The KDF-2 is built for factories that need both precision and real throughput in filter production, and its engineering quality has made it a trusted choice among large-scale manufacturers.
It processes acetate tow at 400 metres a minute, a pace matched by genuine versatility: filter circumferences from 16.8mm to 28.1mm and filter lengths from 64mm to 150mm cover everything from standard King Size filters to more specialised formats, with minimal downtime between them.
Automation is where the KDF-2 stands apart. A PLC control system in Siemens or Beckhoff configuration gives full control and real-time monitoring, while a high-performance Lenze or Beckhoff servo system keeps movement accurate, holding filter quality uniform across long runs.
It pairs with a tow opener and the HCF80 automatic tray filler to cut manual handling, drawing 40KW for the main unit and 15KW for the HCF80, a workable balance of energy use and output.
Despite the capability on offer, the KDF-2 keeps a manageable footprint at around 6,500kg, with a solid build for long-term durability, whether it is going into a new facility or replacing older machinery.
