Hand towel dispenser is a specialized paper processing device used to produce boxed or bagged continuous-release hand towels.
Its core function is to process wet-strength wood pulp paper through a series of processes such as embossing, cutting, and folding, transforming it into a finished product that is easy to dispense.
Equipment Overview and Working Principle
Hand towel dispenser are not complete papermaking machines that start from plant raw materials to make pulp and paper.
Instead, they belong to the category of “paper machinery” in the back end of papermaking and specialize in the processing of household paper.
Hand towel dispenser their working principle is as follows:
Base Paper Processing: The equipment uses roll-shaped wet-strength wood pulp paper (hand towel base paper) as raw material.
The base paper size is typically no more than Φ1100 mm, and the core inner diameter is generally 76.2 mm.
Embossing and Slitting: The base paper is first embossed using a steel-to-steel embossing device to increase its softness and appearance.
Subsequently, a pneumatic slitting system cuts the wide-width base paper into predetermined widths.
Folding and Forming: This is the core process of the equipment. It employs a unique full-vacuum adsorption folding technology to alternately fold the slit paper into an “N” shape, achieving a continuous draw-out structure where one sheet is pressed against the next.
This technology can simultaneously complete multiple processes such as folding and counting, resulting in high efficiency and stable operation.
Output: The folded hand towels are neatly stacked, resulting in boxed or bagged continuous-release hand towels.
The standard dimensions are 230 mm (length) × 225 mm (width) ± 2 mm, but other sizes can be customized upon request.
Hand towel dispenser technical parameters and system composition
Speed and Power: Operating speed range is 0-180 m/min, controlled by a variable frequency speed control system, with a main power of approximately 5KW.
Control System: Typically uses a Mitsubishi PLC computer programmable controller, coupled with a human-machine interface, to achieve automated operation.
Folding System: The core is a vacuum adsorption folding device, with a vacuum system power between 15-32KW.
Auxiliary System: Includes a pneumatic system (requires a 3-horsepower air compressor), an automatic periodic lubrication system,
an electronic counting and ink-marking counting system, and a transmission system consisting of synchronous belts and chains.
Mechanical Structure: The entire machine adopts a fully enclosed structure,
with overall dimensions of approximately 3000×1600×1900 mm and a weight between 4500 and 6800 kg.
Hand towel dispenser application areas and market prospects
Hand towel dispensers produce hand towels primarily for hand cleaning in factory workshops, hotels, offices, and kitchens.
Due to their convenience and hygienic nature, and as a disposable product,
they possess significant market potential in the context of increasing public health awareness.
Hand towel dispenser technical characteristics and development background
Hand towel dispenser its advanced technology is mainly reflected in its highly automated processing flow and stable vacuum adsorption folding technology.
Its development relies on the advancements in the broader papermaking and paper products machinery industries.
The history of papermaking machinery can be traced back to ancient Chinese papermaking techniques,
while modern large-scale industrial machinery gradually matured after the 18th century.
Hand towel machines and other paper products machinery,
based on this foundation, are specialized and automated equipment for the deep processing of specific household paper products,
reflecting the segmentation and extension of the papermaking industry chain.
