Manufacturing process
- Sheets of rolled wood pulp are continuously and automatically fed to the pulp crusher, which crushes the supplied pulp into cotton-like fluff.
- The fluffed pulp is then molded into strips and supported by tissue paper.
- Two absorbent layers of cotton are placed on two sides of the molded strip.
- The waterproof polyethylene film is laid on the sides of the absorbent layers, and the entire strip is wrapped by a non-woven fabric.
- The strip is processed by hot sealing and embossed with figures.
- The continuous diaper strip is forwarded by a conveyor and cut into separate pieces.
- Each diaper is placed into bags, arrayed, and packed for storage and distribution.
Market
