Focke 800 Series Cigarette Packing Machine Spare Parts: Complete Guide
The Focke 800 series represents the latest generation of German-engineered cigarette packing machines. Building on the legacy of the Focke 700 series, the 800 series (including models 801, 802, and 803) offers higher output speeds, improved efficiency, and advanced automation features. At ZTLibre, we supply a comprehensive range of OEM-quality spare parts for the Focke 800 series, ensuring your packaging line operates at peak performance.
Focke 800 Series — An Overview
The Focke 800 series was designed for high-speed cigarette packaging applications. The platform consists of three main configurations:

- Focke 802 — Hinge-lid (hard pack) packaging, capable of 550 packs/min
- Focke 803 — Premium/combination packaging with advanced inspection systems
Each model shares a common modular architecture but has specific spare part requirements that operators need to understand for effective maintenance planning.
