Packing sanitary pads starts with measuring bulk behaviour on your floor, not copying another factory’s HMI recipe. For Sanitary Pad, plan around n/a (unit count) bulk density and n/a as the primary materials variables. Recommended metering is count / wrap / collate (not powder fill) — this is not a powder-auger application. YugMach publishes configuration prices from Mathura so buyers get price transparency before GST; final figures still follow pouch size, film, and options. On sanitary pad lines, seal development usually begins near 100–130°C with dwell in the 0.4–1.0 s band, then moves after peel tests on your laminate lot. Gas or barrier target context is n/a. Typical films include PE soft film, Printed PE laminate, Paper-poly outer. Pouch bands commonly cover Single pad wrap, 8–16 pad pack, Bulk outer. Planning throughput sits near 60–200 pads/min line-dependent when product, film, and changeovers cooperate. Critical failure modes unique to sanitary pads: soft PE melt risk; adhesive wings; fibre dust; multipack collation; clean-feel contamination. Design SOPs and spare kits around those five, not around generic ‘packing machine maintenance’ checklists. Keep free-fall near 150 mm or lower when fracture or dust generation is a risk for this SKU family. Gas flushing is usually secondary or irrelevant for sanitary pads; moisture, alkalinity, count accuracy, or wrap integrity dominate instead. Spend engineering time on WVTR, corrosion resistance, and seal cleanliness rather than nitrogen plumbing you will never use. Sanitary Pad packing is unit- or count-driven rather than gram-giveaway driven. Track wrap integrity rate, multipack reject rate, and print scuff rate every shift — those KPIs replace ‘grams overweight’ on powder lines. Bar or pad length tolerance of roughly ±1–2 mm often decides whether shrink or collation looks retail-ready. Mechanical envelope: expect on the order of 4.5 kW class connected load depending on servos and heaters, and roughly 6 bar clean dry air if actuation is pneumatic. Film path width planning around 100 mm face/web context is a common starting point for mid retail SKUs, but collar selection must match the actual formed cross-section. Wrong collars score film, wander longitudinal seals, and create scrap that looks like a temperature problem. Sanitary pad lines convert, wrap, and collate; soft PE seals at 100–130 °C to avoid melting coverstock. Adhesive wings and release paper paths need jam sequences that do not smear adhesive onto seal rollers. Fibre dust control protects the clean product perception customers expect. Multipacks of 8–16 units fail in distribution when outer seals are marginal — abuse-test outer packs. Do not staff this line as if it were a spice auger hall; tooling and spares lists are entirely different. Housekeeping for sanitary pads must match chemistry: wipe intervals, extractor filter changes, and elastomer replacement differ from a dry rice demo line. Never hose electrical cabinets. Dry contact parts fully after wet cleaning before restart. Document screw RPM or weigher combination limits, seal temperature, and flush settings on a laminated card at the machine for each sanitary pad SKU. Factory acceptance should include at least three steady hours on the hardest sanitary pad SKU with agreed scrap and weight or count tolerances. Record film lot, ambient °C, and RH — monsoon air in North India changes powder flow and snack oil feel. Train two operators and one fitter before sign-off; demand drawings, pneumatic diagrams, and password policy with the machine. Spare parts with lead time risk for sanitary pad lines include sealing jaws or Teflon, forming collars for each width, and filler-specific wear parts (auger flights, cups, weigher buckets, linear pans, wrap belts, or count sensors as applicable). Buying the cheapest film that ‘almost seals’ at 100–130°C usually raises scrap more than the reel savings. Commercial comparison: use published prices for price transparency, then insist on trials with your sanitary pads and your film. Numbers that decide the purchase are density, n/a, peel strength, giveaway or reject rate, and sustained packs per minute — not marketing adjectives. GST is extra on published tags; nitrogen, extra heads, and special MOC change the final configuration cost. For sanitary pad, revisit film COF if packs slip on inclined outfeeds; a 0.05 COF shift from a new reel lot can raise fall-over scrap without any machine fault. Operators packing sanitary pads should know the abort sequence for film break and hopper empty — untrained clears are a top source of bent jaws and cut fingers. Keep a scrap Pareto for sanitary pad with categories for seal, weight/count, and print; fund fixes for the tallest bar first. When ambient RH jumps 15–20 points, re-check the first 50 packs of sanitary pads before releasing the shift’s production. Align purchasing of film and spare collars for sanitary pad so a width change does not strand the line waiting for tooling. For sanitary pad, revisit film COF if packs slip on inclined outfeeds; a 0.05 COF shift from a new reel lot can raise fall-over scrap without any machine fault. Operators packing sanitary pads should know the abort sequence for film break and hopper empty — untrained clears are a top source of bent jaws and cut fingers. Sanitary pad wrapping near converting dust requires positive air or enclosures so fibre does not embed in seals. Soft PE gauges vary by supplier; a 5 µm thinner film can force temperature down to avoid burn-through. Multipack outer bags should survive 1 m drop tests onto corners — retail abuse is real.
