Wet Wipes Production Line and Factory Setup

A wet wipes production line is an integrated industrial system designed to unwind nonwoven fabric, impregnate it with wetting solution, fold, cut, heat-seal into packs and label the finished product. The line produces wet wipes for personal care, baby care and industrial use under hygienic conditions.

From an industrial perspective, wet wipes manufacturing is important because it combines controlled fabric handling, precise impregnation with deionized water and functional additives, multi-lane folding (6–20 lanes), accurate cutting, high-speed heat sealing (60–160 packs/min) and labeling to achieve consistent moisture content, pack integrity and shelf life. Typical capacity is around 1000 wipes/min.

Primary raw materials typically include nonwoven fabric (spunbond), deionized water, preservatives, softeners, alcohol, fragrance and packaging materials. Core machinery consists of unwinders, wetting systems, folding machines (6–20 lanes), cutting machines, heat-sealing systems (60–160 packs/min), labeling machines and date printers.

The Industrial Department supports investors establishing a new wet wipes factory as well as existing plant owners requiring repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of current lines. Projects can start from an empty site or from an operating facility that needs technical upgrading.

Whether the goal is a green-field turnkey wet wipes plant in Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan or other regional markets, or the modernization of an existing line in Iran, engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning and ongoing technical support can be provided under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The wet wipes production line is engineered as an integrated process system covering fabric unwinding, impregnation, folding, cutting, heat sealing, labeling and date printing. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase; typical capacity is around 1000 wipes/min with packaging speed 60–160 packs/min.

Product types include personal care, baby care and industrial wet wipes in various pack formats. The overall process flow follows a defined sequence: unwinding of nonwoven fabric, impregnation with wetting solution, multi-lane folding, cutting, heat sealing into sachets or canisters, labeling and date printing.

Main machinery groups include unwinders, wetting systems, folding machines, cutting machines, heat-sealing systems, labeling machines and date printers. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power and process water (including deionized water preparation).

Manpower requirements depend on the degree of automation. Quality control covers moisture content, fold accuracy, seal integrity and packaging. Finished product is stored under controlled conditions before distribution.

Products

An industrial wet wipes production line can manufacture personal care, baby care and industrial wet wipes in various pack formats according to market requirements.

Raw Materials for Wet Wipes Factory

Raw material selection and quality control are critical for moisture content, skin compatibility and shelf life. The main materials used are described below.

Main Raw Materials

Nonwoven fabric (spunbond) – Provides the wipe substrate.
Deionized water, preservatives, softeners, alcohol, fragrance – Form the wetting solution.

Secondary / Optional Materials

Packaging materials (sachets, canisters) and cartons

Storage and handling conditions must be controlled to preserve fabric and solution quality; hygienic standards apply throughout the process.

Manufacturing Process

The industrial wet wipes process follows a defined sequence of unit operations.

Unwinding – Nonwoven fabric (spunbond) is unwound from the roll.
Wetting – Fabric is impregnated with wetting solution (deionized water, preservatives, softeners, alcohol, fragrance).
Folding – Impregnated fabric is folded in single or multi-lane configuration (6–20 lanes).
Cutting – Folded fabric is cut to the required wipe size.
Heat Sealing and Packaging – Wipes are heat-sealed into sachets or canisters (60–160 packs/min).
Labeling and Date Printing – Packs are labeled and coded with date information.
