In the field of medical care, absorbent cotton rolls are a fundamental and indispensable consumable. Their fluffiness, absorbency, and fiber integrity directly impact their performance. The core of the production process lies in efficiently and consistently transforming high-quality absorbent cotton fiber into finished rolls with precise specifications and neat appearance. As a specialized manufacturer of medical material forming equipment, we focus on providing fully automatic, high-precision production lines for converting absorbent cotton fiber into finished rolls.
Key Challenges & Core Tasks for Absorbent Cotton Roll Production Equipment
Producing high-grade medical absorbent cotton rolls requires equipment that precisely addresses the following core issues:
- Fiber Protection: The carding and opening processes must maximize the preservation of the natural length and strength of the absorbent cotton fibers, avoiding excessive damage. This is fundamental to maintaining the finished product’s fluffiness and absorbency.
- Uniformity Control: Ensuring consistent weight per unit area and thickness across the entire roll length and between production batches is a key indicator of product quality and professionalism.
- Efficient Forming: Achieving continuous, automated production from loose fiber to rolled products with moderate tightness, flat ends, and preset length/weight, ensuring high output and low waste.
- Clean Production: Equipment design must facilitate easy cleaning, minimize dust and fiber accumulation, and provide a clean production environment for the product.
Core Technical Solutions of Our Automatic Absorbent Cotton Roll Production Line
Our production line is tailored to the physical characteristics of absorbent cotton, focusing on gentle fiber handling and precise forming:
1. Gentle Opening and Carding System
Utilizes multi-stage progressive opening and gentle carding technology to softly loosen absorbent cotton fiber batt into a uniform web. Key components feature special surface treatments and optimized speed ratios, ensuring efficient fiber transport while effectively reducing fiber breakage and knotting, guaranteeing web uniformity and loft.
2. Precise Web Formation and Conveyance
A cross-lapper or direct layering system builds the fiber web to the desired weight. The system operates smoothly with precise tension control, ensuring clear, even web stratification, which forms the foundation for uniform roll forming.
3. Fully Automatic Precision Winding and Forming System (Core Section)
Constant-Tension Winding Control: A servo-driven system applies a constant, gentle tension throughout the winding process, ensuring consistent density from the core to the outer layers and optimal roll firmness.
Precise Length Measurement & Cutting: Integrated high-precision length measurement and high-speed cutting devices enable automatic, accurate cutting to preset lengths with neat edges.
4. Integrated Intelligent Control
The entire line is synchronized by a central PLC system with a Human-Machine Interface (HMI). Operators can centrally set and adjust key parameters like web layers, roll length, and production speed. The system features data logging and fault alarm functions, ensuring stable and controllable production flow.
