Manufacturing method of non-woven wet wipes

Nonwoven wipes, also known as disposable wipes, are made using a process called wet-laid nonwovens. This process involves the following steps:

 

Fiber preparation: The raw materials, such as wood pulp or synthetic fibers, are prepared for use in the production process. This may involve breaking down the fibers into smaller pieces and mixing them with other ingredients, such as binders and preservatives.

 

Fiber dispersion: The fibers are dispersed in water to create a slurry, which is then poured onto a moving belt.

 

Fiber alignment: As the slurry passes over the belt, the fibers are aligned in a specific direction. This can be done using mechanical forces or through the use of an electrical field.

 

Dewatering: The water is removed from the slurry using a combination of mechanical forces, heat, and vacuum.

 

Calendering: The wet nonwoven fabric is passed through a set of rollers to smooth and compact the fibers.

 

Drying: The wet nonwoven fabric is then dried to remove any remaining moisture.

 

Finishing: The dried nonwoven fabric is cut into the desired size and shape, and it may be treated with additional chemicals or coatings to give it specific properties.

 

Packaging: The finished wipes are packaged in bags or other containers for distribution and sale.
