machine draws a total of 17KW and weighs 5,000 KG, so its power and installation demands are lower than the larger high-speed lines in our range.
In a factory, the Mark 8 D with Max 15 forms the cigarette making and filter assembly stage of the line. The MK-8D maker forms the cigarettes, and the MAX-15 with 1117 infeed unit handles the next stage, ready to feed on to your cigarette packing machines.
It suits start-up and growing manufacturers who need dependable output at a moderate speed, factories running several formats from one machine, and plants adding a second line. With a lower power draw and weight than the high-speed Protos line, it is also easier to plan around when floor space or electrical capacity is limited.
The closest step up is the Mark 9 range. The Molins MK-9 with Max S runs at 4,500 to 5,000 cigarettes per minute with a Hauni Max-S filter assembler and mass flow tray filler, so it suits manufacturers who have outgrown 3,000 cigarettes per minute. If servo drives and microwave weight control matter to you, look at the Molins Mark 9.5 with Lenze Servo Drives.
For high-volume production, compare the Protos 70 at up to 7,000 cigarettes per minute on regular diameters, or the Protos 80 ER at up to 8,000. You can also browse all of our cigarette making machines to compare models side by side.
