PROTOS-M5

PROTOS-M5 represents a new machine generation combining high output with high flexibility – producing up to 12,000 or 14,000 cpm.

The new zigzag feeder, cutting-edge automation and a fully twin track MAX with a patented sealed jet-gluing system for the tipping paper are the basis for an even higher quality standard. By reducing total waste, increasing the lifetime of wearing parts and adding a short tobacco recovery system, top quality cigarettes can be produced at even lower operating costs. And, in order to make the PROTOS-M5 into a real multi-brand maker, we have simplified conversion so that Quick Brand Change (QBC) or Quick Size Change (QSC) is performed within minutes. These innovative features, in addition to reduced operator workload and dramatically reduced noise levels of 78 dB(A) mean that PROTOS-M5 satisfies present and future market needs.
