Future development trend of diaper machine

Before 2000, almost all sanitary napkin production equipment in China was imported. But after more than ten years of efforts, the production equipment of sanitary napkins is basically self-sufficient, and even the production equipment of high-performance diapers has made great progress. Compared with developed countries, the domestic diaper equipment manufacturing industry started late, but after 10 years of development, absorb foreign advanced equipment manufacturing experience diaper from the initial research, digestion and independent research and development and innovation of the development of products from the traditional perimeter to reduce the baby diaper production line baby pull-up and adult diaper pants production line, the production speed from 150~200 pieces /min To 500~600 pieces /min, equipment type, production speed, product quality stability, automation and safety performance improvement, international influence and market competitiveness.

According to the market research, the future trend of domestic diaper equipment will be reflected in the following aspects:

1. High-end and high-speed

With the improvement of living standard and upgrading of consumption level, consumers put forward higher requirements for the appearance and comfort of diapers. With the rising prices of raw materials and energy and increasing labor costs, the price sensitivity of diaper machines for domestic users is gradually decreasing, and there is an increasing demand for equipment production efficiency and stable production quality. It must meet the basic requirements of domestic equipment, and some foreign companies even use domestic equipment, but this year with the increase of user demand, foreign production equipment, taking the high-end route is favored again. Japanese products have always sold well at home, but in recent years they have begun to outstrip supply and demand for high-speed, high-end nappy-making equipment has been on the rise, according to the survey by the Health Journal. Therefore, on the one hand, the production speed of domestic diapers will be developed from the current 500~600 /min to 1000~1200 /min, while the quality stability of production will be significantly improved, and the rejection rate will be reduced to less than 3%. On the other hand, the development trend of diapers is thin, the core thickness is thinner, the proportion and quantity of fluff pulp will be less and less, which requires domestic equipment to improve the SAP mixing than diapers and fluff pulp and core layer uniformity, hybrid technology breakthrough 1:1 ratio reached more than 60%, and SAP application better uniformity, will not produce gel phenomenon

2. Automation and modularity

With the high-end development of diaper equipment, the structure of the equipment is more and more complex. If automation does not increase, more skilled technicians will be needed to operate. With the disappearance of China's demographic dividend, labor costs increase significantly, users want to buy the trend of high degree of automation, less labor amount of equipment, so domestic equipment will be widely used in diapers PLC programmable control, intelligent man-machine dialogue operation technology, automatic detection technology, automatic stripping technology, automatic fault diagnosis technology at the same time, servo drive, pneumatic, hydraulic and mechanical movement organically Together. The research and development of stacker, packaging equipment and other supporting equipment will also speed up the seamless connection with the main engine, and realize the automation of the whole process from raw material input to finished product output to packaging and packaging.

With the high end of diaper equipment and the complexity of equipment structure, the price of equipment is getting higher and higher. Users put forward higher requirements on the service life and utilization rate of equipment. Equipment module, on the one hand to upgrade equipment, increase new functions and product specifications, time is shorter, lower cost, thus extending the service life of equipment, improve the utilization rate of equipment, users get the maximum return on investment; On the other hand, to meet the flexibility requirements of diversified end-product equipment, improve the production efficiency of equipment when switching users to different products, reduce downtime and production costs, in order to meet the diversity, differentiation, small batch, fast cycle needs of the final product market. Make products safer, more energy efficient and more environmentally friendly.

With the continuous improvement of the production speed of diaper equipment, higher requirements are put forward for the safety of equipment operation. In the future, equipment manufacturers must think, design and manufacture equipment from the perspective of customers, help customers with reasonable layout in the workshop, and provide customers with customized, safe and convenient operation equipment. This requires that the device must be completely turned off during operation and that all running objects, including raw materials, cannot be touched by hands. Therefore, we must do our best to improve every detail, eliminate the unstable factors one by one, and ensure that the equipment is completely shut down for a long time. For example, safety protection devices are installed on the operating surface with emergency shutdown switches, safety signs, equipment drive safety traction wires, and heat dissipation systems.

In terms of energy conservation, on the one hand, we will phase out high-power electrical appliances and use energy-saving appliances with high efficiency, stability and longer life, such as variable frequency motors. On the other hand, we should innovate the production process and adopt new technologies with low energy consumption and cost. For example, the waist closure is rolled by hot air instead of ultrasound, which has a similar feel but reduces energy costs. In the aspect of environmental protection, dust removal system and muffler noise reduction equipment, pulse dust removal method is widely used in cement industry, such as raw coal industry will be widely used in domestic diaper equipment.

3. Baby diaper devices are on the rise.

The fourth baby boom in China, coupled with the adjustment of population policy, the baby diaper market still has room for growth. With the improvement of consumption level, baby diapers will expand the use. Compared with developed countries, there is a large gap between the market penetration rate of baby diapers and the per capita consumption penetration rate, and the price gap of baby diapers is large. As a result, the baby diaper market will continue to see double-digit annual growth in the next 10 years, well above the global average. Compared with the baby diaper market, the domestic market is still in its infancy compared with developed countries. The consumption level and habits have changed, and the more comfortable and fashionable lala pants market has quietly emerged. The rapid development of the baby diaper market and the development of the market will bring broad development space and high growth rate for the domestic baby diaper equipment manufacturers.

4. Adult diapers have a lot of room

China will enter an old age society. The proportion of the elderly is growing. With the continuous improvement of living standards and medical technology, people's life is getting better and better, and the aging of the population is intensifying. At the same time, people's demand for quality of life and corresponding purchasing power is also increasing. It is estimated that there are about 200 million incontinence patients worldwide and 25 million incontinence patients in China, which will bring huge room for development of the adult diaper market in China. According to expert analysis, the adult diaper market is larger than the baby diaper market, and the adult diaper market has huge potential, which will bring broad space for the development of domestic equipment manufacturers and adult diapers. The profit margin of adult diaper machine is 10 percentage points higher than that of baby diaper equipment, and it will become a new growth engine for diaper equipment manufacturers.

5. The gap between domestic diaper equipment and foreign well-known equipment

At present, the foreign market has entered into China's diaper equipment manufacturing enterprises, mainly from Japan, Italy Rui Guang company and France Mackenico Company. Compared with well-known equipment at home and abroad, the biggest gap is not the equipment structure, because the shape structure is very similar, but the equipment performance and the precision of the key working parts and die cutting, because the precision of the equipment and key parts of the use of performance directly affects the stability of the equipment operation, product quality and stable production speed and efficiency. Improve the domestic demand for mechatronics technology, improve the performance and accuracy of key components of equipment, improve the depth of integration and domestic diaper equipment; As the domestic heat treatment technology, improve the quality of workers and high-precision processing equipment is no longer limited to Europe and America.

Domestic diaper equipment still has a long way to go, continue to learn from other foreign well-known equipment manufacturers of equipment quality, equipment design, excellent high-speed stability, combined with the rapid development of domestic diaper equipment, short delivery cycle, high cost and fast, thoughtful customer service advantages. As long as we attentively, learn the market, learn and absorb advanced equipment manufacturing technology, management methods and experience, adhere to independent innovation, the domestic diaper equipment will develop into the leading international equipment.
