DB-HK-130P Single-Channel Pocket Tissue Machine

An economical single-channel pocket tissue production line that integrates controlled unwinding, tissue folding and automatic packing for super mini, mini and standard pocket tissue packs. It is built for converters who want a compact, single-lane line with PLC touchscreen control and automatic web correction, and who need to switch between several pocket pack formats on the same machine.

What This Single-Channel Line Produces

The DB-HK-130P runs one lane of pocket tissue from jumbo roll to packed finished pack. It handles super mini, mini and standard pocket tissue formats, so one machine can cover a mixed retail range instead of a single fixed pack size. Because the line combines folding and packing in one flow, the finished pack leaves the machine ready for cartoning or bundling downstream.

Confirmed machine parameters — rated output, jumbo roll width, unfolded and folded tissue sizes, sheets per pack, rated power, dimensions and weight — are listed in the Technical Specifications field. Final configuration depends on your finished pack format, parent roll specification, target output and available floor space, so treat those values as the basis for a quotation discussion rather than a fixed order.

Configuration Choices Buyers Should Settle First

Before requesting a quotation, it helps to fix a few decisions, because they drive the folding section, the packing section and the electrical layout:

• Pack format and sheet count. Super mini, mini and standard packs use different folded sizes and sheet counts, so the pack format you sell most should be defined first.
• Parent roll specification. Jumbo roll width and paper grade determine how the web is fed and tensioned through the line.
• Target output. Required packs per minute and daily running hours decide whether a single-channel line is the right capacity step or whether a dual-channel machine is more suitable.
• Automation level. PLC touchscreen control and automatic web correction are part of the standard control concept; additional automation should be agreed against your operator plan.
• Factory conditions. Layout length, local voltage, compressed air supply and packing integration all affect the final configuration.

Control, Automation And Operator Value

The line uses PLC touchscreen control with automatic web correction. In practice this means the operator sets and monitors the run from a screen instead of adjusting mechanical positions by hand, and the web is kept aligned automatically during production. For a single-channel line running several pack formats, that combination reduces the amount of manual intervention between format changes and makes the machine easier to hand over to a new operator.

Automatic web correction also matters for waste control: a drifting web on a narrow single-lane machine quickly turns into misaligned folds and rejected packs, so keeping the web tracked is one of the main levers on material yield.

Practical Operating Experience

Points that typically decide whether a pocket tissue line runs smoothly after commissioning:

• Commissioning checks. Confirm fold alignment and pack formation on the actual parent roll you will run, not only on the trial paper, before signing off output targets.
• Material compatibility. Paper grade and GSM affect folding behaviour and dust generation; agree the paper specification with the machine setup.
• Web tension and tracking. Verify automatic web correction is holding alignment across the full jumbo roll, from full roll to core, since tension changes as the roll unwinds.
• Maintenance access. Plan clear access around the folding and packing sections for cleaning, blade and roller checks, and routine lubrication.
• Quality control points. Check folded size, sheet count per pack and pack sealing at defined intervals rather than only at the end of a shift.
• Spare-part planning. Keep consumable and wear parts for the folding and cutting area on site to avoid long stops.
• Operator training. Train operators on format changeover and on reading the touchscreen alarms, as most short stops come from changeover and web handling rather than from the drive system.

Where A Single-Channel Pocket Tissue Line Fits

This machine suits converters entering pocket tissue production, or established producers adding a compact line for smaller pack formats and mixed retail ranges. It is an economical single-channel solution: if your volume plan clearly exceeds what one lane can deliver, a dual-channel machine is the more sensible capacity step, and the choice should be made on target output rather than on floor space alone.

Information Needed For A Quotation

To prepare an accurate quotation and configuration proposal, please provide: finished pack format and folded size, sheets per pack, parent roll width and paper grade, target packs per minute and daily running hours, available floor space, local voltage and compressed air supply, and your downstream packing or cartoning method. If any of these are not yet fixed, tell us which ones are open and we can discuss the options.
