Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Multi Segments Maker (MSM)?
Let me introduce you to one of our latest innovations. The modular and flexible Multi Segment Maker – MSM for short. The machine incorporates state-of-the-art technology and a modular machine concept. Customizable module combinations can produce a wide range of products at our customer’s facilities. The MSM is designed to produce heated tobacco products, a new category which only heats the consumable tobacco stick creating lower temperatures than burning a conventional cigarette. The machine's modularity provides investment security for our customers; if the geometry or design of the final product changes, the MSM can be adapted easily, thanks to its modular concept. The modularity in this detailed splitting of the process is unique. And to share some more impressive facts: the MSM can produce up to 10,000 products per minute with an efficiency of 90%.

Additional information

Flexible and customer-focused

The Multi Segment Maker (MSM) is designed for change and engineered to produce Heated Tobacco Products (HTP). With its modular machine concept it enables the customer to easily adapt to changing product requirements. The machines flexibility is perfect for changing market conditions and dynamic requirements.

The MSM produces so-called “Heat Sticks” – short sticks containing tobacco which are heated with an external heating source rather than burned. Heat sticks belong to the latest generation of risk reduced tobacco products and require flexible machines. Therefore, the MSM is not a large and uniform machine, but rather one that is adapted and subdivided into individual work steps.

Each MSM has been specially configured for the customer's particular application - the individual elements come from a system, which is similar to a flexible modular system. This combines the capabilities of various successful machine types. The MSM is thus also adaptable to all kinds of products and requirements and enables a quick reaction to market developments.
