Each line runs from bulk tobacco feeding through dosing, flow-pack sealing, check weighing, cartoning and film wrapping. The lines were used from 2017-2018 to 2019 and have been idle since 2020.

Location: Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA. Available for inspection by appointment.

Reason for sale: the owner stopped plans for U.S. tobacco production because of FDA regulatory requirements. The equipment is not being sold because of any fault.
