From Jumbo Rolls to Daily Comfort: The World of Napkin, Tissue, and Pop-Up Tissue Making Machines in Nepal
Napkins, facial tissues, and pop-up tissues are ubiquitous in our daily lives, from homes and restaurants to offices and public spaces. The demand for these hygienic paper products is consistently high, making their manufacturing a significant industry. For entrepreneurs and businesses in Nepal looking to enter this market, understanding the machinery, processes, and raw materials is crucial.
Bhagwati Machinery Suppliers Pvt Ltd in Butwal is a key player in providing the necessary machinery for producing these essential paper products in Nepal.
Understanding the Machines and Making Process
The production of napkins, tissue paper, and pop-up tissues primarily involves converting large “jumbo rolls” of tissue paper into smaller, folded, and often embossed or printed finished products.
Key Machines Involved:
While a complete paper mill produces the base tissue paper, the machines supplied by companies like Bhagwati Machinery focus on the converting process. These include:
Napkin Making Machine:
Function: Automatically folds jumbo rolls of tissue paper into square or rectangular paper napkins.
Features: Often includes integrated printing (for logos or designs), embossing (for texture and strength), counting, and automatic folding mechanisms.
Varieties: Can produce different folds (e.g., 1/4 fold for dinner napkins), and come in various capacities and automation levels (semi-automatic to fully automatic).
Tissue Paper Making Machine (Converting):
Function: This term can be broad, but in the context of converting, it often refers to machines that process jumbo rolls into various tissue products like toilet rolls, paper towels, or general-purpose tissues.
Features: May include rewinding, perforating, cutting, and sometimes even packing functionalities.
Pop-Up Tissue Paper Making Machine (Facial Tissue Making Machine):
Function: Specifically designed to interfold tissue sheets, creating a “pop-up” effect where pulling one tissue makes the next one partially emerge from the box.
Features: These machines are typically highly automated, featuring knife roller shear cutting, vacuum adsorption for precise folding, and automatic counting. They often come with embossing capabilities (fringe or full flower patterns) and tension adjustment devices to ensure dimensional accuracy. An important safety feature is automatic shutdown upon paper breaks.
General Making Process (Converting):
Jumbo Roll Loading: Large rolls of tissue paper (the raw material) are loaded onto the machine’s unwind stand.
Unwinding and Tension Control: The paper is unwound smoothly, with tension control systems ensuring consistent feeding.
Embossing (Optional): The paper passes through embossing rollers to create desired patterns, which add softness, strength, and visual appeal.
Printing (Optional): For branded napkins or tissues, printing units apply logos or designs.
Folding: The core of the process. Depending on the machine, the paper is folded into the desired configuration (e.g., 1/4 fold for napkins, V-fold for pop-up tissues, C-fold for hand towels).
Cutting: The folded continuous paper is cut into individual sheets or units.
Counting and Stacking: Finished napkins or tissues are counted and stacked into desired quantities.
Packaging: The stacks are then packaged into plastic bags or cardboard boxes, either manually or through automated packaging machines.
Raw Materials
The primary raw material for napkin and tissue paper making machines is jumbo rolls of tissue paper (also known as parent rolls or mother rolls). These jumbo rolls are produced by larger paper mills and can be made from:
Virgin Pulp: Derived directly from fresh wood fibers, offering the highest quality, softness, and absorbency.
Recycled Pulp: Made from recycled paper products, an eco-friendly and often more cost-effective option, though the softness might vary.
Blends: Many manufacturers use a combination of virgin and recycled pulp to balance quality and cost.
The quality of the jumbo roll directly influences the final product’s characteristics like softness, strength, absorbency, and brightness.
