Cigarette production and packaging process
After the preparation and conditioning process, the tobacco is ready for the production of the cigarette. We have arrived at the phase called “Secondary”, consisting of the production of the actual cigarette, and the packaging of the packs of 20 cigarettes, the sticks of 200 cigarettes and the master cases of 50 sticks.

Creation of the cigarette
Maker G.D 121/G.D AF12
The shredded tobacco arrives from the Silos in G.D 121 where in a first phase it is automatically checked and parts not suitable for production are discarded. The material obtained is transformed into a double continuous worm (paper + shredded) which continuously feeds the G.D AF12. The filter insert G.D AF12 takes the filter rods coming from the machines producing the filters, Molins PM5, cuts them to size and glues them to the worm coming from G.D 121 to finally obtain the finished product, the cigarette.

Warehouse for cigarettes
Buffer G.D B21
The G.D B21 is a warehouse for cigarettes of the FIFO (First In – First Out) type, capable of guaranteeing complete product traceability. It is used to directly connect the maker and packer to the cigarette production line. The cigarettes from the makers are stored in the buffer. Once filled, the Buffer is gradually emptied by the packing machines.

Production process and filter distribution system
The production of filters, obtained with the latest technologies, is a flagship for Yesmoke.
The filter is an extremely important and delicate element, because it determines the correct balance of the cigarette, and is subjected to constant quality control by laboratory technicians.

Production of cigarette filters and filter warehouse
Molins PM5/TO6E & FlexLink filter buffer
PM5E / TO6E is an integrated system for the combination of raw materials for the production of cellulose acetate filter rods. The TO6E is able to manage all types of cellulose acetate and liquid plasticizer, with easy access to all controls, all securely protected with transparent covers.
Once produced, the filters are conveyed into the FlexLink buffer located above the two Molins lines from where you can be transported from the belts to the Pegasus 3000, which distribute them to the makers.

Filter distribution system
Molins Pegasus 3000
Molins Pegasus 3000 is a filter distribution system. The filters from the Molins PM5 / TO6E are fired with compressed air through a system towards the makers. The system is completely modular. Each distribution module is completely autonomous, with its own separate motor, air supply and control system.

warehouse of the finished product
The master cases reach the warehouse by means of a conveyor belt. Here the robot creates the pallets and organizes them completely automatically.

Palletizing system with the robot
ABB IRB 660/FlexLink
It is a fast, high-performance machine. The robot picks up the cartons with the sticks from the production lines and places them on platforms. The design and the palletizing system were carried out by FlexLink.
