Cotton Pad Making Machine FAQ

Yes. The KNK-310 is a flexible cotton pad making machine for cosmetic cotton pads, facial pads, makeup remover pads and cotton rounds. The final product structure still depends on the selected material, mold design, embossing pattern and edge-sealing requirement.

Yes. The KNK-310 main machine can produce multiple shapes and sizes by changing the corresponding embossing, edge-sealing and cutting mold components, then loading the matched operating parameters. A new product drawing must be reviewed before the mold package and production layout are confirmed.

“310” refers to the total 310 mm raw-material web width, not a fixed cotton pad diameter or length. The product shape and dimensions determine the mold, and the mold arrangement determines how many pads fit across the web. For example, a 70 × 75 mm square pad may use a four-across layout, while a Ø58 mm cotton round may use a five-across layout, subject to final engineering confirmation.

Potentially, yes. Specialty facial pad formats can be evaluated for the same KNK-310 platform, but compatibility is not determined by shape alone. KNK engineering must review the material construction, layer count, dimensions, embossing, edge structure and sample requirements before confirming the process and tooling.

The KNK-310 is designed for compatible non-woven, spunlace and cotton-layer constructions used in cosmetic pad production. A typical reference range is 120–240 gsm, but the usable range depends on fiber composition, thickness, number of layers, tensile behavior and the required edge effect. Send material samples or a technical data sheet for confirmation.

The standard KNK-310 process uses controlled thermal embossing and edge-sealing methods for compatible multilayer materials rather than applying liquid glue in the forming area. Because bonding behavior varies by material construction, KNK will test or review the proposed material before confirming the final process settings.

The standard configuration automates material feeding, tension control, embossing, edge forming or sealing, cutting, counting and stacking. Final packing remains manual unless a separate packaging solution is engineered and included in the project scope.

A prepared mold and parameter changeover has a reference target of ≤45 minutes. Actual time depends on the product format, tooling package, operator training, access conditions and whether all replacement components and settings have been prepared in advance.

Operator planning depends on production speed, material handling and the manual packing method. A typical line can be planned around two or more operators, but the final staffing recommendation should be based on the selected output, pack format and factory workflow.

The current reference configuration requires a level industrial floor, AC 380 V / 50 Hz electrical supply, approximately 11 kW connected load and a stable 0.6–0.8 MPa compressed-air source. Final electrical standard, power load, air demand and site conditions must be confirmed on the approved technical specification before installation.

Yes. KNK can review machine placement, material flow, operating access, packing space and maintenance clearance. Recommendations draw on real manufacturing feedback from Guangdong Little Cotton’s 48,000 m² production facilities, while the final layout is adapted to the customer’s building, local requirements and project scope.
