‍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.

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

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

3.1 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.

3.2 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.

3.3 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.

3.4 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.

4. 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.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the minimum space needed to install a small toilet paper production line?

A compact line can operate within a 10 m × 5 m (50 m² / 500 ft²) workshop. Plan additional area for raw jumbo roll storage and finished product storage to keep production flowing smoothly.

Q2: How many toilet paper rolls can a small line produce?

A typical small line produces 50–120 rolls per minute, which translates to approximately 2,000–5,000 rolls per 8-hour shift, depending on roll size and line speed.

Q3: Do I need special electrical power?

Yes. Most small lines require a 3-phase electrical connection at 380 V. Check your workshop's power supply and capacity before installation.

Q4: What paper width can the line handle?

The line handles standard jumbo roll widths of approximately 1.6 m to 2.2 m, matching common parent rolls used across the tissue industry.

Q5: Can I produce different roll diameters and ply?

Yes. Roll diameter is adjustable (commonly 110 mm, 125 mm) and the line can produce 1, 2, or 3-ply paper, letting you serve different price points and customer segments.

Q6: Do I need a core making machine?

It is optional. For the very smallest startup, buying pre-made cardboard cores is simpler and lowers initial investment. A core making machine becomes worthwhile as volume grows.

Q7: What machines make up a complete small line?

A complete line includes a rewinding machine, a log saw/cutting machine, and an embosser & perforator unit. A core making machine is optional and often added as production scales.

Q8: Can I start small and expand later?

Yes. A mini-line is designed to scale — you can begin with a 2-lane rewinder and upgrade to additional lanes or a fully automatic line as demand grows, protecting your initial investment.
