IMS Technologies – Precision Slitting and Winding for the Tobacco Industry

IMS Technologies delivers state-of-the-art slitter rewinders for the tobacco industry, trusted by major international cigarette paper manufacturers for decades. Our machines are designed to convert cigarette papers, including LIP (Low Ignition Propensity), tipping papers, plug-wrap papers, and specialty tobacco fiber papers, ensuring absolute precision, top-quality bobbins, and outstanding reliability throughout the production process.

Tobacco papers require special care due to their material-specific characteristics, including air permeability and porosity. IMS Technologies slitter rewinders are engineered to handle these delicate materials, guaranteeing perfect bobbin separation, narrow bobbin production, and high print-to-cut accuracy for printed tipping papers through sensitive pressure and web tension control.

Our solutions provide maximum flexibility and efficiency, with ergonomic designs that reduce maintenance and setup times. Optional automation features include automatic bobbin sealing with hot glue, automatic feeding of wrapping papers, and fully integrated handling and transport systems, such as unloading trolleys or robotic palletizing of finished bobbins. IMS Technologies machines enable tobacco manufacturers and converters to quickly adapt to changing requirements across the entire production value chain while maintaining top-quality output and high productivity.
