Cigarette & Tobacco Machinery Manufacturers in Pakistan
Manufacturing Machines
Making a good cigarette starts long before the pack. It starts with a maker that lays down an even rod, a filter line that cuts clean, and tobacco machinery that keeps the whole floor fed. Civic Tobacco Machinery supplies cigarette manufacturing machines in Pakistan across all three areas.
The maker is the heart of any cigarette factory. It takes cut tobacco and paper and turns them into a finished rod, thousands of times a minute, without a break in quality. Civic Tobacco Machinery supplies cigarette making machines in Pakistan that are built to hold that pace.
A cigarette manufacturing machine, often called the maker, takes cut tobacco and rolling paper and forms them into a continuous rod, attaches a filter, and cuts the rod into individual cigarettes at high speed. Models differ mainly in how fast they run and how evenly they hold rod density and filter alignment as that speed increases.
Every maker in our range is built around the same core stages, though the specific units vary by model:
Our range runs from 1,800 cigarettes per minute on the Molins Mark 8 Post 64 up to 8,000 cigarettes per minute on the Protos 80 ER, giving factories a genuine choice depending on their production targets. Moving to a higher-speed maker typically brings:
Moving from manual or semi-automated production to a fully automated maker changes what a factory can realistically commit to:
All seven makers run the same 17mm–28.3mm circumference and 65mm–110mm filter-and-tobacco rod length range, so the practical differences between them come down to speed, power draw and weight. Here’s how they stack up side by side.
| Model | Speed | Power | Weight | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mark 8 Post 64 | 1,800–2,000 cpm | — | 3,500 kg | Entry maker line, reliable backup maker |
| Mark 8D MAX 15 | 3,000 cpm | 17 KW | 5,000 kg | High-volume production, multi-format factories |
| Mark 9.5 (Lenze Servo Drives) | 3,500 cpm (regular), 3,200 cpm (slim) | MK-9.5 35 KW + MAX-S 20 KW + HCF80 15 KW | 8,600 kg | High-volume production, multi-format factories |
| Mark-9.5 (Max S & Tray Filler) | 4,500–5,000 cpm | — | 7,800 kg | High-volume production, export-ready manufacturing |
| MK-9 (Max S) | 4,500–5,000 cpm | — | 7,800 kg | High-volume production, main maker line |
| Protos 70 | 7,000 cpm (regular), 6,000 cpm (slim) | S7000 50 KW + M8000 20 KW + F80 15 KW | 10,800 kg | High-volume production, large-scale manufacturing |
| Protos 80 ER | 8,000 cpm (regular), 7,000 cpm (slim) | S7000 50 KW + M8000 20 KW + F80 15 KW | 10,800 kg | High-volume production, large-scale manufacturing |
Civic Tobacco Machinery has supplied and supported cigarette making machines from the SITE industrial estate in Karachi since 1990, working with factories across Pakistan and export markets beyond it. A few reasons factories keep coming back to us:
The right maker depends on your target output, product formats, and what the rest of your line is already running, not just which machine has the highest speed rating. A few things worth checking before you commit:
For a full walkthrough of these questions, see our guide on how to choose the right cigarette making machine. Tell us your target output and the brands you already run, and we’ll point you to a maker that actually fits your line, whether that’s a Molins Mark 8 for a modest run or a faster Mark 9.5 or Protos for high-volume production.
Every factory’s starting point is different, so we don’t push the same machine on everyone. New, used and reconditioned machines are all genuinely available, priced for different budgets, and every reconditioned unit is inspected, serviced and tested before it leaves us. Our engineers stay involved through setup, so the machine you buy performs the way it was described to you.
Most of our makers go to factories across Pakistan, but we also export equipment to markets including Bangladesh, Turkey, Indonesia, Poland, Bulgaria and beyond. See our export destinations for more on how we ship and support machinery outside Pakistan.
We supply the full making line: Molins Mark 8, Mark 9 and Mark 9.5 makers and Hauni Protos makers, plus KDF and Molins filter makers and the tobacco feeders, cutters and reclaimers that support them.
Depending on the model, our makers run from around 1,800 up to 8,000 cigarettes per minute, so you can match the machine to your target output.
Both. Reconditioned Molins and Hauni machines are fully inspected, serviced and tested before sale, offering strong value for growing factories.
Yes. We make sure the maker, filter line and packing line run in step so the whole production line stays balanced. Tell us your brands and target output and we'll recommend a setup.
Yes. Alongside our Pakistan-based customers, we export cigarette manufacturing machines to markets including Bangladesh, Turkey, Indonesia, Poland, and Bulgaria.
Tell us your format, target output and budget. We will recommend the right machine, new or reconditioned, and help you get it running.
