Machine Introduction
This case study introduces our fully automatic cut & fold machine developed for medical-grade hand towels (non-dispenser use), widely used in hospitals, clinics, and surgical scrub rooms.
Unlike standard tissue converting machines designed for dispenser formats, medical hand towels require more consistent folding geometry, controlled handling, and repeatable final dimensions to support hygiene workflows and downstream packaging.
The process is engineered as:
Vertical folding (C-fold or W-fold) → cutting → final folding by required towel size, ensuring stable shape and stack alignment across different specifications.
Supported formats: C-fold & W-fold (Vertical fold options)
Final size folding: customizable by towel dimensions
Result: consistent output, reduced labor dependency, and medical-ready folding quality.
Designed for medical hand towels used in scrub rooms and hygiene-controlled environments — not for dispenser tissue production.

Case Study | Fully Automatic Scrim Paper Hand Towel Cut & Fold Solution
| Section | Content |
|---|---|
| Industrial Background | Scrim paper hand towels are widely used in hospitals, clinics, and surgical scrub rooms for hand drying after surgical hand washing. Demand is stable and specification requirements vary by market, hospital system, and end user. |
| Main Market Issues | • Most production lines rely on semi-automatic cutting or long-blade cutting systems • Folding design is fixed and cannot support multiple fold types on one machine • Finished towel size adjustment is limited and inflexible • Changeover requires mechanical modification or separate machines • Production speed is constrained by cutting and folding limitations |
| Customer Demand | • Flexible folding formats (e.g. C-fold, W-fold) on the same machine • Adjustable towel size to meet different market standards • Stable folding quality across different configurations • Higher and more consistent production speed • Reduced reliance on manual operation |
| Solution | A fully automatic scrim paper hand towel cut-and-fold machine designed specifically around the structural behavior of scrim material. Cutting and folding are integrated into one continuous process, enabling flexible folding patterns and size adjustment without manual intervention. |
| Applications | • Medical scrim paper hand towels• Surgical scrub room drying towels• Disposable hospital hygiene consumables |

Vertical Fold Options (Before Final Size Folding)
C-Fold (Vertical fold)
W-Fold (Vertical fold)
Final Folding by Required Towel Size
After vertical folding, towels are folded again based on customer-required dimensions, forming the final stack size ready for packing.
Working Process
Material Feeding
Scrim reinforced paper rolls are loaded onto the unwinding station(s) with stable feeding control.Tension Control & Web Guiding
The web passes through tension and guiding systems to ensure smooth, wrinkle-free feeding and stable fold alignment.Vertical Folding (C-fold / W-fold option)
The material is folded longitudinally to form the internal structure — C-fold or W-fold.Cutting to Length
The vertically folded web is cut into individual towel lengths. Length parameters are adjustable.Final Folding by Required Towel Size
After cutting, each piece is folded again based on the final customer-required towel dimensions, forming a consistent stack format.Discharge & Stacking
Finished towels are discharged in a well-aligned, pack-ready format suitable for manual or automated packaging.
