Gachn Technology Showcases Intelligent and Sustainable Hygiene Product Packaging Solutions

The global disposable hygiene products industry is moving rapidly toward automation, digitalization, and sustainable manufacturing. As manufacturers face rising labor costs, stricter quality requirements, and increasing demand for flexible production, packaging equipment is becoming an important part of factory modernization.

As an experienced supplier of hygiene product packaging machines, Xiamen Gachn Technology Co., Ltd. continues to invest in R&D and intelligent automation technologies to help hygiene product manufacturers improve production efficiency, packaging quality, and energy management.

During the 32nd Tissue World International Technology Exhibition held from April 14 to 18, Gachn Technology General Manager Li Yuanming shared the company's latest developments in technological innovation, quality control, intelligent manufacturing, and green packaging.

High R&D Investment Drives Packaging Technology Innovation

Technology innovation has always been an important part of Gachn's development strategy.

The company invests approximately 10% of its annual revenue in R&D, while R&D personnel account for around 39% of its total workforce. Gachn has obtained more than 140 patents, covering multiple key technologies used in disposable hygiene product packaging equipment.

The company has also received several industry recognitions, including National High-Tech Enterprise, National Intellectual Property Advantage Enterprise, Provincial Specialized and Sophisticated Enterprise, and Innovative Enterprise.

At the exhibition, Gachn presented several high-speed automated packaging solutions.

Its high-speed sanitary napkin and pantyliner sorting and packaging system can achieve sorting speeds of up to 1,600 pieces/min for sanitary napkins and 2,600–2,800 pieces/min for pantyliners, with packaging speeds reaching 130 packs/min.

For baby pants-style diapers, the automatic sorting and packaging system can achieve sorting speeds of approximately 800–900 pieces/min and packaging speeds of 40–45 packs/min.

The automatic nursing pad sorting and packaging system can reach sorting speeds of 1,000–1,200 pieces/min, with packaging speeds of approximately 40–45 packs/min.

These solutions are designed for manufacturers that require high production capacity without compromising packaging consistency.

Improving Packaging Quality with Intelligent Inspection

Production speed is only one part of a modern sanitary napkin packaging machine.

For hygiene product manufacturers, package appearance, sealing quality, and product consistency are equally important.

Gachn has developed patented technologies designed to ensure that the folded ends of packages are aligned consistently, creating a cleaner and more attractive appearance on retail shelves.

The equipment can also integrate advanced visual inspection systems to identify packaging abnormalities such as missing codes and sealing defects.

By combining mechanical automation with intelligent visual inspection, manufacturers can reduce quality risks while maintaining stable high-speed production.

From Manufacturing to Intelligent Manufacturing

Today's hygiene product manufacturers are looking for more than standalone equipment.

They need packaging systems that can support flexible production, production data management, quality traceability, and factory-level digitalization.

Gachn aims to become more than an equipment supplier. The company is developing its role as a technology partner for customers' digital transformation.

In recent years, Gachn has invested in intelligent system development and built an AIoT platform for its equipment.

Industrial IoT modules can be integrated into machines to collect production and operating data and connect with MES and ERP systems. This allows manufacturers to monitor equipment status and production information in real time.

Gachn is also applying digital twin technology to production equipment development. Through virtual prototypes and CAE simulation, engineers can analyze technical parameters and identify potential product quality issues before physical production.

AI-powered visual inspection can further identify very small defects and help reduce problems such as incomplete sealing and folding deviations.

For larger factories, automated material handling systems, AGVs, and automatic palletizing equipment can also be integrated into packaging lines to reduce manual intervention.

Green Packaging Technology for Lower Energy and Material Consumption

Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important consideration for global hygiene product manufacturers.

Gachn has therefore made energy efficiency and material optimization an important part of its equipment development.

Its packaging equipment can use intelligent energy-saving control programs. After reaching a preset standby time, the system can automatically enter a shutdown mode, helping reduce overall energy consumption by approximately 15%–20%.

Compressed air management and electrical power management systems can also provide more visible information about energy consumption.

Material efficiency is another important area.

High-precision servo control technology enables more accurate cutting and helps reduce unnecessary packaging material waste. Under suitable production conditions, packaging material utilization can be improved by more than 5%.

Gachn is also working with international partners to develop equipment compatible with lower-weight single-material packaging solutions, which can potentially reduce packaging material consumption by more than 40%.

In addition, its equipment can support a range of environmentally friendly packaging materials, including PLA, PBAT, and paper-based packaging materials, depending on the specific application and machine configuration.

Developing Packaging Solutions for Emerging Global Markets

The growth of local hygiene product manufacturing in emerging markets is creating new opportunities for packaging equipment suppliers.

Markets including India, Indonesia, and Africa are gradually increasing their local production capacity as manufacturers seek alternatives to imported hygiene products.

However, these markets can also present challenges, including cost sensitivity, high humidity, and unstable power supply.

To address these requirements, Gachn is developing more cost-effective basic equipment configurations while continuing to improve its international technical service network.

The company is also establishing overseas technical support capabilities to provide faster assistance for customers in different regions.

For international buyers, local technical support can be an important factor when evaluating an automatic packaging machine, particularly for factories operating continuously across multiple shifts.

Building More Competitive Intelligent Packaging Equipment

China has a relatively complete manufacturing supply chain and strong advantages in equipment manufacturing, customization, and delivery efficiency.

However, Gachn recognizes that international competition also brings higher technical requirements.

Long-term machine stability, high-end motion control components, precision sensors, industrial software, high-speed multi-axis synchronization, and compatibility with advanced packaging materials remain important areas for further development.

Gachn is therefore continuing to invest in technology upgrades, including the development of more independently controlled industrial software platforms, improved adaptability to complex production processes, higher equipment safety standards, and stronger international technical support.
