Fully Automatic Wet Wipes Packaging Machine

Product Overview

This fully automatic machine is designed to convert nonwoven rolls into 5-30-piece wet wipe packs in a continuous production line. It combines nonwoven feeding, folding, moistening, cutting, counting, stacking, product transfer and flexible-film packaging, reducing the need for manual handling between wipe converting and final packing.

A double-head folding section processes two nonwoven webs and transfers the prepared wipes to the packaging section. Servo and variable-frequency control coordinate the folding and packaging movements, while photoelectric color-mark tracking supports accurate positioning of printed packaging film. The touch-screen interface allows operators to adjust operating settings and view fault information.

The center-sealing section forms the longitudinal seal, while a sponge air-exhaust structure helps remove trapped air before final sealing and cutting. This improves finished-pack flatness and reduces packaging wrinkles.

The machine is intended for manufacturers producing travel-size and small-count wet wipe packs for personal care, baby care, household cleaning, pet care and hospitality markets. Final suitability should be confirmed using the customer’s nonwoven material, liquid formula, sheet dimensions, pack quantity and packaging film.

Applications

This machine is suitable for producing small-count wet wipe packs made from foldable nonwoven material. It is intended for water-based or compatible liquid formulations and flexible heat-sealable packaging films. Final suitability depends on nonwoven thickness, absorbency, liquid dosage, finished sheet dimensions and the chemical compatibility of all product-contact components.

This machine is suitable for:

• Baby wet wipes
• Facial cleansing wipes
• Makeup remover wipes
• Personal hygiene wipes
• Water-based hand cleaning wipes
• Household surface cleaning wipes
• Kitchen cleaning wipes
• Travel-size multipurpose wipes
• Pet cleaning wipes
• Shoe cleaning wipes
• Hotel and restaurant refreshment wipes
• Screen and equipment cleaning wipes
• Nonwoven personal care wipe packs
• Small-count sanitary cleaning wipe packs

A material test is recommended for thick nonwoven fabrics, highly absorbent materials, concentrated cleaning liquids, high-alcohol formulations or liquids that may affect machine components and packaging seals. Special chemical or flammable formulations require separate safety and material compatibility confirmation.

Main Features

1. Integrated Converting and Packaging

The machine automatically completes nonwoven feeding, folding, moistening, cutting, counting, stacking, product transfer, film sealing and finished-pack cutting in one continuous line.

2. Double-Head Folding Structure

Two folding units process nonwoven material and feed prepared wipes into the common transfer and packaging system, supporting continuous multi-piece wet wipe production.

3. Adjustable Pack Quantity

The documented configuration supports finished packs containing 5-30 wipes, allowing production settings to be selected according to the required retail pack format.

4. Servo and Variable-Frequency Control

Servo motors and variable-frequency control coordinate the folding, feeding and packaging movements to improve positioning consistency and simplify operating adjustments.

5. Printed Film Color-Mark Tracking

The photoelectric tracking system detects registration marks on printed packaging film and coordinates bag-length control with the sealing and cutting process.

6. Touch-Screen Operation

The touch-screen control panel provides centralized operating settings, production adjustments and fault information, helping operators identify machine conditions more efficiently.

7. Center-Seal Packaging

The packaging section forms a longitudinal center seal before completing the transverse sealing and cutting operations required to produce individual finished packs.

8. Sponge Air-Exhaust Structure

A sponge exhaust mechanism helps remove trapped air from the package before final sealing, reducing wrinkles and improving the flatness of the finished wet wipe packs.

9. Cam-Driven Cutting Mechanism

The documented high-speed cam structure performs folding and cutting movements with a stable mechanical cycle suitable for continuous nonwoven processing.

10. Stainless-Steel Machine Structure

The machine documentation specifies a 304 stainless-steel structure for corrosion resistance and easier cleaning in wet wipe converting and packaging environments.

Production-date printing and package label punching can be included according to the selected machine configuration.

Working Principle

Two nonwoven rolls are installed on the double-head feeding section. The nonwoven webs are drawn into the folding units, folded to the required format, moistened with the selected liquid and cut by the cam-driven mechanism.

The prepared wipes are counted and stacked according to the selected pack quantity within the documented 5-30-piece range. Each stack is transferred along the conveyor to the packaging section.

Packaging film is unwound and guided through the photoelectric color-mark tracking system. The wipe stack enters the film, and the longitudinal center seal is formed. A sponge exhaust device then removes trapped air to improve package flatness. The transverse sealing and cutting section separates the continuous film into individual finished packs.

Where included in the selected configuration, label punching and production-date printing are completed before the finished products are discharged.

Process Flow:
Nonwoven Unwinding → Folding → Moistening → Cutting → Counting and Stacking → Product Transfer → Film Feeding → Center Sealing → Air Exhaust → End Sealing and Cutting → Discharge

Machine Details

1. Double-Head Nonwoven Feeding Units

Two independent feeding and folding stations unwind the nonwoven rolls and guide the material into the converting section for folding, moistening and cutting.

2. Nonwoven Folding System

The folding assemblies shape the continuous nonwoven webs into the required folded wipe format before the material enters the cutting and stacking stages.

3. Moistening System

The moistening section applies the selected liquid formulation to the folded nonwoven material. The liquid type and dosage should be confirmed through product testing.

4. Cam Cutting Unit

The cam-driven mechanism cuts the folded and moistened nonwoven material into individual wipe sheets according to the selected production settings.

5. Counting and Stacking System

The processed wipes are counted and arranged into multi-piece stacks before being transferred to the packaging section.

6. Product Transfer Conveyor

The transfer system carries the prepared wipe stacks from the converting section to the film packaging section while maintaining the required product orientation.

7. Film Unwinding and Tracking System

The film system unwinds the packaging material and uses photoelectric color-mark detection to coordinate printed-film positioning, bag length, sealing and cutting.

8. Center-Sealing Unit

The longitudinal sealing mechanism forms the center seal of the package as the packaging film wraps around the stacked wet wipes.

9. Sponge Exhaust and End-Sealing Unit

The sponge structure removes excess trapped air before the transverse sealing and cutting mechanism completes each individual wet wipe pack.

10. Touch-Screen Control System

The control panel provides operating adjustments, parameter settings and fault display functions. Label punching and date printing are configuration-dependent auxiliary functions.

Technical Parameters

Packaging & Shipping

Before shipment, the selected machine configuration should undergo a functional test using the agreed nonwoven material, packaging film and production settings. Exposed machine sections should then be cleaned, protected and mechanically secured to reduce movement during transportation.

The uploaded quotation includes domestic delivery, installation, commissioning and operator training for the quoted project. However, it does not specify the export packing dimensions, gross shipping weight or final overseas packing method.

The final packing method, shipping dimensions and gross weight will therefore be confirmed according to the selected machine configuration, destination and transportation route. An export-standard wooden case can be arranged when required, but this must be confirmed before order placement.

The buyer should confirm site access, electrical supply, nonwoven specifications, liquid formulation and packaging film before dispatch. Local import clearance, duties and destination charges require separate agreement.
