What are roll-up machines?

We all remember from childhood how our grandfathers twisted "hand-rolled" from newsprint and tobacco. Now it has become much easier to make your own cigarettes. For several years now, roller coasters have become quite a fashionable smoking accessory. First of all, let's figure out what is the difference between cigarette rolling machines and cigarette rollers.

• You can make several cigarettes at the same time;
• There are models with the ability to manufacture cigarettes of large diameters and sizes;
• Often, devices are made of high quality plastic or metal;
• More expensive than cigarette rollers, but have a longer service life;
• In the manufacture of cigarettes, only special sleeves are used, which are sold separately;
• Making cigarettes is much easier and faster.

Rollers for cigarette

• The body and parts are made of plastic or metal and its alloys;
• Lower manufacturing speed;
• Mobile, you can take with you on the road;
• Compact size;
• It is possible to make cigarettes 110 mm long, as well as 70 mm and 79 mm;

Types of curling devices

There are several types of cigarette rolling machines that differ from a mechanical point of view.

• Injection

Allows you to very quickly make a whole pack of cigarettes. For these machines, only small and medium fractions are used. Semi-automatic method of rolling cigarettes. The amount of tobacco loaded into the paper can be adjusted. Some models are equipped with an automatic paper curler, others do it manually.

• Manual

These are the simplest and most inexpensive types of roll-on machines. They are compact, portable and lightweight. If you are new to this business, then using a manual typewriter will be quite difficult. The entire process, from making the paper tube and filter, to filling with tobacco, will be done by hand. It will take a lot of time to roll one cigarette on this machine.

• Automatic

The principle of operation of automatic devices is similar to injection devices. These are more expensive devices powered by the mains supply. Allows to make 20 cigarettes in an even shorter period than injector ones. An automatic clipper is the best option for beginners in this business.

How to use a curling machine?

Below are instructions for using the curling machine.

• Each machine has a separate compartment for filling with tobacco. It needs to be lightly powdered, the tobacco should have free space between the grains. No need to tamp it.
• Then gently turn the roller clockwise to remove excess tobacco.
• Scroll the roller several times so that the tobacco mixture is compacted to the required density. If it takes too much effort to scroll, then you need to remove the excess tobacco and repeat the procedure again.
• Then, on the other side of the machine, insert the cigarette paper so that the glue surface remains at the top. At the same time, the video itself should be at the top.
• After most of the paper is inside the mechanism, moisten the glue side of the paper with water and screw it all the way into the machine.

What to look for when buying a curling machine?

• First of all, decide what type of device you want to buy. Beginners are advised to be automatic, and more prepared individuals can use manual ones. Also note that for automatic devices, you must purchase ready-made cigarette sleeves, and not roll out of paper.
• The material from which the device is made is also an important factor. The duration of its use will depend on this.
• The size. Here is another factor that determines the choice of the device. Less is more mobile.
• And, of course, the price, manual ones are cheaper, automatic ones, on the contrary.
