NRC2200 Toilet Paper Roll Making Manufacturing Machine

1. Semi-Automatic Production Line

This is the most popular choice for small to medium-scale startups and workshops. It involves a combination of automated and manual processes.

• How it Works: The line automatically produces long, continuous "logs" of toilet paper, which are then manually cut and packaged.

• Key Components:

  • Toilet Paper Rewinding Machine: The core unit.

  • Log Saw / Cutting Machine: A separate, stand-alone machine.

• Process Flow:
  Jumbo Roll → Rewinder (makes the log) → Manual Transfer → Log Saw (cuts into rolls) → Manual Packaging

• Pros:

  • Lower Initial Investment (Significantly cheaper than full-auto lines).

  • Operational Flexibility - Easy to change roll sizes and paper types.

  • Easier Maintenance - Simpler mechanics.

• Cons:

  • Higher Labor Costs (Requires 3-5 operators).

  • Lower Output (Typically 40-100 rolls per minute).

  • Inconsistent Packaging quality due to manual handling.

2. Fully Automatic Production Line

This is an integrated system for medium to large-scale factories aiming for high efficiency and minimal labor.

• How it Works: The entire process, from the jumbo roll to the individually wrapped and sealed roll, is automated.

• Key Components: All machines (rewinder, cutter, wrapper) are linked by conveyors.

• Process Flow:
  Jumbo Roll → Rewinder → Auto Log Saw → Core Insertion (if applicable) → Auto Wrapping Machine → Manual Cartoning

• Pros:

  • High Production Speed (90-180+ rolls per minute).

  • Low Labor Cost (Only 1-2 operators for monitoring).

  • Consistent, High-Quality Finish on every roll.

• Cons:

  • High Capital Cost.

  • Less Flexibility - Changing roll sizes requires more machine adjustment.

  • Complex Maintenance requires more skilled technicians.

The Core Components & Manufacturing Process (Step-by-Step)

Here’s a breakdown of what happens in a full automatic line:

1. Unwinding Stand:

   • Purpose: Holds the massive Jumbo Roll (the raw material, which can be 1-2 meters in width and diameter).

   • Function: It unwinds the paper at a controlled tension and may have an automatic splice to join a new jumbo roll without stopping the

     line.

2. Toilet Paper Rewinding Machine:

   • This is the heart of the operation. It performs several critical functions:

   • Embossing: Passes the paper through patterned steel rollers to create a texture (e.g., quilted, dotted). This improves softness, bulk, and

     aesthetics. For 2-ply, two sheets are embossed and laminated together.

   • Perforating: A sharp blade creates the micro-perforated tear lines.

   • Winding: Winds the embossed and perforated paper around a cardboard core (or winds it tightly for coreless rolls). It accurately counts

     the paper layers to ensure uniform roll length.

3. Automatic Log Saw:

   • Purpose: Cuts the long, continuous log coming from the rewinder into individual toilet roll sizes.

   • Function: Uses a high-speed rotary saw or band saw. The cutting length is precisely calibrated.

4. Toilet Paper Wrapping Machine:

   • Purpose: Individually wraps each roll for hygiene and branding.

   • Function: Feeds each roll into a packaging film (usually BOPP plastic or biodegradable cellophane), seals the ends, and can also apply a price sticker.

Raw Materials You Will Need

To run this business, you need a steady supply of:

• Jumbo Tissue Parent Rolls: These are the primary raw material. They come in different qualities:

  • Virgin Wood Pulp: Highest quality, softness, and whiteness.

  • Recycled Pulp: More eco-friendly, generally less soft and more abrasive.

  • Bamboo Pulp / Mixed Pulp: Growing in popularity for their sustainability.

  • Key Specification: GSM (Grams per Square Meter) - indicates thickness and quality (e.g., 12-20 GSM for toilet paper).

• Cardboard Cores: The inner tube of the roll. Standard sizes are 40mm, 45mm, or 76mm in length.

• Wrapping Film: The plastic or paper used for individual roll wrapping. BOPP plastic is most common, but eco-friendly options are available.

• Glue (for 2-ply): Food-grade adhesive to laminate the two plies together.
