7-Lane Automatic Soft Pack Facial Tissue Production Line

Connected Production from Jumbo Roll to Soft Pack

The 7-lane automatic soft pack facial tissue production line connects tissue folding, log cutting, product transfer and retail packaging into one coordinated process.

The production line is intended for factories with stable facial tissue specifications, repeat orders and a need to reduce manual transfer between the main processing stages.

The complete line should be selected around the finished tissue pack. A high folding speed alone does not represent the final output if cutting, transfer or packing cannot operate at a matching rate.

Finished Product Requirements

Before the line configuration is prepared, the customer should confirm:

• Unfolded tissue sheet dimensions

• Finished folded dimensions

• Number of plies

• Paper basis weight

• Number of sheets per pack

• Finished stack dimensions

• Soft-pack bag dimensions

• Film width and thickness

• Printed film registration requirement

• Target finished-pack output

A physical pack sample or complete dimensional drawing can help clarify the tissue and packaging requirements.

Production Process

• Jumbo tissue roll loading

• Paper web feeding and alignment

• Ply combination

• V-fold interfolding

• Sheet counting

• Tissue log formation

• Automatic tissue log cutting

• Finished-stack transfer

• Automatic soft-pack feeding

• Film forming and sealing

• Finished-pack discharge

• Optional bundle or carton packing

Equipment Composition

7-Lane V-Fold Facial Tissue Machine

The folding machine receives several tissue paper webs and produces continuously interfolded tissue logs. Paper feeding, vacuum response, folding overlap, sheet counting and stack formation must remain coordinated.

The number of lanes provides a basis for the working width and folding capacity, but final output also depends on the finished sheet, tissue quality, cutting and packing equipment.

Facial Tissue Log Saw

The log saw cuts the long folded tissue log into individual stacks. The accepted tissue log width, height and length must match the output of the folding machine.

Blade condition, tissue softness, stack density and cutting settings influence the finished cut. The transfer into and out of the cutting section should limit unnecessary stack deformation.

Stack Transfer System

The transfer system moves the cut tissue stacks toward the packing machine in the required direction and spacing.

Depending on the complete configuration, the transfer section may include conveyors, stack separation, positioning, buffer accumulation and packer-feeding devices.

Automatic Soft-Pack Tissue Packing Machine

The packing machine completes tissue-stack feeding, film tracking, bag formation, product insertion, sealing, cutting and finished-pack discharge.

The film specification should remain consistent. Film thickness, width, sealing properties and printed registration can affect continuous packing performance.

Line Capacity Balance

The practical output of the complete line is determined by the slowest connected process.

The configuration review should compare:

• Folding capacity

• Tissue log formation

• Log cutting capacity

• Stack-transfer capacity

• Retail packing capacity

• Film replacement time

• Product changeover time

• Secondary packing capacity

Short buffers can reduce the effect of brief interruptions, but they cannot correct a large capacity mismatch between machines.

Automation Details

Automatically Completed Operations

• Paper web feeding after initial threading

• V-fold interfolding

• Sheet counting

• Tissue log formation

• Automatic log cutting

• Finished-stack transfer

• Film feeding and bag formation

• Product insertion, sealing and cutting

• Finished-pack discharge

Operator-Assisted Operations

• Jumbo roll loading and initial paper threading

• Machine setup and product changeover

• Packing-film replacement

• Product sampling and quality inspection

• Fault handling and cleaning

• Routine maintenance

• Carton preparation and warehouse handling unless additional equipment is included

Fully automatic describes the connection of the principal converting, cutting and packing stages. The line still requires trained personnel.

Raw Material Requirements

Jumbo tissue rolls should be confirmed for width, diameter, number of plies, basis weight, tensile strength, softness, moisture and roll condition.

Material properties can influence:

• Paper web alignment

• Vacuum folding stability

• Folding overlap

• Finished stack shape

• Cutting quality

• Packing performance

Representative production material should be used during factory testing whenever practical.

Packaging Options

The primary output is soft-pack facial tissue. The pack can use plain or printed film according to the customer’s retail requirements.

Optional downstream packing can include:

• Multi-pack bundle packing

• Outer bag packing

• Case packing

• Carton sealing

• Finished-pack conveying

Secondary packing should be selected from the actual wholesale and distribution method rather than added without a confirmed pack arrangement.

Workshop and Utilities

The connected line requires sufficient length for equipment interfaces, product-transfer sections and maintenance access.

The factory should prepare:

• Jumbo roll storage and handling space

• Electrical power

• Compressed air

• Vacuum system

• Packing-film storage

• Finished-pack collection

• Secondary packing space

• Maintenance and cleaning access

The layout should be confirmed using actual workshop dimensions, doors, columns, utility positions and material-flow direction.

Information Required for Final Configuration

• Jumbo roll width and diameter

• Paper basis weight and number of plies

• Unfolded and folded sheet dimensions

• Sheets per pack

• Finished pack dimensions

• Film specification

• Target output

• Secondary packing requirement

• Workshop dimensions

• Electrical and compressed-air conditions

These details allow the folding, cutting, transfer and packing equipment to be reviewed as one production system.
