V-Fold Hand Towel Paper Machine in Turkey

V-Fold Hand Towel Paper Machine Project for a Tissue Converter in Turkey

In 2019, a tissue converter in Turkey added a V-fold hand towel paper machine to develop its commercial hygiene product range. The project focused on producing folded hand towels for office buildings, restaurants, and public washroom applications.

Project Background and Buyer Requirement

The converter already ran conventional consumer tissue production and wanted a dedicated route for commercial hand towel products. The new line had to match three fixed conditions: the existing parent-roll specification, the required finished-sheet format, and the available workshop layout.

Because the target market was away-from-home hygiene rather than retail consumer tissue, the buyer needed a machine that could hold a stable folding process and discharge finished towels in an orderly, easy-to-handle form.

Why This Configuration Was Selected

The selection was driven by the conversion flow rather than by a single headline figure. The machine had to accept the converter's parent-roll condition, fold the web into the required V-fold hand towel format, and deliver the finished product in a state that downstream handling and packing could accept.

Matching the machine to the existing workshop layout also mattered, because the new line had to sit alongside current tissue production without disrupting the established material flow.

Project Outcome and Buyer Takeaway

By adding a dedicated V-fold hand towel machine, the customer created a clearer production route for commercial towel products and expanded its tissue product portfolio beyond conventional consumer tissue items.

For converters considering a similar step, the practical lesson is to confirm the parent-roll specification, finished-sheet format, and floor space before finalizing the machine configuration. These three inputs shape the folding setup, discharge arrangement, and how smoothly the new line integrates with existing production.
