Factory Setup Solution
Start a Round Cotton Pad Factory
KNK helps manufacturers plan a practical round cotton pad production workflow, from material preparation and machine configuration to labor planning, output handling, and future automation upgrades.
Planning Focus
A factory should be planned around workflow, capacity, and product format.
For new factory projects, the machine is only one part of the production decision. Manufacturers must also consider raw material width, roll handling, embossing style, product size, manual packing workflow, labor arrangement, and available factory space.
KNK Recommendation
Start with a practical semi-automatic production setup when the primary target is stable forming, cutting, stacking, and strict investment control. Packaging automation should be evaluated later according to steady volume and verified packaging types.
Factory Workflow
Recommended production flow for a new factory
01
Raw Material Setup
Select suitable non-woven or cotton material rolls and confirm width, roll diameter, layer structure, and surface requirements.
02
Machine Forming
Utilize KNK equipment for precision unwinding, guiding, embossing, hot-melt lamination, lock-edge forming, and die cutting.
03
Counting & Output
Set product counting directly on the touchscreen and utilize staggered output to support rapid downstream handling.
04
Manual Packing
Arrange operators for final packing based on product pack count, bag type, and target daily capacity requirements.
Setup Checklist
What to confirm before ordering equipment
Product Specification
Round diameter, square size, lock-edge type, embossing pattern, layer structure, and expected product thickness.
Target Capacity
Expected pcs/min, shift length, daily output, and whether the factory will run one shift or multiple shifts continuously.
Factory Conditions
Available physical space, AC 380V 50Hz power stability, compressed air supply, operator arrangement, and maintenance access.
Packaging Method
Manual bagging processes, pack count, bag material, label requirements, and whether future packaging automation is needed.
Mold Requirement
Different shapes and sizes require distinct customized mold rollers, including embossing, lock-edge, and precision cutting rollers.
Waste Handling
Round pad cutting inherently creates edge waste. Factories with high-volume output should actively discuss waste collection and reuse options.
