A tissue manufacturer in Risaralda, Colombia, with more than 20 years of experience in hygiene products, upgraded its facial tissue production by installing a full-automatic glue lamination facial tissue production line. The project replaced outdated semi-automatic equipment and addressed low efficiency, inconsistent quality, and high labor costs.
Colombia's hygiene products market has been growing, together with demand for quality facial tissue. The customer, a well-known tissue manufacturer based in Risaralda, decided to move from semi-automatic operation to a fully automatic line. Before choosing a supplier, the customer carried out in-depth research, technical communication, and on-site inspections across the global market.
The customer selected a full-automatic tissue paper production line built around four core devices: a glue lamination facial tissue paper folding machine, a cutting machine, a packing machine, and an integrated control system. Energy efficiency, stability, and flexibility matched the buyer's goals for high-speed production, quality improvement, and cost reduction.
| Equipment | Function and Key Specifications |
|---|---|
| Glue Lamination Facial Tissue Paper Folding Machine | Core of the line. PLC control and pneumatic operation for ease of use. Automatic glue lamination between two paper layers with dot-to-dot embossing, automatic counting, and automatic transfer of facial tissue from the folding machine to the cutting machine without manual handling. Speed of 80–100 m/min with adjustable width for production flexibility. |
| Glue Lamination Facial Tissue Paper Cutting Machine | Matched with the folding machine. Log saw knives for precise cutting at 0–100 cuts/min, ensuring consistent length and smooth edges. Frequency conversion motor saves energy and reduces rejection rates, supporting the subsequent packing stage. |
| Glue Lamination Facial Tissue Paper Packing Machine | Fully automates packaging in single-bag, multi-bag, and cartoning formats at 30–80 single packs/min or 18–30 multi-bag bundles/min. Automatic counting and stacking ensure accurate quantities and secure packaging, with adjustable specifications for different models. |
| Integrated Control System | Connects the three core machines to achieve full automation from raw material feeding to packaging. Energy-saving technology and automatic maintenance reduce consumption and downtime, requiring only 1–2 operators. |
Line layout was optimized to save floor space and ensure smooth connection between the folding, cutting, and packing stages.
Our team supervised installation of the four core devices and the integrated control system on site.
The line was commissioned from raw material feeding through to packaging, confirming full automatic operation.
Operators were trained to master daily operation and maintenance, backed by ongoing after-sales support.
After commissioning, the customer reported the following outcomes:
Juan, the customer's operation manager, commented: "We are satisfied with the line's performance—stable operation, simple use, and efficiency and quality exceeding expectations. The supplier's professional service solved all our worries, laying a foundation for long-term development."
