Toothpick Production Line and Factory Setup

A toothpick production line is an industrial system designed to manufacture wooden toothpicks from bamboo or birch wood through cutting, turning, sharpening of both ends, polishing, drying, and packaging. The product must be uniform, sharp, splinter-free, and hygienic.

High-volume production with consistent quality is achieved through dedicated multi-knife machines and automated packaging.

Main raw materials include bamboo or birch wood, and packaging materials. Core equipment consists of cutting machines, turning machines, double-end sharpening machines (typically 10 knives, capacity up to 800,000 pieces per 8 hours), polishing machines, dryers, and packaging machines.

The Industrial Department supports new investors establishing a toothpick 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 toothpick line is a sequential wood-processing system. Capacity is determined during engineering (typical high-volume lines can reach hundreds of thousands of pieces per shift). The process sequence is: cutting wood to short lengths, turning to thin rods, cutting to toothpick length, double-end sharpening, polishing, drying, and packaging.

Main machinery includes wood cutting machine, turning machine, double-end sharpener (10 knives, high capacity), polishing machine, dryer, and packaging machine (100–300 packs/min).

Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power, process water, dust extraction, and space for wood storage and finished goods. Manpower is typically 2–4 persons per shift.

Products

The line produces standard wooden toothpicks for retail and food-service packaging in various pack sizes (100, 200, 500 pieces, etc.).

Raw Materials for Toothpick Factory

Main material is bamboo or birch wood. Packaging materials complete the list. Wood must be suitable for food contact and free of strong odors.

Sahi Rasa For Factories raw material

The Supply Chain Department supports identification, evaluation, and supply of suitable wood and packaging materials. Services may include supplier evaluation, procurement coordination, specification control, logistics, and supply from Iran for regional projects.

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

Cutting – Wood is cut into short pieces.
Turning – Pieces are turned into thin rods of the required diameter (approximately 2–2.5 mm).
Length Cutting – Rods are cut to toothpick length (typically 6.5–7 cm).
Double-End Sharpening – Both ends are sharpened simultaneously on a multi-knife machine.
Polishing and Drying – Surface is polished and residual moisture is removed.
Packaging – Toothpicks are packed into retail or bulk packs.

Machinery & Equipment

Cutting and Turning Machines – Prepare the thin rods.
Double-End Sharpener – High-capacity machine with multiple knives for simultaneous sharpening of both ends.
Polishing Machine – Removes splinters and smooths the surface.
Dryer – Removes residual moisture.
Packaging Machine – Packs the finished toothpicks at high speed.

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

Factory Layout & Building Requirements

Typical areas: wood storage, processing zone, polishing and drying, packaging, finished goods storage, utilities, and staff facilities. Dust extraction is important.
