Problems with electric cigarette tubes filler

Proper maintenance of your Powermatic machine will keep it in perfect condition and ensure smooth operation. If you do not maintain your cigarette maker properly, the quality of the cigarettes produced will decrease and you will definitely have problems during cigarette production.

Poor maintenance is often at the root of problems in cigarette production. Of course, it also happens that there is a technical problem with the Powermatic, but our experience is that in 90% of cases, the user does not maintain the machine.

If the ends of the tubes tear during cigarette production, you usually use too much tobacco, or the tobacco is too moist to make the cigarettes. It is also possible that the machine has become sticky on the inside due to (invisible) tobacco deposits. As a result, the tobacco does not slip out as easily and the tubes get more force, which can cause them to tear. In this case, we recommend cleaning the machine according to the instructions below. Switching from stringy tobacco to tobacco with a short fibrous volume also often works wonders.


How to maintain an electrical machine

Maintenance of an electric cigarette machine is essential to ensure that it functions efficiently and optimally. Regular maintenance is essential to keep your electric cigarette machine correct and in good condition. Here are some simple tips for maintaining your electric cigarette machine:

1. Keep it clean. Dust, dirt and debris can accumulate inside the device and cause it to malfunction or overheat. Wipe the device with a damp cloth every few weeks to keep it dust-free.

2. Blow out regularly. Use compressed air to blow accumulated dust and dirt out of the unit's vents. This ensures that the air flow inside the unit remains smooth, and that dust particles do not interfere with operation.

3. Lubricate regularly. Electric cigarette machines need lubrication to operate smoothly and efficiently, so it is important to grease all moving parts every few months or so with a special lubricant for electronic equipment (such as WD-40). This will keep your electric cigarette machine working smoothly and extend its lifespan.

By following these simple maintenance tips, you can ensure that your electric cigarette machine stays in top condition for years to come!


Cleaning Powermatic 2 and 4

With prolonged use of the Powermatic 2, we have noticed a lot of tobacco residue in the machines and tobacco residue sticking to the blade.

The most effective way to remove tobacco residue in the injection slot is with the brush provided with the machine. Designed specifically for cleaning the internal parts of machines, this brush can get into tight spaces to remove stubborn bits of tobacco. Simply insert the brush into the machine and gently scrub away any visible residue. The brush bristles easily dig into all the nooks and crannies where tobacco sticks accumulate. After removing all traces of tobacco, blow away any loose particles left in the machine.

Over time, the lever becomes increasingly difficult to handle.

This is only visible on the inside of the cigarette machine, do not open it if your machine is still under warranty. Otherwise, your warranty will expire.

We recommend blowing out sufficiently and regularly spraying WD40 or anti-grip on certain parts:

- In the injection area and then clean out well with included brush
- On the cut-off blade (move the lever up and down several times)
- Between the lever and plastic

After these steps, you will notice that the lever is less hard.

Cleaning Powermatic 3

When the machine does not produce cigarettes properly, tobacco residue may adhere to the injection rod, which is usually dissolved by performing the following operation.

- Open the chamber where you put the tobacco
- Press the start button as soon as the injection rod is out of the machine and press the start button. 
- The rod will remain locked outside the machine, just clean it well. 
- Don't forget to oil your machine lightly with WD40.

Powermatic 3 cigarette makers are incredibly complex machines, and as such require regular maintenance to keep them working efficiently. If you own one of these machines, it is important not to try to open the machine yourself. This could lead to irreparable damage and expensive repairs.

If you notice problems with your Powermatic 3 cigarette maker, it is best to find a professional who is experienced in servicing these types of machines. A professional can assess the situation and determine the best course of action for your machine. 

By seeking professional help for your Powermatic 3 cigarette maker, you can ensure that your machine works properly and continues to operate efficiently for many years to come.
