The Tobacco Feeder is input equipment for a cigarette factory. It supplies tobacco to cigarette making machines in a steady, continuous and uniform flow, and it spreads the tobacco in an even layer to prepare it for production. It is supplied by Orchid Tobacco Dubai from our Jebel Ali Free Zone base as part of our wider range of tobacco machinery, and it is compatible with Mark 8 and Mark 9 machines, so it can fit into an existing setup.
A cigarette maker can only run as consistently as the tobacco it receives, so the feeder’s job is to keep that supply steady. It provides a steady tobacco flow and evenly layers the tobacco before it goes into production. Adjustable volume settings let your operators control the amount of tobacco fed, which improves production efficiency. Automation reduces manual handling and streamlines operations, so fewer people are needed to keep the maker supplied.
In a factory, the Tobacco Feeder sits at the very start of the line, in front of the cigarette making stage. It supplies tobacco to the Mark 8 and 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 manufacturers running a Mark 8 or Mark 9 who want steadier feeding and less manual handling, and plants adding or upgrading the supply stage of an existing line. If you run a different maker, ask our team whether the feeder can be matched to it.
The Tobacco Feeder is a supporting machine rather than an alternative to a cigarette maker, so the useful comparison is with the machines it works alongside. It is listed as compatible with the Mark 8 and Mark 9. For higher-output lines, look at the Protos 70 and Protos 80 ER, and ask our team how the supply stage should be set up for those machines.
Browse all of our cigarette manufacturing machines and cigarette wrapping machines to plan the rest of the line, and see the Cigarette Reclaimer CR 120 if you also want to recover tobacco from waste.
Matching a feeder to your maker 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. If you need parts for an existing Mark 8 or Mark 9 line, you can also browse our spare parts range.
