In the production process of disposable men's and women's sanitary pants, microbial control is crucial and directly related to the sanitary quality of the product and the health and safety of the user.
First of all, microbial control of raw materials is the basis. For all kinds of raw materials that make up sanitary pants, such as non-woven fabrics and absorbent materials, strict control must be carried out at the source of procurement. Suppliers should provide microbial test reports for raw materials to ensure that their initial microbial content meets the standards. Before the raw materials are put into storage, they need to be sampled and advanced microbial detection techniques, such as plate counting method and fluorescence detection method, are used to accurately measure the number of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. For unqualified raw materials, they must be returned resolutely to prevent them from entering the production process. At the same time, the storage environment of raw materials should also be kept clean, dry, and well ventilated, and disinfected regularly to avoid microbial contamination of raw materials during storage.
Secondly, environmental control of the production workshop is the key link. The workshop should be designed and built in accordance with strict hygiene standards, with a good ventilation system and air purification equipment that can effectively filter dust particles and microorganisms in the air. For example, a high-efficiency air filter (HEPA) can filter out most bacteria and viruses. The workshop floor, walls, ceiling, etc. should be made of materials that are easy to clean and disinfect, and should be cleaned and disinfected regularly. Special disinfectants, such as chlorine-containing disinfectants and hydrogen peroxide disinfectants, can be used to fully disinfect the workshop environment. In addition, when production personnel enter the workshop, they must wear disinfected work clothes, masks, hats, shoe covers and other protective equipment, and use facilities such as air showers to remove dust and microorganisms on their bodies to prevent personnel from bringing external microorganisms into the workshop.
Furthermore, the cleaning and disinfection of production equipment cannot be ignored. During the production process, production equipment will be in direct contact with raw materials and semi-finished products, which are prone to breeding microorganisms. Therefore, detailed equipment cleaning and disinfection procedures should be formulated. During production breaks or after daily production, the equipment should be thoroughly cleaned to remove residual materials and dirt, and then disinfected using appropriate disinfection methods. For example, for high-temperature resistant equipment, steam disinfection can be used; for equipment that cannot withstand high temperatures, chemical disinfectants can be used for wiping or spray disinfection. At the same time, the equipment should be regularly tested for microorganisms to ensure that the number of microorganisms on the surface of the equipment is within a safe range.
Finally, microbial testing and quality monitoring of finished products are guarantees. After the production of sanitary pants is completed, strict microbial testing is required in accordance with relevant standards. The test items include total bacteria count, total fungus count, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and other pathogenic bacteria. Only products that pass the microbial testing can be put on the market for sale. In addition, a complete quality monitoring system is established to track and record the microbial control during the production process. Once the problem of excessive microorganisms is found, the cause can be traced in time and effective rectification measures can be taken to ensure that the microbial control of disposable men's and women's sanitary pants is always in good condition, providing consumers with safe and hygienic products.
