Localizing production to meet rising demand for high-quality toilet paper in Kenya.
With Kenya’s rapid urbanization and growing personal hygiene awareness, local demand for high-quality toilet paper is rising. Mr. Kamau, founder of a Kenyan daily necessities company, decided to invest in an automatic toilet paper production line to solve his manual workshop’s insufficient capacity and the high cost of imported toilet paper, aiming to localize production and enhance competitiveness.
Mr. Kamau needed to replace manual processing with an automated line that could deliver consistent quality, reduce labor dependency, and lower per-roll costs compared to imports.
After in-depth research and supplier comparison, Mr. Kamau chose our company for its customization capability, reliable quality, and sound after-sales service. We customized a complete toilet paper production line for him, including three core machines: a toilet paper rewinding machine, a toilet paper cutting machine, and a toilet paper packing machine, plus supporting auxiliary equipment.
As the core of the line, this PLC-controlled machine processes jumbo rolls into uniform, precisely perforated toilet paper logs. It supports 1-3 ply processing at 0-200 m/min, with adjustable roll diameter from φ90 to φ300 mm. Automatic loading and tension control reduce labor and ensure wrinkle-free quality.
Connected to the rewinding machine, this unit cuts logs into market-standard small rolls (100/200-sheet). With PLC control and automatic sharpening, it achieves precise cutting at 50-300 mm adjustable length and 100-180 rolls/min, solving manual inefficiency and size inconsistency.
The final link automatically sorts, wraps, and seals small rolls into market-ready products. It packs up to 20 packs/min with 8/10/12 pieces per pack, matching Kenyan standards. Automatic feeding and side ironing ensure neat, waterproof packaging.
Before delivery, our team fully debugged the toilet paper production line to ensure all machines operated in sync.
We trained Mr. Kamau’s employees on operation, maintenance, and fault handling procedures.
We provided a 1-year warranty and 24-hour technical support for timely problem-solving.
Three months after installation, Mr. Kamau’s company achieved remarkable results: 60% lower labor costs, 3x higher efficiency, and 40% lower per-roll cost than imports. Its stable, well-packaged products are popular with local supermarkets and hotels.
With this production line, Mr. Kamau expanded his Kenyan market share and started supplying neighboring countries. He praised our equipment and service, planning to purchase another line. This cooperation promoted local toilet paper production and the hygiene industry in Kenya.
The rewinding machine operates at 0-200 m/min, the cutting machine at 100-180 rolls/min, and the packing machine at up to 20 packs/min.
Yes, the rewinding machine supports 1-3 ply processing with adjustable roll diameters from φ90 to φ300 mm.
