A Continuing Global Need
Worldwide, there remains a major need for reliable and affordable condoms. As a result, there is also a continuing demand for efficient, high-quality production lines for condom manufacturing.
A condom may appear to be a simple product, but its production requires a highly controlled process. The material is extremely thin while at the same time it must be strong, elastic, reliable and consistently reproducible. The finished product must comply with the applicable international standards and the quality and testing requirements of the intended market.
Dutch Dipping Technologies – Condom Production Technology
Dutch Dipping Technologies designs and manufactures high-tech dipping lines for condom production. Each installation can be developed around the required production capacity, product specifications, available factory space and desired level of automation.
High Production Capacity
An important advantage of the Dutch Dipping concept is our special chain and former suspension system. Multiple condom formers can be mounted on the chain, allowing very high hourly production capacities. Depending on the selected configuration and process, capacities of approximately 30,000 condoms per hour are possible.
A Unique Chain Concept – No Massive High-Level Machine Structure
Conventional dipping lines are often installed in large, high and heavy steel structures. This can place important parts of the production line at height, making inspection, operation, cleaning and maintenance more difficult.
Dutch Dipping uses a special chain and suspension system that allows the production line to be configured much more flexibly. Much of the line can be installed at ground-floor level, while the chain route can be adapted to the available factory space. The chain can travel to the left, to the right, upwards and downwards in a relatively simple supporting structure.
This reduces the need for an expensive, massive machine frame and creates a production line that remains accessible for inspection, cleaning and maintenance while making efficient use of the available building space.
Fully Automatic Production – 24 Hours a Day
The condom dipping line can be supplied as a fully automatic system designed for continuous 24-hour production. Thanks to the high level of automation, the line requires only limited operating personnel. Depending on the final configuration, normal line operation can be managed by two operators.
A Dipping Line Alone Does Not Make a Condom Factory
A dipping machine alone is not enough to manufacture a finished condom ready for the market. A professional condom factory requires a complete chain of preparation, production, quality-control, testing and packaging processes before and after dipping.
A complete production facility can include:
- Raw-material and latex preparation
- Mixing and compounding room
- Process and quality-control laboratory
- Condom dipping line
- Post-treatment and product handling
- Electronic and other required product testing
- Packaging machines
- Quality-control and laboratory testing
- Facilities and procedures required to manufacture in accordance with applicable standards
Complete Turnkey Condom Factory
Dutch Dipping Technologies can provide much more than the dipping line itself. We can develop a complete turnkey factory concept, from raw-material preparation and mixing through dipping, testing, quality control and final packaging.
The complete factory layout can also be designed. If required, Dutch Dipping can provide drawings and concepts for the building, production areas, technical utilities, laboratories and internal product and material flow.
Factory Design
Building a new dipping factory? We provide extensive advice, together with your architect, so the building fits the dipping process, not the other way around.
When a customer wants to build a new factory, Dutch Dipping Technologies can provide extensive advice. A dipping factory is more than a hall with machines in it: the latex handling, mixing, dipping, drying and packing departments all have to connect logically, and the building itself has to make that possible.
With our many drawings and designs from past years, the accumulated result of factory projects since 1946, we can give a clear impression of how an architect can design, layout and construct the factory. We assist in planning:
The result is a complete and efficient factory design, perfectly tailored to the dipping processes and future expansions.
Factory design advice is a natural part of our complete turnkey projects, from latex centrifuge plants to complete dipping factories, but we are equally happy to advise you and your architect at the planning stage of your own building project.
From Concept to Production
Whether you want to expand an existing condom production facility or establish a completely new factory, Dutch Dipping Technologies can work with you to develop a solution suited to the required capacity, available space and local conditions.
From latex preparation to the tested and packaged finished product.
