Understanding Focke Packer Consumable Needs
Focke 350 and 400 series packing machines are the workhorses of many cigarette factories. Proper maintenance of consumable parts directly impacts overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
Key Consumable Parts
| Component | Part Reference | Change Interval | Criticality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inner frame cutter roller | 350.13.8782 | 2-3 months | High |
| Tear tape knife | 3014.10.5U | 1-2 months | High |
| U-shape tear tape blade | ASGA4-type | Weekly inspection | Medium |
| Paper cutting roller shaft | HLP2-compatible | 6 months | Medium |
| Glue nozzle assembly | Focke standard | 3 months or as needed | Low |
Proactive Sourcing Strategy
For Focke packers, we recommend maintaining a minimum stock of 2 tear tape knives and 1 inner frame cutter per machine. Lead times for custom Focke parts can reach 4-6 weeks from some suppliers.
Quality Verification
When sourcing Focke parts from aftermarket suppliers:
- Verify the cutting edge angle matches OEM specification (±0.5°)
- Check surface finish — should be Ra 0.4µm or better
- Request material certification for hardened steel components (HRC 58-62)
