Sanitary Napkin Production Line and Factory Setup

A sanitary napkin production line is a high-speed hygienic converting system designed to manufacture disposable sanitary pads from multiple nonwoven and absorbent layers. The process includes core forming, multi-layer bonding with hot-melt adhesive, shaping, and automatic packaging under strict hygiene conditions.

Consistent absorbency, soft surface, secure adhesive, and reliable packaging are critical quality attributes. The line must operate under controlled cleanliness standards.

Main raw materials include spunbond nonwoven, polyethylene film, fluff pulp, superabsorbent polymer (SAP), hot-melt adhesive, silicone release paper, elastic, and packaging film. Core equipment consists of unwinders, core formers, hot-melt applicators, die-cutting units, and high-speed packaging machines.

The Industrial Department supports new investors establishing a sanitary napkin factory and existing plant owners requiring repair, overhaul, capacity expansion, or automation. Projects may start from an empty site or from an operating facility needing technical upgrading.

Engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and technical support can be provided for projects in Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan, and other regional markets under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The sanitary napkin line is a continuous high-speed converting system. Capacity is determined during engineering (typical ranges 200–600 packs/min depending on configuration). The process sequence is: unwinding of raw material rolls, forming of the absorbent core, application of adhesives and bonding of layers, die-cutting and shaping, and final packaging.

Main machinery includes multi-roll unwinders, core forming unit (500–1000 kg/h), hot-melt adhesive system (10–20 nozzles, 150–180 °C), die-cutting unit (200–500 cuts/min), and packaging machine (200–600 packs/min).

Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power, compressed air, process water, and a clean production environment. Manpower is typically 8–15 persons per shift.

Products

The line can produce sanitary napkins in different sizes, thicknesses, and absorbency levels according to market requirements and material recipes.

Raw Materials for Sanitary Napkin Factory

Main materials are spunbond nonwoven, polyethylene film, fluff pulp, SAP, hot-melt adhesive, silicone release paper, and elastic. Packaging film and cartons complete the list. Material quality directly affects absorbency, softness, and leakage performance.

Support can be examined for projects in Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan Region (Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Duhok), Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, Afghanistan (Kabul, Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif), Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Syria, Oman, Jordan, Turkey, Armenia, and Georgia.

Manufacturing Process

  1. Unwinding – Raw material rolls are loaded and fed under controlled tension.
  2. Core Forming – Fluff pulp and SAP are formed into the absorbent core.
  3. Adhesive Application and Layer Bonding – Hot-melt adhesive bonds the multiple layers.
  4. Die-Cutting and Shaping – The continuous web is cut and shaped into individual pads.
  5. Packaging – Pads are automatically packed into individual or multipacks.

Machinery & Equipment

  • Unwinder – Feeds multiple rolls of nonwoven, film, and tissue.
  • Core Former – Creates the absorbent core from pulp and SAP.
  • Hot-Melt System – Applies adhesive for layer bonding (10–20 nozzles).
  • Die-Cutter – Cuts and shapes the pads at high speed.
  • Packaging Machine – Packs finished products at 200–600 packs/min.

Support is available for design, manufacturing or procurement, installation, commissioning, repair, overhaul, refurbishment, automation, and spare parts.

Factory Layout & Building Requirements

Typical areas: raw material storage (climate controlled if needed), production hall with hygiene zoning, packaging, finished goods warehouse, utilities, and staff facilities. Cleanliness and controlled access are important.

Utilities

  • Electricity: 380 V three-phase, 100–250 kW
  • Compressed air: 6–8 bar, 500–800 L/min
  • Water: 2–5 m³/day
