Groove Core™ filter

Not only does Groove Core™ look strikingly different with its distinctive visual grooves but by incorporating a pocket of carbon and a grooved paper inner wrap, it provides enhanced filtration performance for your brand.

Filter construction

A mono-acetate filter that incorporates a ‘pocket’ of carbon and a grooved inner wrap, which both provide enhanced filtration performance. The pocket is placed towards the tobacco end of the filter while the paper inner wrap flute is near the mouth end.

The circumference range is 23.3mm–25.4mm. The recommended tip length is 27mm to 32mm with a carbon loading of between 20mg and 40mg. Plugwrap at a minimum 30gsm can be used on the machine without affecting performance while the pressure drop can be varied to suit taste and filtration requirements.
