How 2-in-1 Extrusion Eliminates Sticky-Leaf Funnel Bridging

Within molasses extruder and foil wrappers, the 2-in-1 horizontal extruding + pillow wrapping architecture (BS-350XL class) became the global workhorse for 50 g and 250 g hookah bricks by merging positive screw extrusion directly with bottom-or-top-reel horizontal flow wrapping. Instead of dropping loose wet tobacco down a vertical tube, counter-rotating hopper paddles feed twin stainless screws that extrude a calibrated rectangular ribbon directly into the folding foil tunnel!

Heated longitudinal fin wheels seal the back seam continuously while non-stick rotary end-seal jaws cut and crimp individual 50 g, 100 g, or 250 g bricks at 40–180 packs/min.

Five-stage commercial 50g and 250g shisha packaging line from twin-screw molasses extrusion through foil wrapping, cartoning, tax stamping, and 3D BOPP bundling
Extruding sticky cut-leaf molasses directly into a horizontal foil tube eliminates vertical funnel bridging completely.

Published speed ranges across oblique-auger vertical baggers, rotary premade pouchers, 1.4 kW portion sachet machines, 3D carton wrappers, and BS-350XL extruder-wrappers
Line balance tip: one 120 BPM BS-350XL foil extruder-wrapper pairs cleanly with a 120 CPM cartoner, 100–130 CPM 3D overwrapper, and 12–15 BPM 10-pack bundler.
