Toilet Paper And Napkins Making Machine

Napkin (Serviette) Converting Line

This is the machine line you are most likely looking for. It's an automated production line that performs the following steps:

Key Components & Workflow:

1. Jumbo Roll Stand & Automatic Splicer: Holds 1-3 large rolls. The splicer automatically joins a new roll to the end of an expiring one without stopping the machine.

2. Embossing Unit: Two engraved steel rollers press the paper to create decorative patterns (e.g., linen, diamond, floral). This adds aesthetics, bulk, and improved softness.

3. Printing Unit (Optional): Uses flexographic printers to add colored borders, logos, or patterns.

4. Ply Bonding (for 2/3-ply napkins): Brings multiple layers together. A light adhesive (spot or pattern glue) is applied to bond the plies.

5. Folding & Cutting Section (The Heart):

   • Folding: A high-precision folding mechanism creates the final fold—typically a single-fold (half-fold) or a quarter-fold for dinner napkins. This is different from the multi-fold used in facial tissues.

   • Cutting: A rotary cross-cutter cuts the continuous web into the exact napkin size (e.g., 40cm x 40cm, 33cm x 33cm).

6. Counting & Stacking: An electronic counter groups the exact number of napkins per stack (e.g., 100, 200, 500 pcs).

7. Packaging:

   • Primary Packaging: Stacks are wrapped in polypropylene (PP) plastic film, often with a printed label.

   • Bundling & Cartoning (Optional): Multiple stacks are bundled and placed into cardboard boxes for sale.

Technical Specifications & Considerations

When sourcing a machine, you will define:

• Final Product Size: e.g., 40x40 cm, 33x33 cm.

• Napkin Ply: 1-ply, 2-ply, 3-ply.

• Raw Material: Jumbo roll width (e.g., 2700 mm) and paper GSM weight (e.g., 16-22 GSM).

• Speed: Ranges from 80 to 300+ stacks per minute, depending on automation and napkin layers.

• Folding Type: Single-fold, quarter-fold.

• Power Requirement: Typically three-phase, with significant electricity and compressed air needs.

• Floor Space: A full line can be 15-30 meters long.
