As one of the essential items for women, sanitary napkins can be traced back to ancient times. However, the modern sanitary napkin industry did not start until the early 20th century, initially purely handmade, and production lines had not yet emerged. After years of development, in the 1950s, China's first
Sanitary Napkin Production Line was finally born.
Background of the emergence of China's first sanitary napkin production line
After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, in order to meet the people's demand for daily necessities, China began planning to produce sanitary napkins domestically. At that time, the introduction and production of sanitary napkins faced many problems. Firstly, sanitary napkins were a new thing at that time, and many people had not come into contact with them, so they did not know how to produce them; Secondly, production equipment needed to be imported, and at that time, China was in a state of economic backwardness and could not afford the high cost of imports; Once again, the production of sanitary napkins, which are related to women's private items, is a sensitive issue.
In order to solve these problems, the government has taken various measures. At that time, the National Economic Commission believed that sanitary napkins were a necessity for women, and this daily necessity should be produced and supplied by the state. In this context, sanitary napkins will be included in the national production plan and actively support enterprises in developing sanitary napkin production lines.
The construction of China's first sanitary napkin production line
After multiple trials and improvements, the first sanitary napkin production line in China was installed and debugged in Shanghai in 1953. This production line is designed and produced by the Chinese Ministry of Machinery Industry on the basis of Shanghai Jiuchuan Chazhuang Equipment Factory. This production line took nearly two years from design to construction, and through multiple simulations and continuous improvements, it finally became a landmark building in the Chinese sanitary napkin industry at that time.
This production line is a fully automatic production line that can complete all the processes of sanitary napkins production, including material cutting, embossing, color mixing, edge sealing, back film application, packaging, and so on. Due to its emergence, the efficiency and output of sanitary napkins production have been greatly improved, ensuring the adequacy of sanitary napkin supply. At the same time, this production line also has the characteristics of small size, high degree of automation, and simple operation, laying a solid foundation for the development of the sanitary napkin industry.
Development of sanitary napkins industry
With the development of the times, the sanitary napkin industry has undergone many changes, with the automation level of production lines constantly improving and the quality constantly improving. Today's sanitary napkins are no longer as simple as before, with diverse styles and materials, such as breathability, leak resistance, and antibacterial properties. In addition, influenced by environmental protection concepts, biodegradable sanitary napkins have begun to be popularized, better protecting the environment and human health
However, no matter how the sanitary napkin industry changes, sanitary napkins, as a necessity for women, always serve them and put a protective coat on their health. I believe that with the progress of technology and people's attention to health and the environment, the development of the sanitary napkin industry will be even better.
