Production Process Flow for Wet Wipe Equipment

Author:

Wet wipes are moist paper towels designed for wiping the skin. On the market, they can generally be categorized into two types. One type is pre-disinfected but cannot disinfect other items—it contains skincare ingredients that help keep the skin hydrated and well-maintained. The other type is a disinfecting wet wipe, which not only disinfects itself but also effectively sterilizes other objects, making it ideal for cleaning and disinfecting minor skin injuries like scrapes or cuts. In recent years, the wet wipe market has grown rapidly, with wet wipe consumption increasing steadily year after year. However, traditional wet wipe production lines often rely on bulky equipment, requiring significant upfront investment in space and infrastructure. Moreover, since wet wipe manufacturing typically demands cleanroom environments, if the equipment occupies too much floor space, the overall cost of setting up the production line becomes even higher.

Wet wipes are moist paper towels designed for wiping the skin. Generally speaking, there are two main types available on the market. One type is pre-disinfected but cannot be used to sanitize other items. These wipes contain skincare ingredients and are intended solely for moisturizing and maintaining the skin. The other type—disinfecting wet wipes—not only disinfect themselves but also effectively sterilize other surfaces, making them ideal for cleaning and disinfecting minor skin injuries like cuts or scrapes. In recent years, the wet wipe market has experienced rapid growth, with annual usage steadily increasing. However, traditional wet wipe production lines often rely on bulky equipment that demands significant floor space and substantial upfront investment. Moreover, since wet wipe manufacturing typically requires cleanroom environments, if the equipment takes up too much area, the overall cost of setting up the facility can skyrocket—posing a major challenge for smaller wet wipe manufacturers looking to enter the market. Currently, there’s a notable gap in the industry: no compact, easily deployable wet wipe production lines specifically tailored for small-scale manufacturers. As a result, how to swiftly set up a wet wipe production line, get it up and running quickly, and minimize the footprint of the necessary equipment while cutting down on on-site costs have become critical technical issues that urgently need addressing. So, let’s dive into the detailed production process of wet wipe equipment right now!

Key technical elements for wet wipe equipment:

The purpose of the wet wipe equipment is to address at least one of the technical challenges present in existing or related technologies, and it discloses a wet wipe production line that features a small footprint, low cost, and ease of flexible integration, enabling rapid deployment into production.

The wet wipe equipment provides a complete wet wipe production line, featuring fabric-feeding equipment, folding and cutting machinery, conveyor belts, a shower system, and packaging equipment. The fabric-feeding unit and the folding/cutting device are positioned at the entrance of the facility, arranged in a "U"-shaped layout alongside the shower system and packaging equipment. All components are interconnected via conveyor belts. Specifically, the fabric-feeding equipment receives non-woven fabric rolls and feeds the material forward; after being folded and cut, the non-woven fabric is conveyed by a belt to the spray system, where it’s thoroughly soaked with the medicated solution. Finally, the treated fabric is transported by another belt to the packaging equipment for final wrapping and sealing. In more detail, the spray system consists of: a column-frame body securely mounted on a base; an external spiral-shaped structure attached to the column-frame body, configured to rise in a helical pattern; a chain-plate assembly fixed to the outer surface of the column-frame body, aligned precisely with the spray direction; and the internal components of the column-frame body itself.

According to the wet wipe production line disclosed in this invention, the preferred setup includes three nozzles, each corresponding to one of the three liquid tanks. Specifically, the nozzles spray the active ingredient liquid, fragrance liquid, and disinfectant solution onto the wet wipes—starting from the bottom and moving upward.

The beneficial effects of the wet wipe equipment include, at the very least, that this production line places no special demands on the conveyor belt, folding and cutting equipment, feeding systems, or packaging machinery, making it easy to purchase outright without requiring any specialized modifications. Additionally, the spray system features a spiral-type feeding mechanism that simultaneously enables multi-stage spraying while reducing the overall length of the production line—and crucially, allows for flexible adjustments in the liquid formulation, facilitating the efficient production of various types of wet wipes.

The wet wipe equipment provides a wet wipe production line, focusing on the field of cleaning wipe manufacturing. It includes wet wipe machinery, a folding and cutting unit, conveyor belts, a showering system, and packaging equipment. The feeding device and the folding/cutting equipment are positioned at the facility entrance, while the showering system and packaging equipment are arranged in a "U"-shaped configuration. All components are interconnected via conveyors. Specifically, the showering system comprises: a column-frame body securely mounted on a base; an external spiral-shaped structure attached to the column-frame body, designed for upward movement; a chain-plate assembly fixed to the outer surface of the column-frame body, aligned precisely with the spray direction; and the internal components of the column-frame body itself. This production line features a compact footprint, requires minimal capital investment, is easy to integrate flexibly, and can be quickly ramped up for mass production.
