Yundu Wet Wipes Packaging Production Line Solution

Wet wipes look simple from the outside. In production, they demand precision at every step.

A good wipes line must control fabric feeding, liquid dosing, folding, cutting, stacking, lid applying, cartoning, and palletizing without losing speed or hygiene. That is exactly why Yundu designs complete integrated solutions for disposable household cleaning wipes and baby wipes. Our goal is not only to make a machine run fast, but to make the whole line work as one stable system.

At the core of this solution is the CD-2000H-16L fully automated wet wipe production line. It uses eight fabric feeding units with a 1-to-2 cutting configuration. It performs automated cutting, folding, liquid dispensing, length-controlled cutting, counting, stacking, and automatic transfer to packaging machines. The system also uses non-stop automatic material feeding, online joint detection and rejection, tension control, and automatic alignment correction. In practice, this means fewer interruptions, less material waste, and more stable output.

For manufacturers, that stability matters. Wet wipes are not just “paper products.” They are a controlled hygiene product made from nonwoven fabric, liquid, and packaging materials that all have to match. Hydroentangled nonwoven fabrics are widely used in hygiene and wipes applications because they are soft, absorbent, strong, and flexible, while still maintaining good drape and low linting. Scientific studies on spunlace nonwovens describe hydro-entangling as a water-jet bonding process that creates a mechanically bonded structure suitable for wipes and personal care products.

That material choice is one reason the CD-2000H-16L line is so effective. It is designed for hydroentangled nonwoven fabric and washable nonwoven fabric in the 30g–80g/m² range. The line supports single-sheet unfolding dimensions of (150–230) × (180–300) mm and folding dimensions of (150–230) × (90–120) mm. It also handles wet wipe pack sizes of (200–280) × (90–120) × (30–90) mm. That makes the line suitable for household cleaning wipes, baby wipes, and other high-volume wipe formats.

The folding system is built for speed and consistency. The design speed reaches 0–10,000 sheets per minute, while the stable folding speed runs at 4,000–7,200 sheets per minute. This gives customers room for different product specifications while keeping the line practical for real production. The packaging side supports 65–90 packs per minute, and the lid-laying speed also reaches 65–90 lids per minute, depending on lid size and shape.

The line’s feeding structure is one of its biggest strengths. The 8-group original fabric frame uses a 1 cutting and 2 band automatic splitting dual-roll frame. Each roll opens independently, and the system keeps feeding without stopping. That non-stop feeding design shortens material changeover time and helps the factory maintain output during long production runs. Each roll also has an independent automatic alignment system, which reduces deviation and supports better folding accuracy.

The machine also includes photoelectric eye detection connectors and an automatic defective connector rejection system. This is especially important in wipes production, because a weak joint or damaged web section can create a downstream jam, an uneven stack, or a packaging problem. By detecting and rejecting defects early, the line protects both product quality and production efficiency.

Liquid management is another key part of wipe manufacturing. Wet wipes need uniform moisture. Too little liquid and the wipe feels dry or fails to perform. Too much liquid and the pack may leak or become unstable. Yundu’s system uses quantitative liquid addition with a metering pump, plus dual stirring tanks and a humidification and stirring system. That helps the liquid stay consistent from the beginning of production to the end.

This matters because water chemistry is not a minor detail. In a wipes line, liquid quality affects absorbency, storage stability, and end-user experience. For lines that need purified process water, Yundu also offers a secondary reverse osmosis water treatment system (without EDI). Reverse osmosis is a membrane separation process that forces water through a semipermeable membrane under pressure, leaving salts and other impurities behind. In other words, it removes contaminants by letting water pass while holding back dissolved solids. That principle is well established in water treatment literature.

For wet wipes, that is a practical advantage. Clean process water supports cleaner liquid preparation, better production consistency, and a more reliable hygienic standard. The RO system helps the factory build a stronger foundation for stable wipe quality before the liquid even reaches the fabric.

The line uses a Keyence PLC motion control system with integrated I/O control. This gives the operator precise coordination across feeding, folding, cutting, dosing, stacking, and transfer. In a production line like this, control is everything. When all actions happen in sync, the line becomes faster, cleaner, and easier to manage.

The machine dimensions are 16,800 × 4,230 × 2,200 mm, and the machine weight is 15,000 kg. Power supply is 380V / 50Hz / three-phase four-wire system, customizable as needed, with total equipment power of 50KW and air source requirement of ≥0.6 MPa. These specifications show that the line is built as a serious industrial solution, not a light-duty machine.

At the packaging stage, Yundu can integrate the folding unit with packaging equipment or run them independently. That flexibility gives customers better equipment utilization. Some factories want one continuous automation chain. Others need to produce several sizes or product types and prefer separate operation. The Yundu system supports both models.

For lid application, Yundu recommends the CD-550-H fully automatic robotic lid applying machine, with a speed of 75–90 lids per minute. In a wet wipes line, lid placement must be accurate because the lid affects both consumer usability and package appearance. The machine uses a robotic approach to keep the process stable and efficient.

After lid application, the line can move to the CD-20BL cartoning machine. This model is designed for large-package horizontal arrangement with double-layer and double-row placement. That structure is useful for secondary packaging because it keeps packs organized and ready for shipping. Cartoning is more than just putting products in a box. It is the final stage where product flow becomes logistics flow.

For the wipes production side, Yundu also offers the CD-2008G-II new two-row fully automatic 5–30 sheet wet wipes machine. This is a strong option for customers who need a smaller or different wipe count range. In many projects, a production line is not built from one machine only. It is built from a family of matched machines that share the same engineering logic and production goal.

That is where Yundu’s single-machine expertise becomes especially valuable. Customers often begin with one wet wipes machine and then expand into a full line later. To support that path, Yundu provides the wet wipes making machine here: Yundu wet wipes making machine.

Cassie, our sales manager,often points out that Yundu has a quality advantage in single-machine manufacturing, and with the support of our suppliers, we can quickly match the right production line solution for each customer. That means faster planning, faster integration, and a more efficient full-line manufacturing result.

This approach saves time in the real world. Buyers do not need to search for disconnected equipment from multiple sources. They can work with one engineering team that understands the folding unit, the liquid system, the packaging stage, and the downstream logistics. That reduces interface risk and shortens commissioning time.

The final stage of the line is the collaborative palletizing robot, supplied with a 1-meter conveyor belt. This is the right choice for modern wipes factories because palletizing is repetitive, physically demanding, and easy to standardize. A collaborative robot can help move finished cartons to pallets in a controlled way, improving safety and reducing manual labor pressure. It also helps create a cleaner, more automated end-of-line workflow.

When you combine all of these parts, you get a complete wet wipes production ecosystem:

The fabric enters the line.
The machine opens, aligns, cuts, folds, and stacks it.
The liquid system doses moisture with precision.
The packaging machine seals the product.
The lid applicator finishes the consumer pack.
The cartoner organizes the packs for shipping.
The robot stacks cartons efficiently on pallets.

That is the kind of integrated thinking modern manufacturers need.

It is also the reason Yundu’s wet wipes packaging solution is attractive for baby wipes, household cleaning wipes, disinfectant wipes, and personal care products. The line supports hygienic production, stable output, and flexible customization. It also helps factories move from scattered equipment to a coordinated, scalable production platform.

For buyers, the real value is not just the spec sheet. The real value is a line that works as one system. Yundu designs that system with speed, hygiene, control, and long-term production efficiency in mind.
