Production process and equipment connection
Three-Row Semi-Automatic Soft Pack Facial Tissue Production Line
This semi-automatic production line combines a three-row facial tissue folding machine with a side-press bag loading and sealing machine. The folding unit automatically forms counted V-fold tissue logs, while operators separate the tissue stacks, load them into plastic bags and complete heat sealing.
The configuration is intended for small and medium workshops that need a lower-investment soft tissue production process without automatic log cutting, conveyor transfer or high-speed wrapping equipment. It should be described as semi-automatic because product separation, bag fitting and sealing require direct operator involvement.
Production Process
Jumbo tissue rolls are mounted on the unwinding frame and manually threaded through the folding machine.
The paper is slit, air-suction folded and counted into V-fold tissue logs.
Operators manually separate the required tissue stack and inspect the folded product.
The tissue stack is placed in the side-press bagging trough and compressed using the manual valve.
A plastic bag is fitted over the compressed tissue, and the foot valve pushes the tissue into the bag.
The filled bag is positioned at the heating wire and sealed after the sealing temperature has been adjusted.

Practical Output and Safety
Although the folding machine can operate at approximately 80 m/min, the finished-pack output of the complete line is controlled by manual tissue separation and the 3-4 packs/min bagging rate. Actual output depends on sheets per pack, tissue thickness, bag dimensions, operator rhythm and seal-cooling time.
The sealing machine must be preheated and the temperature setting adjusted to the plastic bag thickness. Operators must keep hands away from the heating wire and prevent flammable materials from entering the sealing area.
Primary and secondary packing options
Equipment arrangement and workshop flow
Practical output, operator quantity, installed power and workshop space depend on the final equipment combination, finished-product dimensions, packing format and operating conditions. Confirm these values in the final technical proposal.
