Recently, BTM exported a toilet paper rewinding machine to South Africa. The customer will use this equipment to upgrade the equipment and expand production output. The production speed of this automatic toilet roll rewinder can reach up to 280 meters/minute. And the single-shift capacity can reach 15 tons.
Overview of South African Tissue Market
As one of the most economically developed countries in Africa, South Africa has seen a continuous rise in demand for tissue paper in recent years as its population has grown, urbanization has accelerated, and hygiene awareness has increased. However, many local small and medium-sized paper processing plants still rely on old equipment, facing pain points such as low production efficiency, high energy consumption, and poor product consistency. The emergence of fully automatic tissue paper rewinders not only solves the production bottleneck of customers, but also helps them achieve rapid market expansion.
Customer Background And Core Needs
The customer’s main business is the production and distribution of toilet paper rolls, tissue paper, and hotel-specific paper products. The original semi-automatic rewinder has a speed of only 120 meters/min. And the average daily output is less than 8 tons, which cannot meet the order needs of large supermarkets. Under manual intervention, the rolls are frequently loose and tight, and the customer complaint rate is as high as 5%. The original equipment cannot match the ultra-wide (3500mm) base paper, which restricts the development of new product lines. In response to the needs of this customer, BTM customized the BTM-3500 toilet paper rewinder for it and localized it according to the characteristics of the South African market.
