China Top 10 Sanitary Napkin Making Machine Suppliers

No.	Evaluation Dimension	Recommended Reference Benchmark	What to Verify	Suggested Weight	Common Warning Signs
1	Machine Capacity	Select a rated output that matches the target product and operating plan; commonly quoted capacity ranges from approximately 300 to 1,200 pieces per minute depending on configuration.	Confirm tested output, product size, raw-material specification, rejection rate, and whether the quoted speed is theoretical or sustained.	15%	Only a maximum speed is provided without a production test or acceptance criteria.
2	Product Compatibility	The line should support the required napkin format, dimensions, absorbent core structure, wing design, release paper, packaging style, and sealing method.	Request approved drawings, sample products, change-part lists, size-change procedures, and a demonstration using the buyer’s materials.	14%	The supplier cannot provide samples or treats every product size as a standard configuration.
3	Manufacturing Quality	A documented quality-management process should cover incoming materials, machining, assembly, wiring, testing, packing, and final inspection.	Check quality procedures, inspection records, equipment calibration, traceability, and relevant management-system certification where applicable.	12%	No inspection records, unclear component traceability, or refusal to conduct factory quality checks.
4	Automation and Control System	The machine should include a clear control interface, synchronized servo or variable-frequency drives where required, alarm records, recipe storage, and safety interlocks.	Review the electrical diagram, control-system functions, language options, fault history, remote-support method, and software backup policy.	10%	Unprotected control cabinets, undocumented software, or no backup for machine parameters.
5	Safety and Regulatory Compliance	The line should include guards, emergency stops, safe access points, electrical protection, warning labels, and a documented risk assessment suitable for the destination market.	Verify the applicable conformity documents, electrical schematics, safety-test records, user manual, and machine-specific declaration where required.	10%	Generic certificates that do not identify the machine or missing emergency-stop and guarding details.
6	Energy and Utility Consumption	Compare installed electrical power, compressed-air demand, operating speed, heating requirements, and material waste rather than purchase price alone.	Request a utility list, connected-load calculation, air-consumption data, operating assumptions, and measured waste percentage from a test run.	9%	Consumption figures are stated without operating conditions or exclude auxiliary equipment.
7	After-Sales Service	A dependable supplier should provide installation guidance, commissioning, operator training, troubleshooting support, and a defined response process.	Confirm service scope, support hours, communication channels, engineer availability, response targets, and training duration in the contract.	10%	Only informal messaging support is offered and no commissioning or training plan is provided.
8	Spare Parts and Maintainability	Wear parts should be clearly identified, reasonably accessible, and available with part numbers, recommended stock levels, and replacement instructions.	Review the spare-parts catalogue, lead times, recommended first-year stock, lubrication schedule, and preventive-maintenance checklist.	8%	Parts have no identification numbers or the supplier cannot provide replacement lead times.
9	Delivery and Project Management	The quotation should define manufacturing milestones, factory acceptance testing, packing, shipping responsibilities, installation conditions, and final acceptance.	Ask for a project schedule, payment milestones, inspection points, packaging specification, and a written delay-management procedure.	6%	The delivery date is stated without milestones, acceptance testing, or shipping responsibility.
10	Total Cost of Ownership	Evaluate the complete cost over the expected service period, including machine price, tooling, installation, utilities, labor, maintenance, spare parts, packaging, freight, and downtime.	Compare at least three itemized quotations using identical output, product, delivery, warranty, and service assumptions.	6%	A low initial price excludes tooling, installation, training, freight, or essential auxiliary equipment.
