The global wet wipes industry is booming: the wipes market was worth USD 22.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $39.5 billion by 2034. Driven by heightened hygiene and convenience demands (accelerated by the pandemic), manufacturers are racing to scale up production. This makes automated wet wipes packaging machines essential. In particular, Yundu’s wet wipes packaging machines offer high throughput and consistency to meet this surge. They automate every step – from feeding nonwoven rolls to liquid dosing and sealing – enabling manufacturers to pack wipes faster, more reliably, and with less labor.
Yundu’s Wet Wipes Production Process (Step by Step)
Yundu’s machines integrate a complete production line. For example, a typical Yundu process (as on the high-speed YD-400W line) proceeds as follows:
Step 1: Nonwoven Roll Unwinding & Tension Control
A large roll of nonwoven fabric is mounted on a heavy-duty rack (up to 200 kg). Servo-driven rollers and guides unwind the fabric under precise tension, ensuring smooth feeding.
Step 2: Fabric Cutting/Alignment
The fabric is cut or measured to the correct wipe length. A photoelectric cursor detector aligns any printed pattern or fixes the feed, improving accuracy. A fabric transfer divider or correction device then straightens and guides the sheet for the next stage.
Step 3: Liquid Filling
Under sterile conditions, a high-precision pump injects the exact dosage of lotion, disinfectant, or sanitizer into each unfolded wipe. For example, Yundu machines use imported spray pumps (±0.01 ml tolerance) and medical-grade 316 stainless steel filling heads to ensure consistent dosing without leakage.
Step 4: Folding/Stacking (if needed)
Depending on the product (e.g. multi-layer wipes), the fabric may be folded or layered. Yundu machines have adjustable folding modules: single-fold, dual-fold or even up to 8 vertical folds. These options let manufacturers switch between products (single-sheet wet wipes, 5–40-sheet packets, etc.) with minimal downtime.
Step 5: Sealing
The wetted wipe is enclosed in a heat-sealable pouch. A high-temperature heat sealer uses heat and pressure to bond the packaging film edges into a strong, airtight seal. Yundu machines often employ double sealing steps for extra security: first sealing the liquid, then folding and resealing the package to eliminate leaks. The result is a hygienic package that locks in moisture and extends shelf life.
Step 6: Embossing & Punching
Many wipes are embossed for texture or perforated for easy dispensing. Yundu lines include embossing rollers and punching dies that gently emboss patterns or cut the pouches into individual sachets. Finally, a rotary cutter or punch separates the filled sachets into single units. Scrap or trim material is collected in a waste recycler for easy cleaning.
By orchestrating these modules in a continuous flow, Yundu machines produce uniform wet wipes packages at very high speed. For instance, the YD-400W horizontal line outputs up to 400 wipes/minute (24,000 wipes/hour), while the YD-800 model doubles that speed (up to 800 wipes/minute). In all machines, proprietary PLC and servo controls synchronize the cutters, pumps, and heat sealers so the process is smooth and contamination-free. (All contact parts are stainless steel to meet cGMP hygiene standards.)
High-Speed, High-Volume Production
One of Yundu’s biggest advantages is production speed. Their wet-wipe packaging machines are built for throughput. The YD-800, for example, reaches 800 pouches per minute. Even the standard YD-400W runs at 400/min. Such speeds far exceed manual packing or semi-automatic systems. As Yundu notes, its high-speed machines “allow packaging of a large number of wet wipes in a short time, increasing production efficiency”. In practice, this means a factory can meet surging demand (say for millions of hand sanitizing wipes) without adding shifts. And when market needs change (e.g. rapid response to a new health crisis), Yundu lines can keep pace: their robust design and continuous operation ensure minimal bottlenecks.
Advanced Automation and Control
Yundu machines feature state-of-the-art automation to maximize efficiency and consistency. Key components – fabric feed, cutting, filling pump, sealing bar – are all driven by PLCs and multi-axis servo motors. This digital control offers precise repeatability. For example, integrated sensors and servo pumps maintain exact liquid volumes for every wipe. The machines also include automatic defect detection and self-diagnostics, so they can pause or alert operators if a cut is misaligned or a pump fails.
A multilingual touchscreen interface (English, Spanish, French, Arabic, etc.) lets operators change formats or recipes quickly. Changeovers between products (baby wipes vs. alcohol swabs, for example) take just minutes because molds and guides are easily swapped. Overall, the high automation level means very little manual intervention is needed – a handful of workers can run an entire line. As Yundu emphasizes, their fully automatic machines “provide faster production with minimal human intervention”. The net result is streamlined production: machines can run 24/7 with consistent precision, boosting uptime and reducing human error.
Reliable Sealing and Product Quality
Keeping wipes moist and sterile is critical. Yundu’s machines excel at airtight, reliable sealing. They use heat sealing bars with uniform pressure and temperature control to bond the pouch edges. In fact, Yundu highlights “strong, airtight seals” that guarantee long-term moisture retention. Some models even feature a double-seal process: after filling, the pouch is sealed, then folded and sealed again, ensuring the liquid stays put.
Every machine is built to food/pharma hygiene standards (stainless 304/316 parts, GMP production). For example, the YD-800 “meets strict hygiene standards” and has medical-grade filling heads. This means wipes (whether used for baby care or medical disinfection) are produced without contamination. Additionally, consistent cutting and embossing (driven by precision servo control) ensure each wipe is identical. In sum, Yundu packaging machines deliver uniform, high-quality output – every sachet has the exact lotion dose, fold pattern, and seal integrity.
Flexibility for Various Wipe Sizes and Materials
Yundu’s equipment is highly versatile. It can handle everything from single-sheet sanitizing swabs to multi-sheet facial wipes. The machines support a wide range of materials – nonwoven fabrics, wet-strength paper, even laminated or biodegradable wraps. Bag sizes are customizable, and bag-width adjustment is built in (some models specify bag width up to 800 mm). Changeover is fast: by swapping folding plates and programming the PLC, one line can shift between baby wipes, makeup-remover wipes, alcohol pads, disinfectant wipes, etc. As Yundu notes, their machines “can handle different wipe sizes and configurations”, so they serve diverse markets. For instance, the YD-800B model even packages alcohol cotton swabs and facial masks in one system. This flexibility lets manufacturers switch products without buying new equipment – a big advantage in fast-changing markets.
Common wipe types produced on Yundu machines include baby wipes, disinfectant towelettes, alcohol swabs/pads, cosmetic & makeup-remover wipes, and even wet facial masks. In short, whatever the size or material, Yundu’s machines can be configured to pack it, making them suitable for personal care, healthcare, and industrial hygiene products alike.
