Feeding Solutions
As the feeding process has nothing to do with separating different sized tobacco particles, HEINEN KÖHL uses the principle of gravity feeding to avoid tobacco degradation.
Gravity Feeder (GF3/GF6)
FEEDING WITHOUT DEGRADATION AND DE-BLENDING
The compact GF-Type with an integrated metering chute allows smooth dosing of all cut tobacco types serving the pneumatic feeding to cigarette machines or to the MYO filling equipment.
The perfect solution for high-speed makers up to 20.000 cpm
The feeder speed is a dynamic variable according to the request of the maker.
Additional features are the large service doors, easy product discharge of unused tobacco and integrated blockage detection.
GF3 = max. 3 duct interfaces
GF6 = max. 6 duct interfaces
QuadFeed (QF4)
FREE FALL FEEDING
The HEINEN KÖHL QuadFeed QF4 is a gravity feeder performing at high speed and is designed to feed uniformly up to four cigarette makers.
The QuadFeed QF4 is a unique feeder due to the usage of guiding plates with quick configuration response to tobacco demand of the makers connected.
Depending on the activated feeding pipes the plates find the right constellation and so guide the tobacco flow to the pipes.
Vacuum switches are installed for blockage detection.
