The Octave combines the best of both worlds - based on the highly successful Mk9 maker concept, the new machine is immediately familiar on first appearance and is reassuringly similar to operate. Under the sleek new guarding however, the machine has been engineered to utilise the latest technology that is proven to deliver enhanced quality and performance. The Octave reliably produces cigarettes at 8000cpm.
The Octave utilizes independent drives for quieter running, quicker brand changes and increased reliability. Improvements to the hopper allow optimisation of tobacco handling in line with the characteristics of modern tobacco blends. This combined with a new nylon band suction chamber incorporating an improved interface to the garniture, gives unparalleled rod formation.
In line with modern production demands, the inspection system now measures more parameters associated with individual cigarette quality, such as rod diameter, ventilation and pressure drop. Weight analysis is further enhanced with rod scanning microwave technology. All inspection, ejection and sampling functions are controlled by Molins high speed controller improving the weight control response time, resolution and overall production consistency.
The latest Siemens touch-screen display provides an intuitive 3D operator interface and remote connectivity to management information systems.
The Octave also benefits considerably from MTM's partners who specialise in improving the quality and lifespan of existing parts.
The result is a truly exceptional machine that is set to have the same impact on the tobacco industry as the original Mk9 machine.
