Apart from the extra long garniture section, the setup of the Ares machine is based on a modular philosophy, using separate servo drives for all different stages in the process.This aspect greatly enhances the machine flexibility and capability to run on highly variable product specs.

Combine for a full cigar production line

The Ares rodmaker is the ideal machine to use in combination with the other high speed machines in the ITM cigar portfolio, such as the Orion headshaper, Aeolus spiral overroller, the Max 80 filter attachment machine and the Minerva/Minervus tip attachment machines.
