A facial tissue cutting machine—also known as a tissue log saw—is essential for converting long tissue logs into retail-sized packs with clean, uniform edges. When evaluating the price of a tissue log saw, the first thing to understand is that there are two main categories of log saw machines, each designed for a different type of tissue product:
- Traditional facial tissue / box tissue log saw
- Bottom-pull (hanging-type pull-out) tissue log saw
These two machine types differ in cutting structure, feeding design, blade size, and synchronization with upstream folding machines. Because of these engineering differences, their price ranges are not the same, even if they look similar externally.
How Machine Speed and Capacity Affect the Cost
After product type, the biggest factor influencing price is the machine’s speed and production capacity. Tissue log saws generally come in:
Low- to mid-speed models
Suitable for small factories or new investors. More economical, with basic servo control and simplified feeding systems.
High-speed models
Designed for large-scale production lines. Equipped with:
- Advanced servo synchronization
- Precise belt feeding
- Auto-blade sharpening
- Higher-grade safety systems
These upgrades significantly increase both performance and price.
Additionally, lane configuration plays a major role. A single-lane facial tissue log saw is the entry-level standard, while multi-lane log saws (2–4 lanes) can handle multiple logs simultaneously, drastically improving output — and therefore costing more.
In general, the higher the speed and the more lanes a log saw has, the higher its price will be.
Typical Price Ranges on the Market
(Exact pricing varies by brand, speed, automation level, and region.)
- Facial tissue (box tissue) log saw:
~USD 10,000 – 15,000 depending on speed and configuration - Bottom-pull tissue log saw:
~USD 12,000 – 20,000 due to additional structural requirements and different cutting parameters
High-end European or Japanese models may exceed these ranges, while standard Chinese models remain more cost-effective.
Conclusion
When comparing tissue log saw prices, always begin by identifying which product you want to produce — facial tissue, box tissue or bottom-pull tissue — and then evaluate speed, lane number, automation level, and long-term capacity needs. These factors directly determine the cost, performance, and suitability of the machine for your production line.
