Wet Wipe Production Equipment and Machinery

Wet wipes are becoming an essential part of daily life, with growing demand in households, healthcare, and industries like food service. As the market expands, manufacturers face the challenge of boosting efficiency, ensuring quality, and controlling costs. The right production equipment can make all the difference.

The production of wet wipes involves several critical stages, each requiring specialized equipment to maintain efficiency and quality.

Master Roll Slitting

Purpose: Precisely slit wide nonwoven master rolls into narrower rolls suitable for further processing. This step lays the foundation for wet wipe production and directly impacts subsequent efficiency and quality.

Equipment Features: MTED’s master roll slitting machines handle rolls up to 240 inches wide, 60 inches in diameter, and 3,500 pounds in weight. They offer high-speed operation (300 fpm) and an automatic cross-cutting system, reducing changeover time and enhancing productivity.

Advantages: In-house roll slitting eliminates reliance on third-party processing, improving production control and cutting costs.

Consumer Roll Slitting and Perforating

Purpose: Further slit the master rolls into smaller consumer-sized wet wipe rolls, such as those used in tubs or pouches. Includes perforating, coreless rewinding, and automatic unloading features.

Equipment Features: Utilizes single-shaft or turret rewinders with production capacities of up to 60 rolls per minute. Optional unloading and conveying systems ensure seamless integration into the next production stage.

Advantages: MTED provides fully integrated consumer roll slitting and perforating equipment, reducing manual intervention and ensuring consistent, stable product quality.

Packaging and Wetting

Purpose: Load the slit wet wipe rolls into tubs or pouches, add the wetting solution, and seal the final product.

Equipment Features: MTED collaborates with leading suppliers of canister filling, liquid dispensing, and packaging equipment. Automated filling, wetting, and sealing systems handle various packaging formats (tubs, pouches, boxes) to meet diverse market demands.

Advantages: Equipment from MTED’s partners eliminates packaging bottlenecks, maintains production line efficiency, and enhances product market competitiveness.

Efficient wet wipe production starts with the right equipment. As technology evolves, MTED continues to innovate, paving the way for smarter, more sustainable production.
