Have you ever opened a pack of wet wipes and wondered how each sheet is perfectly folded, evenly soaked, and neatly packed within seconds? Behind this seemingly simple product stands a highly efficient and intelligent manufacturing system—the full automatic wet wipes production line, a core machine trusted by hygiene product manufacturers around the world.
🧻 What Is a Wet Wipes Production Line?
A wet wipes production line is an automated manufacturing system that converts large rolls of spunlace nonwoven fabric into finished wet wipes, completing every step from unwinding to final packaging. It dramatically improves production efficiency, ensures uniform moisture distribution, enhances packaging precision, and reduces labor cost.
This production line is widely used for producing:
- Baby wipes
- Personal care wipes
- Household cleaning wipes
- Industrial wipes
- Medical disinfecting wipes
⚙️ How a Wet Wipes Production Line Works (Step-by-Step Process)
The production of wet wipes is a combination of smart mechanical engineering and strict hygiene control. Below is the full workflow explained in simple terms:
1️⃣ Unwinding
Large jumbo rolls of spunlace nonwoven fabric are placed on the unwinding system, which automatically releases material at a constant tension to ensure smooth operation.
2️⃣ Folding
The fabric is guided through a folding mechanism (usually “N” or “Z” folding). This ensures wipes are evenly layered and easy to pull out from packaging.
3️⃣ Moisturizing / Liquid Adding
A precise liquid supply system sprays or injects the formulated solution (water + lotion ingredients such as aloe, glycerin, disinfectants).
💧 The system ensures even distribution, preventing over- or under-wetting.
4️⃣ Cutting
Sharp rotary blades cut the continuous fabric into individual pieces at high speed according to preset wipe sizes (e.g., 150mm x 200mm,180mm x 200mm,180mm x 150mm).
5️⃣ Counting & Stacking
The machine automatically counts each sheet (e.g., 10 pcs, 30 pcs, 80 pcs, 120 pcs) and stacks them neatly for packaging.
6️⃣ Pressing / Flattening
Flatten belt to make wipes to remove excess air, ensuring neat, compact pack sizes.
7️⃣ Labeling
Automatic label applicators attach brand labels or sealing labels accurately.
8️⃣ Punching
The pouch is punched to create the opening hole where the plastic lid will be installed.
9️⃣ Coding / Date Printing
Coding prints production date, batch number onto packaging.
🔟 Packaging
The wipes are inserted into pre-made bags or formed-and-sealed film bags using a packaging unit.
1️⃣1️⃣ Lid Pasting
A automatic plastic lid applicator is automatically positioned and glued onto the pack, completing the final step.
