Production efficiency upgrade
Improve Cotton Pad Production Efficiency
Already making cotton pads? The KNK-310 automates the stages that slow most lines down: feeding, forming,
cutting and counting. Output gets faster, more consistent and easier to pack.
- Up to 2,000 pcs/min (latest model)
- Mold and parameter changeover in ≤45 minutes
- 7-axis independent servo drive
- Counted, staggered output for faster packing
Where lines lose output
Most bottlenecks appear before packing
In many cotton pad factories, speed is capped by unstable feeding, inconsistent cutting, manual sorting and slow changeovers, not by the packers.
Feeding
Unstable material feed
Wrinkles, edge drift and roll changes stop the line and change pad quality.
Cutting
Inconsistent shapes
Worn or poorly timed cutting leaves rough edges, rejects and wasted material.
Output
Manual sorting
When pads are not counted at the machine, operators sort and count by hand before packing.
Changeover
Slow product changes
Every size or pattern change means new rollers and settings. Without a routine, downtime grows.
How the KNK-310 fixes it
Five automated stages, one stable line
-
Web guiding
Infrared edge correction and tension control keep the material aligned through roll changes.
-
Hot-press lamination
Heated composite rollers bond multilayer fiber structures with no liquid glue.
-
Embossing
Custom rollers add surface texture and a premium look.
-
Rotary die cutting
Servo-timed cutting gives clean edges and consistent round, square or custom shapes.
-
Counting and output
Set the count on the touchscreen. Staggered stacks go straight to packing.
What changes in your factory
Faster for the owner, easier for the floor
For factory owners
- Up to 2,000 pcs/min on the latest KNK-310
- Less manual handling before final packing
- Consistent pad shape, embossing and lock edge
- A clear path to packaging automation later
For production managers
- Stable speed control with servo-driven transmission
- Speed, count and temperature set on one touchscreen
- Real-time production status and alarms
- Repeatable setups through saved mold and parameter settings
Upgrade assessment
Four questions we ask before quoting an upgrade
Send us these answers and KNK engineers will tell you where your line is losing output and what an upgrade would change.
| Question | Why it matters | What KNK checks |
|---|---|---|
| What is your output per shift today? | Shows whether the bottleneck is forming, cutting, packing or staffing. | Compared with KNK-310 speed: up to 2,000 pcs/min on the latest model. |
| Which pad sizes do you make? | Each size needs its own mold rollers and setup time. | Mold configuration and changeover plan. |
| How many operators pack? | Packing can become the limit once upstream speed improves. | Manual packing layout or future packaging integration. |
| How much material is wasted? | Waste drives unit cost and long-term margin. | Waste collection and recovery options. |
