Feminine hygiene machine

Buyers must prioritize production speed (e.g., 500–1200 pcs/min) and stability. Ensure the machine features a Full-Servo driving system, which allows for precise tension control and reduces material waste. Key components like the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and Touch Screen should be from reputable brands like Siemens or Mitsubishi to ensure long-term operational reliability.

For the European market, the machine must have a CE Certification to meet safety, health, and environmental requirements. For the US market, compliance with UL standards for electrical components is often necessary. Additionally, since the end products are medical/hygiene items, the machine should be capable of producing goods that meet ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality management standards.

A high-quality machine should offer modular design, allowing for quick changeovers between different sizes (e.g., day use, night use, or panty liners). It must be compatible with various raw materials such as SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer), non-woven fabrics, air-laid paper, and PE backsheets. Look for features like automatic raw material unwinding and splicing to ensure continuous production without downtime.

The machine should be designed for a dust-free workshop environment. It must include a high-speed vision inspection system to automatically detect and reject defective products (e.g., stains, structural flaws, or missing tape). Furthermore, the automatic packaging unit should be integrated to minimize manual contact, ensuring the final products meet strict sanitary requirements.

Always look for Audited Suppliers who have undergone on-site inspections by third-party institutions like SGS or TÜV Rheinland. Review their Audit Reports to check their production capacity, factory size, and export history. Requesting a video factory tour or a live demonstration of the machine in operation is highly recommended before placing a deposit.

Use Secured Payment services provided by Made-in-China.com to protect your funds until the goods are shipped. For large machinery, a common payment structure is 30% T/T as a deposit and 70% after successful Fat (Factory Acceptance Test) but before shipment. Never transfer full payment upfront to a new supplier.

Ensure the contract specifies remote technical support, warranty periods (typically 12–24 months), and the availability of wearing parts (spare parts kits). Given the complexity of the equipment, negotiate for on-site installation and technician training services, clarifying who covers the costs of travel and accommodation for the engineers.

The machine must be treated with anti-rust oil and wrapped in vacuum plastic packaging to prevent corrosion from sea air. It should be secured in sturdy wooden crates (fumigated) and fixed firmly inside the container using steel wires to prevent shifting during maritime transport. Ensure the supplier provides a detailed loading report and photos.
