Automatic Napkin Facial Paper Making Machine

Napkin Facial Paper Making Machine is a sophisticated piece of industrial automation that transforms a simple paper

web into one of the most ubiquitous consumer hygiene products through a highly coordinated series of mechanical,

electrical, and pneumatic operations.

Main Production Stages & Corresponding Machine Sections

A full line is a combination of several machines in sequence. Here’s the typical workflow:

1. Unwinding Section (For Tissue Paper Making from Jumbo Rolls)

• Function: Holds 1-2 large jumbo rolls of crepe tissue paper (often recycled or virgin pulp). An automatic splicer ensures continuous feeding by seamlessly joining a new roll when the old one runs out.

• Alternative: Some lines start with a Tissue Paper Making Machine that converts pulp into base tissue paper, which is then directly fed into the converting line. This is a much larger and more capital-intensive setup.

2. Printing & Embossing Unit (Optional but Common)

• Printing: Rotary flexographic printers apply colored patterns, borders, or brand logos.

• Embossing: Passes the paper between engraved steel rollers to create patterns (like dots or flowers). This serves two purposes: Aesthetic appeal and Improved softness/bulk.

3. Ply Bonding & Folding Section (The Heart of the Machine)

• Ply Bonding: For 2-ply or 3-ply napkins, multiple layers of tissue are brought together. They are lightly glued at the edges or using a patterned glue application.

• Folding: The most critical step. A high-precision folding cylinder or plow folder creates the signature "C-fold," "V-fold," "interfold," or "pop-up" configuration. For interfold, a mechanical or vacuum-assisted system interlinks each tissue with the next for easy one-handed dispensing.

4. Cutting & Counting

• A rotary cross-cutter cuts the continuous web into individual napkins of precise dimensions (e.g., 210mm x 210mm).

• An electronic counter groups the exact number of tissues per pack (e.g., 50, 100, 200 sheets).

5. Stacking & Transfer

• The counted stacks are neatly collated and transferred to the packaging section, often via a conveyor belt or robotic arm.

6. Packaging Section

• Primary Wrapping: The stack is wrapped in polypropylene (PP) plastic film or printed film. This is done by a high-speed horizontal flow wrapper.

• Shrink Wrapping (Optional): Multiple individual packs are grouped (e.g., 6 or 12 packs) and wrapped in a shrink film bundle.

• Cartoning (Optional): Bundles are then automatically inserted into cardboard cartons for shipping.

7. Control & Drive System

• The entire line is synchronized by a central PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and inverter drives for smooth, adjustable speed

  operation.

Key Machine Types & Specifications

When sourcing, you specify based on:

• Final Product: Facial napkins, pocket tissues, boxed tissues, kitchen roll.

• Folding Type: C-fold, V-fold, Interfold, Singlefold.

• Ply: 1-ply, 2-ply, 3-ply.

• Raw Material: Jumbo roll width (e.g., 2800mm) and paper grade.

• Speed & Output: Ranges from 80-150 packs per minute (PPM) for standard lines to 300+ PPM for high-speed lines.

• Automation Level: Fully automatic (from roll to carton) vs. semi-automatic (manual feeding or packing).

• Napkin Size: Customizable cutting size (e.g., 190x190mm to 230x230mm).
