FLEXIBLE COTTON PAD MAKING MACHINE

One KNK-310. More Cosmetic & Makeup Remover Pad Formats

Produce round, square, oval and custom cosmetic cotton pads, makeup remover pads and cotton rounds on one flexible platform. Automated feeding, embossing, edge forming, cutting and stacking; final packing remains manual.

  • 310 mm Total material web width
  • 7-Axis Independent servo control
  • ≤45 min Changeover target
  • Flexible Manual final packing

Proven Manufacturing Experience

Automation Refined Through Real Production

KNK equipment is developed with operating data from real, high-volume nonwoven manufacturing—not only short trial runs in a showroom.

  • 48K Integrated Manufacturing Facility
  • 300M+ Cotton Pads Produced Annually
  • 100+ Active Machine Installations
  • 80+ Manufacturing Clients
  • 5+ Key Export Markets Served

Manufacturing facility and annual production figures include KNK’s factory-proving operations with Guangdong Little Cotton Non-woven Products Co., Ltd.

Tested in Real Production

Core systems are continuously evaluated under high-volume factory conditions, allowing mechanical stability and operating parameters to be refined using real production data.

Focused on Nonwoven Converting

Our engineering work is concentrated on spunlace, pure-cotton and multilayer nonwoven converting, supporting more consistent cutting, forming and material handling.

Clear Automation Scope

Material feeding, precision die-cutting and stacking are automated, while final packing remains manual to preserve packaging flexibility and control the initial investment.

What Is Automated—and What Remains Flexible

The KNK line automates the high-speed converting stages from material feeding through finished-pad stacking. Final packing remains operator-managed in the current configuration.

  1. 01 Tension-Controlled Feeding Regulates the nonwoven material before processing. Automated
  2. 02 Precision Cutting and Forming Servo-controlled processing for round, square and custom formats. Automated
  3. 03 Finished-Pad Stacking Counts and arranges completed pads into organized stacks. Automated
  4. 04 Final Product Packing Operators pack stacks into the required bag, box or private-label format. Operator-Managed
Why keep final packing flexible? Manufacturers can change pack counts, bags, boxes and market-specific formats without committing to one fixed packaging system. Packaging automation can be evaluated as a separate integration project.

Material Efficiency

Improve Yield at the Cutting Stage

Round cotton pad production inevitably leaves trim between circular cuts. KNK focuses on the controllable factors: cutting spacing, rotary registration and the layout of each pad across the material web.

  • Compact Cutting Pattern Reduces avoidable spacing between adjacent circular cuts.
  • Stable Rotary Registration Helps maintain repeatable cutting positions at production speed.
  • Project-Specific Layout Review Evaluates roll width, pad diameter and layer construction before the final configuration is proposed.
Yield is application-specific. Actual waste rates depend on material width, pad diameter, GSM, layer construction, stretch and operating settings. We calculate each project from the customer’s material data rather than promise one universal percentage.
