Model ZJ17, a high-speed cigarette making and filter assembling machine group, is made under introducing the technology of PROTOS 70 from Hauni Maschinebau AG Germany by China National Tobacco Corporation, in the way of Technology-Trade combined cooperation in 1992. It is manufactured by Changde Tobacco Machinery Co., Ltd after technology digestion and absorption, innovation and improvement, having features as follows:

　　1. Stable production: The cigarette output is 7000cig/min, the max. tobacco rod forming speed is 490m/min.

　　2. Ensure high quality cigarettes, and automatically detect air leakage, loose end, filter missing, soft spots, hard spots, too light, too heavy and other substandard cigarettes in the production process.

　　3. Complete trouble- shooting system: It can automatically test the faults when it goes wrong, and then raise the alarm, display the faults, stop running to analyze and make statistics on faults.

　　4. Complete weight control system: It measure cigarette weight with high-precision control, and it can offset automatically to save cut tobacco, greatly reducing the production cost of cigarette factories.

　　5. Automatic monitoring performed in manufacturing process: It can automatically analyze, make statistics and management for production data, and output the data in report forms.

　　6. Convenient and efficient human-computer interaction system.

　　7. With small volume and weight, less area is possessed.
