Cigarette Machine Part Numbering Systems
Each major cigarette machine manufacturer uses a unique part numbering system. Understanding these systems helps you decode part numbers, verify correct parts, and identify cross-references. This guide covers the four major brands we support.
Molins Part Numbers
Molins used a 5-7 digit numeric system with prefix letters indicating machine type:
- MK/MK8/MK9 parts: Prefix "C" (consumables) or "M" (mechanical assemblies)
- Format: e.g., C-12345 or M-6789
- Suffix letters: Indicate revision level (A, B, C...)
- Example: C-12345-B = third revision of consumable part 12345
- Legacy Molins systems used additional prefixes for MAX S parts ("MA-")
Hauni / Körber Part Numbers
Hauni (now Körber Technologies) uses a 7-digit base number with optional letter suffixes:
- Base number: 7 digits identifying the specific part
- Letter suffixes: Indicate material variant, coating, or revision
- Machine prefix: Earlier parts may include machine model prefix (e.g., "PROTOS-" or "KDF-")
- Example: 1234567.01 or 1234567-01 (variant .01 = standard material, .02 = wear-resistant)
- Parts for newer machines (M5, KDF 6) use an 8-digit extended system
Focke Part Numbers
Focke uses a machine-specific numbering system with model prefix:
- Format: Machine model + sequential number + revision letter
- Example: 486-12345-A or 700-67890-B
- Parts shared across models may have a cross-reference note in Focke documentation
- Consumables (knives, belts) are grouped in 400-series and 500-series ranges
G.D Part Numbers
G.D uses the most complex system, with numbers that encode machine family and component type:
- Format: XX-YYYYYY-ZZ (family-code + sequential number + revision)
- Machine family codes: X1 (01-), X2 (02-), X3 (03-), X6 (06-)
- Example: 01-123456-00 = X1 machine part, base revision
- Consumable parts use "C" prefix (e.g., C-01-12345)
- G.D frequently revises parts without clear documentation — verify revision level before ordering
Cross-Referencing Between Brands
We maintain a cross-reference database mapping equivalent parts across brands where they exist (typically for items like standard bearings, seals, and fasteners). For machine-specific wear parts, part numbers are unique to each manufacturer.
