2 Background to HT M S Our strength is our flexibility Hampshire Tobacco Machinery Services was established in 1986, drawing together people whose combined commitment to the tobacco engineering industry - both primary and secondary - totals more than 100 years. The launch and interest of the company initially was for the supply and manufacture of machine spare parts and re-engineered secondary machinery, as both individual machines or as complete maker / packer combinations, together with an after sales service for spare parts. Today, the principle interest of the company is the supply of new packaging equipment, centered on Hard Box, hinge lid packaging machinery, where its development started in the early 1980's through the experiences of rebuilding machinery with our former company. The company - John Payne Engineering - supplied all major companies with the service of rebuilding their existing machinery to a new level of demand which covered cigarette size and collation together with the need for innovation, updating to a new generation which had new concepts for operation. Such companies as B.A.T., RJ REYNOLDSand the IMPERIAL GROUP were all part of our clients It was through these years of that we developed the XL packer to it's current level of operation. We have in recent years assisted in turn key projects with Santa Fe Natural Tobacco of North Carolina USA, Mastermind Tobacco of Kenya and Similar Tobacco of Canada, with one of the last interesting exercises being to rebuild and supply for Northern Iraq. Here we give you a short overview of the situation. With this experience of upgrading and converting HLP Hard Box machinery, we found it necessary to introduce a new type of Hard Box packing machine to suit the pattern of a higher speed, with the necessary efficiency to sustain long term production. Although there are many companies engaged in this field worldwide and many larger than through their association with the O.E.M.'s - our Managing Director can uniquely claim to have been at the vanguard of those to introduce the concept of re-engineering to the industry. Our interest started within the tobacco industry during 1974, where we were invited to assist a number of UK and European production manufacturers to size change and develop existing machinery, raising it's efficiency and converting size in accordance with market trends, where both cigarette length and diameter created a interesting challenge in engineering for such conversions to take place on the clients individual machines. This background of experience gave our team an education in the need and direction to support all technical requirements where the format could be from a 5's Hinge Lid Pack, up to a 3 row 30's Cigarette Pack, adding a third dimension of cigarette length, up to 120mm.» AFlexible & Professional Team operating WorldWide sales@htms.demon.co.uk

3 --I XL515 HLP A new design and manufactured machine, based on the HLP2, but incorporating over 50 new features that have been developed with our experience in the field of cigarette packaging since The XL HLP comes with a total package of complimenting machinery from a Semi or Fully Automatic Tray Unloader through to Stampers, Wrappers, Boxers and Overwrappers all designed to work as a group of machines. The machine can be set to pack a wide range of collations from 5 to 30 cigarettes and in length up to 120mm. We also have a proven record of packing super slims 5.4mm cigarettes The packer is designed for maximum efficiency at speeds up to 225 packs per minute depending on machine type and layout. This has been made possible through extensive design features such as: Sealed scroll or conjugate cam gearboxes to control critical movements In house designed twin roller wall cams using harmonic movements Helical gears and sealed roller bearings for smoother running Replacement of reciprocating movements with constant flow whenever possible Machine control is by a state of the art PLC management system complete with HMI (Human machine interface) which collects data and reports faults at the end of each shift. Adjustments to machine parameters such as speeds and control timings are done through this interface. Two versions of the XL HLP are available XL Enterprise with straight to bed filler section, suitable for 1O's and 20's still with full detection of ends, but at a more cost conscience price and a slightly slower top speed. XL Advantage with conventional turret and hopper capable of all collations and able to run to the full speed dependant on local conditions. Also available are kits for many of the modification areas that are easily fitted to a customer's machine in the production factory. If a customer has a donor machine available or requires a rebuilt machine this is also available with many of the upgrades available to be fitted during rebuild to suit the customers requirements. We can supply a complete range of change parts to suit any product both for our machines and the original HLP 1 and 2 For spares and sales service, contact Sara Woodthorpe Contact: sara@htms.demon.co.uk For Electronic enquiries, contact Peter Woodthorpe Contact: peter@htms.demon.co.uk For Mechanical enquiries, contact Clive Hodson Contact: clive@htms.demon.co.uk A Flexible & PrOlesslonal Team DperaUng Worldwide sales@htms.demon.co.uk

4 XL400 Stamper has designed and manufactured a stamping machine that can work as a stand alone or part of a group of machines where stamps are applied prior to the Unit Wrapper. The machine can accept packs from end, front or rear or via a feed chute. Stamps can be placed on the front, rear or side of the packet and across the mitre join. If crossing the mitre a serration system is available to ease the opening of the packet. In operation stamps are removed from a fully adjustable magazine and transferred via a two stage vacuum wheel where glue is applied precisely with electronically controlled non-drip nozzle guns. Size, number and position of dots and lines are easily controlled. Packs are delivered under the application wheel via a flighted belt and then into a low temperature heated drying tower Another flighted belt takes the packets through an inspection and ejection stage before exiting the machine in the correct orientation to be wrapped Machine control is by a state of the art PLCmanagement system complete with HMI (Human machine interface) which collects data and reports faults at the end of each shift.

5 XL536 Turret Wrapper has designed and manufactured a high-speed linear motion, turret-wrapping machine, providing an excellent quality wrap with high efficiency at medium speeds. The machine can wrap soft and hard packs from a range of upstream equipment and will accept packets from end, front or rear of the wrapper. Machine control is by a state of the art PLCmanagement system complete with HMI (Human machine interface) which collects data and reports faults at the end of each shift. Adjustments to machine parameters such as speeds and control timings are done through this interface The machine has twin bobbin holders allowing fast change of bobbins up to 330mm diameter. The Tear tape applicator will handle bobbins up to Jumbo size. Change gears control cut length and a servo drive is available for printed film registration Packets are delivered via a flighted belt rotating pushers carefully take the packet from the belt, delivered through the film into a six stage gearbox indexed turret. Twin retracting heaters seal the lateral seam and the mitre ends are formed in an adjustable folding deck on the exit from the turret. Finally side sealing in achieved with moving heated side bands that are independently driven ensuring that all packets are taken from the heated zones without waste should the wrapper stop. Should the end user require an Ice Glass finish different shrink tunnels are available dependant on the final specification.
