Method and apparatus for manufacturing wet wipes

摘要

This method for producing wet wipes includes the following steps: a step for vertically folding non-woven cloth sheets; a step for impregnating the sheets with a chemical; a step for stacking the sheets; a step for cutting the sheets at predetermined lengths; a step for pulling the cut sheets away from a transporting conveyer provided with a suction mechanism by means of a pusher, and stacking the cut sheets; a step for pressing a bundle comprising the sheets; and a step for packaging the bundle. The pusher is disposed between the transporting conveyers. The blades of the pusher have a plurality of tooth sections. The pusher drops the sheets suctioned to the transporting conveyer downwards by means of moving vertically downwards.

1. A method of manufacturing wet wipes formed of a stacked body of sheets impregnated with a predetermined chemical, the method comprising:
conveying, in a conveyance direction, a fabric of a plurality of sheets in a state where the sheets are folded, impregnated with the predetermined chemical, and stacked on each other; cutting the stacked sheets during conveyance, at a predetermined interval in a cross direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction to obtain the stacked body of the sheets; then conveying, by a conveyance device, the stacked body of the sheets; and detaching the stacked body of the sheets from the conveyance device, by means of a pusher which is provided with a projection protruding toward a surface of the stacked body of the sheets, and reciprocates in a direction intersecting with the conveyance direction and the surface of the stacked sheets, wherein the projection has a plurality of tooth portions, each of the tooth portions has an inlet side and an outlet side downstream of the inlet side in the conveyance direction, the inlet and outlet sides of the tooth portion are inclined with respect to the conveyance direction at first and second inclination angles, and the first inclination angle between the inlet side and the conveyance direction is greater than the second inclination angle between the outlet side and the conveyance direction.
