Interfold Facial Tissue Machine in South Africa

Interfold Facial Tissue Machine for South Africa in 2020

In 2020, a tissue products supplier in South Africa invested in an interfold facial tissue machine for commercial and consumer tissue production. The project was developed around a compact folded tissue format suitable for dispensing and retail packaging.

Project Background and Buyer Requirement

The customer required a configuration that matched its selected paper grade, finished-sheet specification, and planned production layout. Equipment planning also considered the handling of finished tissue before packing.

Because the machine was to be added to an existing converting operation rather than a greenfield plant, the selection process focused on how the interfolder would fit the available floor space, connect with the existing parent-roll supply, and pass folded tissue to the next handling or packing step without unnecessary manual transfer.

Project Delivery and Commissioning Focus

The project followed a practical sequence: requirement review, configuration confirmation, layout and utility checks, delivery, installation, and commissioning against the agreed finished-sheet specification. Commissioning checks concentrated on fold quality, sheet consistency, and stable transfer of the folded tissue to the downstream handling stage.

Operator access and maintenance access were also part of the planning, so the machine could be run and serviced within the customer's existing production routine.
