Less Waste, Better Care: Reducing Raw Material Waste in Hygiene Manufacturing
Every diaper, sanitary pad, and adult incontinence is designed to provide protection and comfort, especially for the most vulnerable—babies.
New mothers for example search the best brand with products that have good reputation and efficient for the baby’s needs.
And if just one product doesn’t perform as expected? That’s a lost customer.
Poorly distributed super absorbent polymers (SAP) can lead to leaks, discomfort, and even health concerns.
Traditional quality control methods, such as batch sampling and manual testing, are not sufficient to ensure optimal SAP usage across an entire production line.
And inefficient SAP distribution leads to material overuse, product defects, and unnecessary waste.
So, what to do? One of the solutions is to invest in Non-Destructive quality inspection systems.
This allows for cost reduction, more efficient production processes & improved quality that allows industrials to reduce prices and make their products more accessible!
In this article, we explain how.
The Challenge: SAP Waste in Hygiene Product Manufacturing
Inconsistent distribution of SAP can lead to significant problems:
- Overuse of SAP: Applying more SAP than necessary increases production costs.
- Underuse of SAP: Insufficient SAP results in lower product performance, leading to consumer dissatisfaction.
- Uneven SAP distribution: Poor placement can cause leakage, reduce product quality and increasing defect rates.
Without a precise, real-time monitoring system, manufacturers struggle to optimize material use, leading to both financial and environmental costs.
With increasing pressure to improve sustainability and reduce costs, manufacturers need a more reliable and efficient way to inspect 100% of their products without slowing down production.
Our Solution: Optimizing SAP Distribution with T-MONIT
TiHive’s T-MONIT leverages terahertz technology to inspect 100% of products directly on theproduction line, without damaging them. It provides instant data on material distribution & grammage, allowing manufacturers to adjust their processes in real time.
1. Real-Time Monitoring for Immediate Adjustments
Unlike traditional batch testing, which only checks a small fraction of products, T-MONIT continuously scans each product, detecting:
- SAP quantity per unit
- Variations in distribution
- Deviations from optimal material usage
With this real-time feedback, manufacturers can refine their product immediately, ensuring consistent product performance.
2. Reducing Waste and Cost Efficiency
By accurately controlling SAP distribution, T-MONIT helps manufacturers reduce unnecessary raw material consumption.
This leads to:
- Lower material costs
- Fewer defective products
- Fewer rejected batches
Additionally, eliminating SAP overuse also allows companies to meet sustainability goals while maintaining product efficiency.
3. Enhancing Product Quality and Consumer Trust
Inconsistent SAP distribution not only increases costs but also affects customer satisfaction.
Our solution helps our partners by ensuring:
- Uniform absorbency for improved leakage protection
- Compliance with industry regulations and safety standards
With consistent quality assurance, your brand can strengthen its reputation and consumer loyalty.
A Smart Investment for your lines
With the ability to optimize SAP usage without compromising quality, T-MONIT is a valuable tool for hygiene manufacturers.
Reducing SAP waste is essential for cost-effective and environmentally responsible hygiene product manufacturing.
