Beginner’s Guide to Wet Wipes Machines

A wet wipes machine is a professional equipment used to produce, fold, humidify, cut and package wet wipes, its automation level determines the production efficiency and product quality. Whether you are a small entrepreneur or a large manufacturer, choosing the right wipes machine will have a direct impact on production costs and market competitiveness.

The workflow of a wipes machine usually includes several major steps including material conveying, folding, liquid addition, cutting, and packaging. Firstly, non-woven fabrics, as the main raw material for wet wipes, enter the machine through an automatic feeding system and are folded into the right size in a preset manner under the action of a folding device. Next, a liquid spraying system evenly sprays an appropriate amount of water or functional solution (e.g. disinfectant, skincare ingredients) onto the wipes to ensure their wetness and use. Subsequently, the wet wipes are precisely cut into single or multi-piece products and enter the packaging stage, where heat sealing or ultrasonic sealing technology is used to seal the package to ensure good sealing of the product and prevent liquid evaporation and contamination.

Wet wipes machine is mainly divided into two types: single-piece wet wipes machine and multi-piece wet wipes machine. Single-piece wet wipes machine is designed for producing individually packaged wet wipes, suitable for hotel, catering, traveling, and medical disinfection scenarios, which is popular in the market due to its portability. Multi-Piece Wet Towel Machines, on the other hand, are used to produce large packages of wet wipes, such as family packs of baby wipes, wet toilet paper, etc., to meet the needs of daily high-volume use. Different types of wet wipe machines are suitable for different market positioning, enterprises need to choose equipment based on the target market demand, production scale, and automation requirements for comprehensive consideration.

When choosing the right wet wipes machine, enterprises need to focus on productivity, equipment stability, automation, and maintenance costs. An efficient wipes machine not only boosts production, but also reduces manual operations, improves production consistency, and reduces the rate of defective products. In addition, the material and cleaning design of the wipes machine is also important, especially for companies producing medical disinfectant wipes or baby wipes, it is important to ensure that the equipment meets hygiene standards, is easy to clean, and prevents cross-contamination. With the development of intelligent manufacturing, more and more wet wipe machines are equipped with intelligent control systems that support remote monitoring and automatic adjustment of parameters to improve production flexibility and management efficiency.
