Dachang pitches custom wet wipes machinery as higher-value option

Dachang Paper Machinery is promoting custom wet wipes production lines from China as a lower-cost, more flexible alternative to standard equipment. The company says tailored systems can cut waste, speed changeovers and support different wipe formats, materials and packaging needs. Why it matters: - Wet wipes producers face a capital decision that can affect throughput, changeover time and long-term operating costs. - Custom machinery can help manufacturers switch between products faster as demand shifts across baby wipes, personal care packs and industrial or disinfecting wipes. - DACHANG is positioning its custom factory model as a way to improve ROI for global buyers looking for flexible production capacity. What happened: - DACHANG Paper Machinery promoted its custom wet wipes making equipment in a release dated June 16, 2026, from Quanzhou, China. - The company argued that tailored machinery offers better value than standardized, off-the-shelf lines for wet wipes manufacturing. - The release highlighted DACHANG as a Chinese manufacturer offering integrated wet wipes production systems and turnkey support. The details: - Standard equipment can create bottlenecks when manufacturers need to change products, materials or packaging formats. - Custom-engineered lines are designed to align with a producer’s product roadmap, raw material variables and regional market needs. - Wet wipes production lines typically handle nonwoven unwinding, liquid dosing, slitting, folding, packaging and lid application. - Custom lines can be built to process spunlace nonwoven fabric, dust-free paper and biodegradable materials. - Custom systems can adjust sheet count, sheet dimensions and folding formats within one line. - Custom configurations can support pop-up and non-pop-up wipes, with adjustable unfolded dimensions. - Specialized dosing systems and agitation tanks can be configured for different liquid viscosities and formulations. - Packaging options can include travel packs with resealable stickers, rigid tubs, flexible film bags and automated lid application. - DACHANG cited the DCW-4500J Full-auto Wet Wipes Folding Machine as an example of this flexibility. - The DCW-4500J includes automatic raw material splicing, an automated web guider and dual 600-liter agitation tanks. - The DCW-4500J handles raw material widths from 800mm to 1320mm and fabric weights from 35g/m² to 80g/m². - The machine runs at 400 to 450 cuts per minute. - The system can produce 8, 10 or 12 lines per cut. - The DCW-4500J supports pop-up and non-pop-up folding, with unfolded lengths from 130mm to 220mm and widths from 170mm to 220mm. - DACHANG said direct-from-manufacturer sourcing can lower pricing, shorten delivery times and speed after-sales support. - The company also promoted a one-stop turnkey service model covering layout planning, equipment selection, mechanical installation, electrical commissioning and operator training. - DACHANG said its integrated line can run from fabric unwinding through final lid application. - Dachang Paper Machinery was established in 1998. - The company said it engineered China’s first fully automatic wet wipe forming and packaging machine. - DACHANG says its portfolio now includes baby wipe production lines, travel wipe lines, single-sheet cosmetic wipe machines, rewinding wipe production lines and automatic lid applicators. - The company said it holds 59 national patents that have been commercialized and used in active production lines. Between the lines: - The release frames customization as an operational advantage, but the business pitch is also about cost control and vendor consolidation. - DACHANG is competing on total cost of ownership, not just purchase price. - The emphasis on patents and turnkey service is meant to signal technical depth and reduce buyer risk for overseas customers. What’s next: - DACHANG directs prospective buyers to its website for production configurations, technical specifications and turnkey solutions. - The company is likely to keep using flexibility, speed and localized support as the main selling points for international wet wipes buyers. The bottom line: - DACHANG is betting that custom-built wet wipes machinery will beat standard lines on adaptability, efficiency and long-term value.
