What is the Tissue Paper Production Line Toilet Paper Making Machine?
The Tissue Paper Production Line Toilet Paper Making Machine is an automatic converting machine that processes large parent or jumbo tissue rolls into smaller toilet-paper logs.
It does not manufacture tissue paper from pulp. Instead, it performs the downstream converting stages required after jumbo tissue has already been produced or purchased.
The machine can carry out several functions in one automated process:
- Feeding tissue from a jumbo roll
- Full or edge embossing
- Rewinding with or without a cardboard core
- Perforating the tissue into individual sheets
- Cutting the end of the log
- Applying adhesive to secure the tail
The resulting logs must then be cut into individual toilet rolls and packed. Buyers planning a complete production operation should therefore confirm whether compatible log-cutting and packaging machines are included or must be ordered separately.
How does the toilet-paper making machine work?
The machine converts jumbo tissue into finished logs through a continuous rewinding process.
- Jumbo-roll loading: The selected jumbo tissue roll is mounted on the appropriate stand and fed into the machine.
- Embossing: The tissue passes through a steel-to-rubber embossing unit. Depending on the selected configuration, full embossing or edge embossing can be applied.
- Core feeding or coreless setup: The machine’s core-feeding system allows toilet-paper logs to be produced with a cardboard core. It can also operate in a coreless configuration.
- Perforation and rewinding: The tissue is perforated at a selected distance between 100 and 150 mm and rewound into a log. Operating data is managed through the touchscreen HMI and PLC.
- End cutting and tail sealing: Once the required log diameter is reached, the machine cuts the end and applies adhesive to secure the loose tail.
- Downstream converting: The completed log is transferred to a separate cutting machine, which divides it into individual rolls. The rolls can then proceed to the required packaging equipment.
What materials and products can it process?
The machine is designed to process jumbo tissue rolls with a stated paper weight of 13–16 grams per square metre.
Its verified output applications include:
- Cored toilet-paper rolls
- Coreless toilet-paper rolls
- Standard toilet-roll logs
- Maxi-roll logs
The specified finished-log outside diameter ranges from 90 to 140 mm, while the inside diameter ranges from 38 to 76 mm.
Input compatibility should be confirmed against the chosen model, particularly the jumbo-roll width, tissue grammage, roll-core size, number of plies and parent-roll diameter.

What are the main operational benefits?
Automated process control
The PLC and touchscreen HMI allow operators to enter and manage production data through a central control interface. This supports repeatable settings and reduces dependence on manually controlling every converting stage.
Multiple production widths
Seven models accommodate maximum jumbo-roll widths ranging from 1,350 to 2,750 mm. Buyers can therefore select a machine according to their parent-roll supply and intended production scale.
Cored and coreless production
The integrated core-feeding capability supports conventional rolls with cardboard cores, while the machine can also manufacture coreless products. This gives producers greater flexibility when serving different customer segments.
Integrated converting functions
Embossing, perforation, rewinding, end cutting and tail-glue application are combined within the machine. Integrating these stages can simplify product movement compared with performing each operation on separate equipment.
Adjustable roll formats
A finished-log outside diameter of 90–140 mm, inside diameter of 38–76 mm and perforation distance of 100–150 mm support different toilet-roll formats within the machine’s stated limits.
Configurable product presentation
Optional one- or two-colour printing, lamination and alternative embossing arrangements allow the line to be configured for different product designs. These options must be specified before manufacture and included in the quotation.
Frequency-controlled operation
The main drive uses frequency-conversion speed regulation. This allows the operating speed to be adjusted according to the tissue material, product format and production conditions.
Why does this equipment matter for African manufacturing?
Toilet paper is a frequently purchased hygiene product used by households, businesses, hotels, schools, healthcare facilities and government institutions. Local converting gives manufacturers an opportunity to turn jumbo tissue into finished products closer to the markets they serve.
Because this machine processes existing jumbo tissue rather than producing paper from pulp, it may offer a more focused entry point into tissue manufacturing. The complete project still requires dependable jumbo-roll supplies, cutting and packaging equipment, appropriate utilities, trained operators, maintenance capacity and a viable distribution network.
Local toilet-roll conversion can contribute to:
- Development of domestic hygiene-product manufacturing
- Regional procurement of jumbo tissue and packaging materials
- Production for institutional and private-label customers
- Reduced dependence on transporting bulky finished rolls over long distances
- Development of machine-operation and maintenance skills
- Expansion of regional manufacturing and distribution networks
The commercial case will differ by country. Buyers should assess local tissue supply, electricity reliability, logistics costs, labour availability, competing manufacturers and customer demand before choosing a production capacity.

Frequently asked questions
Does this machine manufacture tissue paper from raw pulp?
No. This machine is designed to convert prepared jumbo tissue rolls into perforated, embossed toilet-paper logs. It does not include the stock preparation, pulping, sheet formation, pressing and drying systems used in a tissue-paper mill. Buyers need an appropriate supply of jumbo tissue rolls before operating the converting line.
What production capacity does the machine provide?
The product page states an operating speed of 0–230 metres per minute and output of approximately 15,000–25,000 rolls during an eight-hour shift. Actual production can depend on the selected model, roll dimensions, tissue quality, number of plies, operating settings, changeovers and downstream cutting and packaging capacity. Afrimart should confirm the capacity for the buyer’s specific product.
Which jumbo-roll widths can the machine handle?
The available models accommodate listed maximum widths from 1,350 to 2,750 mm. The 1092B handles up to 1,350 mm, while the largest 2800B configuration handles up to 2,750 mm. Buyers should select a model that matches the jumbo-roll widths available from their intended tissue supplier.
Can it produce toilet rolls with and without cores?
Yes. The machine includes a core-feeding capability and is described as suitable for manufacturing both cored and coreless toilet-paper products. The required inside diameter ranges from 38 to 76 mm, while the standard listed jumbo-roll core size is three inches or 76.2 mm. The precise configuration should be specified in the order.
What utilities are required?
The listed main drive requires 7.5–15 kW, depending on the machine model, with a stated supply of 380 V at 50 Hz. The user must also provide a 3 hp air compressor capable of meeting the specified minimum pressure. Local electrical compatibility and total connected load should be checked before installation.
Does the machine deliver individually cut and packaged toilet rolls?
Not by itself. The rewinder creates a completed toilet-paper log after embossing, perforation, rewinding, end cutting and tail sealing.
