FACTS AND FIGURES.
Twin-rod cigarette maker PROTOS 2C: An established performer - and other product news.
CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS
“CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT PLUS KEEN STAFF.”
Larry Beckman, Director of Engineering at Lorillard, talks to HiLiTE about what makes their top-selling US menthol cigarette so successful, the constant bid to keep the cigarette factory technically upgraded and the company’s growth strategies in a stagnating market.
THE SEARCH FOR UNCONVENTIONAL NATURAL GAS.
Existing reserves of fossil fuels would appear to be stretched in the face of rising global demand for energy. However, new technologies are discovering ways to tap existing wells more effectively and turn previously inaccessible resources into a profitable opportunity.
REDUCE ENERGY COSTS WITH THE M GENERATION.
Operator can achieve energy savings of up to 30% with M-generation makers connected to a central cooling unit. This reduces costs and makes an important contribution to achieving greater sustainability in cigarette production.
GOING PLACES.
Launched two years ago, the versatile Nano-S cigarette makers have been very well received, many of them are already in operation at customers’ manufacturing facilities. A recent destination was the Indian Ocean Tobacco Company.
SAVINGS - MADE BY LASER.
Online lasers from Hauni offer many benefits that give them the edge over preperforated tipping. Apart from performance and precision, factors that contribute to the laser’s popularity also include significantly lower production costs and rapid amortization.
LOGISTICS UNITS ADD FLEXIBILITY AND PRESERVE QUALITY.
Modern makers cannot achieve their full speed potential within a production system without properly configured logistics. To ensure that makers, storage units and tray systems function together in complete harmony, Hauni is offering updates for logistics units that will put even more performance, dependability and flexibility into the manufacturing process.
KEEP YOUR EQUIPMENT IN GOOD SHAPE.
Improve quality, increase efficiency, boost production performance – and all for a modest investment. The Technical Improvement Program (TIP) and modernizations/upgrades from Hauni put your machines and equipment back on the cutting edge of technology.
250 COURSES – LEARNING BY DOING.
Hauni’s Training Centre in Hamburg always seems to buzz with activity. Popular with customers across the entire world, it offers over 250 courses for their set-up technicians, mechanics, electrical engineers and operators.
EXPERIENCE AND RESPONSIBILITY
THE ORIENT EXPRESS’ BEAUTIFUL SISTER.
A journey on the Eastern & Oriental Express from Bangkok to Singapore is like returning to days gone by.
LANDMARKS, SIGNATURES AND STARS IN THE WORLD OF ARCHITECTURE.
For some 20 years, a handful of architects have been considered the stars of the building industry. How do they attain star status, why do some never achieve fame and has their time perhaps already passed? Architecture expert Dirk Meyhöfer casts his eye over the scene.
GREEN AT HEART.
Sustainable building is not just an issue for private housing. These days, architects’ green dreams are inspiring office building and factory design, a trend that appeals to urban planners as they realize that costs can be cut by saving resources.
CALL IT STOVE PIPE SPONGE.
This is a creature that lives on the ocean floor. What appears to be a mouth and eyes are actually digestive filters: about eating through stove pipes.
