Background toHTMS Our strength is our flexibility

Hampshire Tobacco Machinery Services was established in 1986,

drawing together people whose combined commitment to the

tobacco engineering industry - both primary and secondary -

totals more than 100 years.

The launch and interest of the company initially was for the

supply and manufacture of machine spare parts and

re-engineered secondary machinery, as both individual machines

or as complete maker / packer combinations, together with an

after sales service for spare parts.

Today, the principle interest of the company is the supply of new

packaging equipment, centered on Hard Box, hinge lid packaging

machinery, where its development started in the early 1980's

through the experiences of rebuilding machinery with our former

company. The company - John Payne Engineering - supplied all

major companies with the service of rebuilding their existing

machinery to a new level of demand which covered cigarette size

and collation together with the need for innovation, updating to

a new generation which had new concepts for operation. Suchcompanies as B.A.T., RJ REYNOLDSand the IMPERIAL GROUP

were all part of our clients

With this experience of upgrading and converting HLP Hard Box

machinery, we found it necessary to introduce a new type of Hard

Box packing machine to suit the pattern of a higher speed, with

the necessary efficiency to sustain long term production.

Although there are many companies engaged in this field

worldwide and many larger than HTMS through their association

with the O.E.M.'s - our Managing Director can uniquely claim to

have been at the vanguard of those to introduce the concept of

re-engineering to the industry.

Our interest started within the tobacco industry during 1974,

where we were invited to assist a number of UK and European

production manufacturers to size change and develop existing

machinery, raising it's efficiency and converting size in accor-

dance with market trends, where both cigarette length and

diameter created a interesting challenge in engineering for such

conversions to take place on the clients individual machines.

This background of experience gave our team an education in

the need and direction to support all technical requirements

where the format could be from a 5's Hinge Lid Pack, up to a 3

row 30's Cigarette Pack, adding a third dimension of cigarette

length, up to 120mm.

It was through these years of 1980-1995 that we developed the

XL packer to it's current level of operation. We have in recent

years assisted in turn key projects with Santa Fe Natural Tobacco

of North Carolina USA, Mastermind Tobacco of Kenya and

Similar Tobacco of Canada, with one of the last interesting

exercises being to rebuild and supply for Northern Iraq. Here we

give you a short overview of the situation.

XL515 HLPA new design and manufactured machine, based on the HLP2,but incorporating over 50 new features that have beendeveloped with our experience in the field of cigarettepackaging since 1974. The XL HLP comes with a total packageof complimenting machinery from a Semi or Fully AutomaticTray Unloader through to Stampers, Wrappers, Boxers andOverwrappers all designed to work as a group of machines.

The machine can be set to pack a wide range of collations from5 to 30 cigarettes and in length up to 120mm. We also have aproven record of packing super slims 5.4mm cigarettes

The packer is designed for maximum efficiency at speeds upto 225 packs per minute depending on machine type andlayout. This has been made possible through extensivedesign features such as:

• Sealed scroll or conjugate cam gearboxes to controlcritical movements

• In house designed twin roller wall cams usingharmonic movements

• Helical gears and sealed roller bearings forsmoother running

• Replacement of reciprocating movements withconstant flow whenever possible

Machine control is by a state of the art PLC managementsystem complete with HMI (Human machine interface) whichcollects data and reports faults at the end of each shift.Adjustments to machine parameters such as speeds andcontrol timings are done through this interface.

Two versions of the XL HLP are available

XL Enterprise with straight to bed filler section, suitable for1O's and 20's still with full detection of ends, but at a morecost conscience price and a slightly slower top speed.

XL Advantage with conventional turret and hopper capable ofall collations and able to run to the full speed dependant onlocal conditions.

Also available are kits for many of the modification areas thatare easily fitted to a customer's machine in theproduction factory.

If a customer has a donor machine available or requires arebuilt machine this is also available with many of theupgrades available to be fitted during rebuild to suit thecustomers requirements.

We can supply a complete range of change parts to suit anyproduct both for our machines and the original HLP 1 and 2

XL400 StamperHTMShas designed and manufactured a stamping machinethat can work as a stand alone or part of a group ofmachines where stamps are applied prior to the UnitWrapper. The machine can accept packs from end, front orrear or via a feed chute. Stamps can be placed on the front,rear or side of the packet and across the mitre join. Ifcrossing the mitre a serration system is available to easethe opening of the packet.

In operation stamps are removed from a fully adjustablemagazine and transferred via a two stage vacuumwheel where glue is applied precisely with electronicallycontrolled non-drip nozzle guns. Size, number and positionof dots and lines are easily controlled.

Packs are delivered under the application wheel via aflighted belt and then into a low temperature heateddrying tower

Another flighted belt takes the packets through aninspection and ejection stage before exiting the machine inthe correct orientation to be wrapped

Machine control is by a state of the art PLCmanagementsystem complete with HMI (Human machine interface)which collects data and reports faults at the end of eachshift. Adjustments to machine parameters such as speedsand control timings are done through this interface

speeds from 3000 sticks per minute (150 packets) up to

6000 sticks per min (300 packets).

The range for cigarette packaging can be engineered to

give the same flexibilities as the Hard Box Packer, covering

cigarettes size from 6.5-8mm diameter and cigarette length

from 70 up to 120mm. The extreme sizes within the range

are subject to specialist engineering.

The basic set-up for the range is with the use of Laminated

Aluminium Foil and Tissue, with Cut Label and Cut Stamp.

Options for reel fed systems, covering both Label and

Closure Stamps are available.

We offer the 5000 series Packer with built-in modifications

of the 6000 series machine t 0 maintain a speed of 250

packets per minute. With the use of the Triple Plunger

operation in conjunction with the modified Hopper, thus

enabling the machine to deliver 3 collated bundles in one

plunge into the Arbor Turret.

Due to increasing demand, we are covering more stock

items of spares to suit the range of the AM F/SASIB series

of Soft Packers.

To identify spare parts which vary from the traditionally

known spares, is the greatest problem. The serial number

of machinery, complete with part number & sub-assembly

item number would advise full information for HTMS to
