YG Machinery supplied a tissue converting machine to a tissue paper factory in Harare, Zimbabwe. The factory was using an outdated production line. Power consumption was high. Roll stability was poor. Output was limited. Product quality was inconsistent. Daily output was only 3 tons. It took 8 workers per shift. Machine breakdowns were frequent. Customer complaints about roll quality were common.
The factory upgraded to a YG tissue maker machine with 10 tons/day capacity. Fully automatic rewinder, cutter, and packaging machine. PLC control system for stable operation. Remote installation guidance provided. Daily output increased from 3 tons to 5 tons. Workers reduced from 8 to 4 per shift. Energy consumption reduced by 20%. Product quality stabilized. The machine paid for itself in 8 months.
From 3 Tons to 5 Tons Per Day
A tissue paper manufacturer in Harare, Zimbabwe, was struggling with an outdated production line. The factory produced toilet rolls in 2-ply and 3-ply. Demand was growing. But the old machines could not keep up.
The old line had many problems. Power consumption was high. Roll stability was poor. Output was limited to 3 tons per day. Machine breakdowns happened often. Workers spent more time fixing machines than producing.
Customer complaints about roll quality were increasing. The factory needed to expand. They needed higher output, better quality, and lower costs. They needed a modern tissue converting machine.
The Problem with the Old Production Line
The old production line had several issues that were holding the factory back.
Low Output
- Only 3 tons per day
- Could not meet growing demand
- Lost sales to competitors
High Labor Cost
- 8 workers per shift
- Many workers needed for manual handling
- Labor cost was eating into profits
Poor Product Quality
- Roll stability was inconsistent
- Some rolls were too loose, others too tight
- Customer complaints were frequent
Frequent Breakdowns
- Machines stopped often
- Production delays were common
- Maintenance costs were high
High Power Consumption
- Old motors used too much electricity
- Energy bills were rising
- No energy efficiency features
The factory manager knew they needed a change. The old line was costing them money and customers.
Choosing the Right Tissue Making Machine
A tissue making machine is designed for converting jumbo rolls into finished tissue products.
The fully automatic system includes a rewinder, cutter, and packaging machine in one production line.
Suitable for:
- Toilet roll production
- Facial tissue manufacturing
- Kitchen towel production
- 2-ply and 3-ply paper processing
- Core and coreless rolls
What the factory needed:
- Higher output (5+ tons per day)
- Fewer workers (automated operation)
- Stable product quality
- Lower energy consumption
- PLC control for consistent performance

Here is what the factory received:
| Specification | YG Tissue Machine |
| Production capacity | 10 tons/day |
| Raw paper width | ≤2100mm |
| Rewinding speed | 0-200 m/min |
| Finished roll diameter | Φ60-150mm |
| Paper core diameter | Φ32-50mm |
| Perforation pitch | 90-180mm |
| Paper layers | 1-3 layers |
| Control system | PLC |
| Power supply | 380V/50Hz |
Three Machines in One Line
Paper Rewinding Machine
- Converts jumbo rolls into smaller rolls
- Trims edges, slits width, controls roll diameter
- Handles 1-3 layers of paper
Roll Paper Cutting Machine
- Cuts large rolls into individual tissue rolls
- 150 cuts per minute capacity
- Clean edges with accurate cutting
Paper Packaging Machine
- Automatically bags and seals finished rolls
- 110-120 bags per minute
