MLT lasers are used as an online laser perforation system in various cigarette machines. Here, finished cigarettes are perforated during production.
We also offer stand-alone systems for the perforation of cigarette paper in a roll-to-roll process; depending on the expansion stage, with an automatic cutting unit for the production of individual rolls.
For THP - Tobacco Heating Products, we offer special laser systems that are fully customised to the technical requirements of our customers.
Laser perforation enables safe compliance with the legal limits for modern filter cigarettes. As this manufacturing process reduces the tar and nicotine content of the cigarettes, the products used to be known as ‘light cigarettes’.
Manufacturers in the tobacco and paper processing industry around the world have been using MLT laser perforation systems for well over two decades. We offer customised solutions that guarantee very high productivity and high-quality perforation. The machines are often used by MLT customers in three-shift operation.
Our laser perforation systems are available in various configuration levels. Many systems work with our patented MLT poly technology, which enables optimised hole quality and system stability. They can handle winding speeds of up to 800 m/min.
Benefit from our many years of global experience: We provide you with expert support in the design, production and global commissioning of customised complete solutions.
