The PM5ETO6E is an integrated tow opening and plug making combination for the production of cellulose acetate filter rods. The TO6E will handle all current types of cellulose acetate and liquid plasticizer, with all controls in easy access while the roll area is safely guarded with transparent covers. After they have been produced, the filters end up in the FlexLink buffer located above the two Molins lines; from here, they are conveyed by belts towards the Pegasus 3000s, which distribute them to the cigarette-making machinery.
