The disposable pulp bedpan production line is a fully automatic system. It uses recycled fibers such as waste paper and paper scraps. The process includes pulping, forming, drying, and hot pressing to make eco-friendly disposable bedpans (Pulp Bedpan, Pulp Urinal).
Bedpans can hold 1–1.5 kg of waste and contain liquid for 4–6 hours without leaking or deforming. They are low-cost, hygienic, environmentally friendly, and can be reused or recycled.
This large-scale production line can produce up to 7,000 pieces per hour, suitable for large enterprises. Various molds are available, and custom molds can be made based on your size and shape requirements. For more information, contact Shuliy Company for a production plan.
Components of the Production Line
Pulping System
Waste paper, paper scraps, or wood pulp sheets are put into a hydraulic pulper. They are stirred, pulped, and screened to make a pulp slurry with 0.8–1.2% concentration.
Vacuum forming technology shapes the pulp into bedpans, urinals, or care trays. The suction time and thickness are automatically controlled to ensure uniform structure and proper strength.
Drying System
Wet molds are quickly dried by hot air circulation or metal drying lines. The system is efficient and energy-saving.
Dried products are hot-pressed to smooth the surface, ensure accurate size, and improve appearance and strength.
Automatic Stacking System
Products are automatically counted, stacked, and packaged for easy transport and storage.
Working Principle
The paper bedpan production line uses pulp molding technology. Waste paper or plant fibers are made into uniform pulp. Pulp is vacuum-formed on special molds, then dried with hot air and hot-pressed at high temperature. This creates stable, strong, eco-friendly, and biodegradable disposable bedpans.
The process includes pulping, forming, drying, and hot pressing. Vacuum suction and heat ensure fibers deposit evenly, dewater, and dry into a final product.
Two Core Principles
Vacuum Forming
Vacuum removes water from the pulp. Fibers are evenly deposited on the mold surface, forming a wet bedpan. The mold usually has a pulp-suction part and a transfer part.
Key Points:
- Vacuum pressure: –0.04 to –0.06 MPa, pulls fibers onto the mold
- Fine holes in the mold: ensure even fiber distribution and consistent thickness
Hot Air Drying
High-temperature pressing makes dried pulp flat, compact, smooth, and stronger, improving water resistance.
Key Points:
- Hot pressing temperature: 180–250 °C
- Pressure and time: adjusted according to product thickness

Types of Pulp Bedpan Production Lines
Based on automation level, production lines are mainly: Fully Automatic and Semi-Automatic.
Semi-Automatic Pulp Bedpan Production Line
Workflow
Pulping → Forming → Wet bedpan manually transferred → Drying → Hot pressing → Trimming → Packaging
Drying options: Brick kiln dryer or metal mesh belt dryer
Fully Automatic Pulp Bedpan Production Line
Workflow
Pulping → Forming → Automatic demolding → Drying → Hot pressing → Trimming → Automatic stacking & packaging
The entire process requires no manual handling. The line is controlled by a PLC system; operators only need to set parameters on the control panel.
How to Choose Between Semi-Automatic and Fully Automatic Production Lines
