THE INDUSTRIAL FOUNDATION
Established functions.
New integration.
Feeding, cutting, winding, dispensing, seating and wiping already feature in other industrial lines. Our work is to adapt those principles to your product and connect the modules into one operation.
↗
The Paeiro line is new. The industrial functions behind the design have commercial precedents.

Read the manufacturer’s reference ↗Public manufacturer references reviewed on 12 November 2026. These illustrate functions and principles; they are not a list of contracted suppliers or proof that the Paeiro modules are ready. Geometry, materials, feeding, integration and performance require adaptation and validation.
05 / HOW ARAKA CONNECTS THE WORK
AI to develop.
Presence to execute.
AI-assisted analysis helps turn the observed process into mechanism alternatives and digital studies. Our presence in China connects that work to engineering, manufacturers and prototyping.

06 / A CLEAR PATH TO PRODUCTION
06 — 09First, prove the process.
Then build for production.
01
NOW
Define your reference
Samples, product, current production and quality criteria. The reference configuration uses an eight-hour day, five days a week, to be specified with the customer.
02
AROUND 12 MONTHS
Develop the working prototype
Customize and integrate the modules, test materials and demonstrate the process. Monthly reports follow results, expenses and upcoming milestones.
03
AFTER VALIDATION
Manufacture, install and commission
The full production system is manufactured after the prototype. Scale-up, transport, import and installation have their own schedule, agreed in the proposal.
Around 12 months to a working prototype. Full manufacture and installation follow. Conveyor outfeed is the proposed direction; its interface remains to be defined.
BEFORE FULL MANUFACTURE
Prove it with your product.
The prototype must validate the process. The production system must demonstrate the agreed capacity during acceptance testing.
What we propose to demonstrate +
01
Your product
Wrapper, filter, band, adhesive and blue cap. Finish and fit assessed using your samples.
02
A repeatable cycle
Repeat the operations and record cycle times, good units, rejects and interventions.
03
The path to scale
Use the results to define parallelization, feeding, transfers and the interface to the next station.
Proposed test areas. Samples, test duration, quality thresholds and scale-up conditions will be agreed together before development.
07 / THE ADVANTAGE OF STARTING TOGETHER
07 — 09One reference.
A firm price.
We use a 300-person production workload as our case study. For that capacity, we commit to €4.86 million for the founding customer and €6.86 million for later customers. Development is included in the price.

08 / OUR CONFIDENCE COMES WITH A COMMITMENT
We put our own
money behind it.
If, for any reason, you consider the developed result insufficient to proceed with the purchase, ARAKA shares the development expenses with you.
You initially fund the €860,000 programme. If the result is insufficient for you to buy, we return unused funds and reimburse half the actual expenses from ARAKA’s own funds.

09 / BEFORE WE START
The questions
that matter.
Does the machine exist yet?
The complete Paeiro line remains to be built and tested. The functions behind the design—feeding, cutting, forming, dispensing, seating, wiping and inspection—have commercial applications in other industries, documented in this page’s references. Prototyping adapts the mechanisms to Paeiro materials, integrates the modules and validates the result against agreed criteria.
What does 300-person capacity mean?
It is the reference workload of a 300-person tube-making team. The system is developed to replace that workload, retaining a small replenishment, supervision and maintenance crew. Product, quality, working schedule and baseline production will be agreed with your factory.
Is the €860,000 additional to the machine price?
It forms part of the founding customer’s €4.86 million total. With the full €860,000 credit, the balance is €4 million. The customer’s development contribution is fixed; ARAKA covers additional development costs.
What sits outside the supplied process?
Input is material prepared for sizing and forming. The proposed output is empty tubes conveyed to the customer’s next station. Tobacco filling and existing shakers remain with the customer; the connection, position and transfer rate will be defined together.
What if we need another capacity or format?
Different capacities, materials and formats require their own customization. We first agree the required product and output, then define the configuration, budget and schedule. The 300-person system’s prices and timelines do not automatically apply to other configurations.
