DB-R500 Kitchen Towel Rewinding Project in the USA

Project Year: 2023
Location: USA
Application: Kitchen Towel Product Range Expansion
Equipment: DB-R500 Kitchen Towel Non-Stop Rewinder Line

Project Background

In 2023, a tissue products manufacturer in the USA planned to add kitchen towel rolls to its existing product range.

The customer needed to translate its proposed finished-product requirements into a suitable rewinding configuration. Material suitability and sample evaluation were important parts of the project, since the appearance and handling of the finished roll needed to match the intended product.

The project centered on establishing a defined production setup for the new kitchen towel range.

Customer Requirements

The customer's main requirements included:

• A non-stop rewinding line for kitchen towel production.
• Equipment selection based on the intended product specifications.
• Trial production with representative tissue material.
• Consistent roll formation and acceptable unwinding behavior.
• A clear process for reviewing and approving samples.
• Operating references for subsequent production runs.

Proposed Solution

We proposed the DB-R500 Kitchen Towel Non-Stop Rewinder Line for the planned kitchen towel application. The machine is part of the broader kitchen towel production solution range, which covers rewinding and downstream handling options for this product family.

The preparation process began with the customer's target product characteristics and parent-roll information. These details provided the basis for reviewing equipment suitability and defining the material to be used during trials.

The project emphasized sample approval before establishing the initial production setup. Trial logs and finished samples were reviewed together so that the customer could assess both winding quality and the presentation of the intended product.

Where a product requirement depended on additional converting equipment or a particular configuration, it was treated as a separate item for confirmation.

Installation & Commissioning

Commissioning focused on running the agreed tissue material and establishing a suitable rewinding setup.

Sample checks covered log shape, winding firmness, and dimensions. Finished-roll samples prepared from the trial logs were also reviewed for handling and unwinding behavior.

The team recorded the approved setup alongside the relevant material and product specifications. This gave operators a reference when preparing later runs of the same product.

Guidance also covered the need to reassess settings when the raw material or finished-product requirements changed.

Project Results

A Defined Setup for the New Product
The project established an initial rewinding configuration for the customer's planned kitchen towel range.

Sample-Based Product Approval
The customer evaluated representative samples before using them as production references.

Documented Operating Conditions
Recording the material, product specification, and approved setup helped make subsequent production preparation more consistent.

Project Summary

The 2023 USA project focused on introducing a kitchen towel product range using the DB-R500 Non-Stop Rewinder Line.

The approach linked equipment selection with material trials and sample approval, providing a practical basis for the customer's product launch preparations.
