Automatic C-Fold Hand Towel Production Line in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia Hand Towel Project: Dual-Lane C-Fold Line (2023)

In 2023, a tissue manufacturer in Saudi Arabia required a C-fold hand towel converting solution for folded paper hand towels used in offices, hotels, restaurants, shopping centers and public washrooms.

The project was configured around the DB-C-250 Automatic C-Fold Paper Hand Towel Folding Machine, arranged as a dual-lane line with folding, cutting, embossing and downstream packing.

Project Background and Requirements

The customer needed stable dual-lane production with accurate folding, cutting and embossing. The finished hand towel stacks also needed to connect smoothly with downstream handling and packing equipment.

The production line had to accommodate locally available parent rolls and allow convenient adjustment for different folded towel specifications.

Equipment Solution

The selected production arrangement included:

• Dual-lane C-fold hand towel output
• Output of 400–500 sheets/min per lane
• Vacuum-suction cutting system
• Adjustable pneumatic flying knife
• Steel-to-steel embossing
• Pneumatic jumbo-roll loading
• PLC and HMI touchscreen operation
• Automatic counting and product transfer
• Downstream cutting and transparent bundle packing

The machine supports a parent-roll width of 560–660 mm and a maximum roll diameter of 1400 mm. Final configuration depends on the finished towel format, parent-roll condition, target output and available floor space.

For readers comparing equipment for a similar project, the automatic hand towel production line with folding, cutting and packing shows how the folding and packing stages are connected, and the hand towel production solution outlines the wider line options.

Installation and Commissioning

The equipment layout was adjusted according to the customer’s parent-roll storage area, production direction and finished-product packing space.

Commissioning focused on paper tension, cutting length, folded dimensions, stack consistency and transfer to the packing section. Operators were trained in touchscreen settings, paper loading and regular maintenance.

Project Results

The completed production line provided stable dual-lane hand towel output and reduced manual handling between folding and packing.

The customer gained flexibility to produce different C-fold towel formats and embossing patterns while maintaining an orderly and continuous production flow.
