What is a Canister Wet Wipes Machine?
A canister wet wipes machine is an automated system for converting, folding, cutting, saturating, and packaging wet wipes into plastic canisters or buckets.
What types of wet wipes can be produced with this machine?
These machines may make disinfectant wipes, baby wipes, personal care wipes, industrial cleaning wipes, and alcohol-based wipes.
What is the typical production capacity?
The manufacturing pace varies per model, but it typically runs from 80 to 200 canisters each minute.
What materials are compatible with the machine?
It is compatible with nonwoven textiles, including spunlace, spunbond, airlaid, and other wet-strength materials.
What is the machine’s working process?
The process includes:
- Unwinding & Folding: Rolls of nonwoven fabric are unwound, slit, and folded.
- Cutting & Stacking: The material is cut to length and stacked.
- Saturation: The wipes are saturated with the wetting solution.
- Insertion & Sealing: Wipes are inserted into canisters and sealed with a plastic lid.
- Labeling & Coding: Optional steps include applying labels, date coding, and shrink-wrapping.
What are the key components of a canister wet wipes machine?
- Jumbo roll unwinder
- Slitting & folding unit
- Cutting system
- Liquid dosing & saturation unit
- Canister loading system
- Lid application & sealing unit
- Labeling & coding system
Can the machine handle different canister sizes?
Yes, most machines can accept a variety of canister sizes and heights.
What types of solutions can be used for saturation?
The machine can process water-based, alcohol-based, and disinfection solutions. However, alcohol-based treatments need explosion-proof safety precautions.
How is the cutting precision ensured?
The machine’s cutting mechanisms are servo-driven, ensuring precision and consistent wipe length.
What kind of power supply is needed?
Most machines run on 380V, 50/60Hz, three-phase electricity, although bespoke configurations are possible.
How do I maintain the machine?
Regular maintenance involves
- Cleaning and lubricating moving components.
- Checking and replacing worn-out blades.
- Inspecting sensors and electrical components.
- Keeping liquid dosing systems clean
What common issues might occur, and how can they be fixed?
- Irregular wipe length: Inspect and modify the cutting system.
- Inconsistent liquid saturation: Check that the dosing mechanism is correctly calibrated.
- If the canisters are not sealing correctly, inspect the lid application unit.
Is operator training required?
Yes, operators should get training in equipment operation, troubleshooting, and basic maintenance.
Can the machine be customized?
Yes, modifications include variable wipe sizes, canister designs, labeling choices, and liquid compositions.
What certifications are required for compliance?
Machines should meet CE, ISO, and GMP requirements. When using disinfection wipes, FDA and EPA requirements may apply.
What is the lead time for delivery?
Delivery time ranges from 8 to 16 weeks, depending on customization and order volume.
What warranty and support are provided?
Wet wipes manufacturers often include a one to two-year guarantee, as well as technical assistance and replacement parts.
How much does a canister wet wipes machine cost?
Prices vary from $50,000 to $300,000, depending on automation degree and manufacturing pace.
