Recently, BTM’s toilet paper making machine has been shipped to Kenya. This 1575-type tissue paper rewinder will run at a speed of 220 meters per minute in an industrial park on the outskirts of the capital Nairobi. BTM’s tissue manufacturing equipment will help Kenya expand its tissue production and meet Kenya’s 12% annual tissue consumption growth demand.
Kenyan Toilet Paper Market
As the economic engine of East Africa, Kenya’s toilet paper market has shown explosive growth, but localized production faces three difficulties:
Poor equipment adaptability: European and American models are expensive, and Indian equipment is difficult to handle 1800mm wide base paper；
High operation and maintenance costs: Frequent power outages cause the failure rate of traditional equipment to exceed 30%；
Low product flexibility: It is impossible to produce ∅50mm hotel rolls and ∅1800mm industrial substrates at the same time；
The Kenyan customer engineer who purchased the BTM toilet paper machine told us: “What we need is a toilet paper making machine Kenya solution like the 1575 model that combines Chinese cost-effectiveness with German precision. It can adapt to our voltage fluctuations and handle complex orders.”
Five African adaptability designs of the rewinder
BTM has localized the equipment in response to the working conditions in Kenya:
1. Power fluctuation immune system
The 5.5kW stepless variable frequency motor enables the machine to operate stably under 180-250V voltage fluctuations; the intelligent energy storage module ensures that the current coil cutting is completed in the event of a sudden power outage.
2. Ultra-wide processing capacity
The 1800mm base paper width processing capacity is 50% higher than that of Indian competitors; the three-layer synchronous unwinding rack design reduces the risk of uneven tension of wide paper
3. Intelligent maintenance system
The modular structure design reduces the tool replacement time from 45 minutes to 15 minutes. The PLC multi-language interface allows workers to complete parameter settings through icons.
Advantages Of BTM Toilet Paper Rewinder
- Flexible processing speed: 150-280 m/min stepless speed regulation to cope with order fluctuations during peak periods;
- Super compatibility: supports ∅30-55mm paper core and 1100mm large base paper diameter;
- Energy-saving design: the pneumatic system only requires 5kg/cm² air pressure to reduce the load of the air compressor;
- Three-layer unwinding rack synchronous calibration technology;
- Quick switching of 2-blade/3-blade punching module (150-300mm spacing adjustment)
- Automatic compensation for air pressure fluctuations (to cope with local air compressor performance differences)
Toilet Paper Production Line
The toilet paper rewinder can be combined with band saw paper cutter, toilet paper packaging machine and other equipment to build a complete production line. It can further expand the production capacity of toilet paper to meet the capacity expansion of toilet paper manufacturers and the growing local consumption demand. The customer who bought the toilet paper rewinder said: “We are still using a semi-automatic band saw paper cutter, and the packaging is semi-automatic. In the future, when our business expands, we will buy a fully automated production line.”
