4-Brand Spare Parts Compatibility Guide -- Molins, Hauni, Focke and G.D
A question we hear regularly: can I use a part from my Molins machine on my Hauni PROTOS? The answer is sometimes yes but you need to know what you are doing. Here is our practical guide to cross-brand compatibility.
Parts That Can Cross Brands Safely
- Cutting Knives: Many 22mm round cutting knives are dimensionally identical across brands -- match the material grade
- Garniture Tapes: The 32mm x 1.2mm tape for Molins MK8 also fits some Focke wrapping machines
- Fasteners: M6 and M8 bolts, washers, and locating pins are often interchangeable with low risk
Parts That Must Be Brand Specific
- Tongue and horn assemblies are machine specific -- never substitute across brands
- Suction belts are designed for specific drum diameter and hole patterns
- Drum rollers are precision matched -- interchanging causes timing issues
- Always verify part numbers with our cross-reference database before substituting
