Hand Towel Folding Machine in Chile

Hand Towel Folding Upgrade for a Tissue Converter in Chile

In 2024, a tissue converter in Chile added a high-speed hand towel folding machine to expand its commercial hygiene paper range. The customer planned to produce folded hand towels for offices, restaurants, healthcare facilities, and local distributors.

Production Requirement

The factory needed one machine that could handle its commonly used tissue grades while keeping the folded size and stack presentation consistent. The available workshop layout also required a clear material path and an organized discharge area that would not interfere with daily operator movement.

Because the line was intended for several commercial channels, the folded towel format and stack presentation had to stay repeatable across production runs, not only during the first trial.

Equipment Setup

The DB-N-225 hand towel folding machine was configured around the customer's parent-roll width, finished towel format, paper grade, and collection method. During trial production, the team checked web alignment, tension, cutting position, folding stability, and transfer through the collection conveyor.

Because lighter and heavier tissue papers behave differently, separate operating settings were recorded for each regular material. This made later product changeovers more predictable and reduced repeated adjustment by operators.

Commissioning Checks

Commissioning focused on the conversion flow from parent-roll feeding through folding and cutting to folded towel collection. Each checkpoint was verified against the customer's finished towel format before regular production began.

• Web alignment and tension across the parent-roll width
• Cutting position and folding stability at the finished towel size
• Transfer through the collection conveyor and discharge area
• Recorded settings for each regular paper grade

Project Result

After commissioning, the customer established a more stable process from parent-roll feeding to folded towel collection. The machine gave the factory additional capacity for commercial hand towels, while the recorded settings helped maintain more consistent output when changing between its regular paper grades.

For a similar project, confirm the parent-roll specification, paper weight and ply, finished towel size, required output, discharge direction, available floor space, and downstream packing method before finalizing the machine configuration.
