- Absorbent capacity: 600–3,500 ml/m²
- Roll size: length 400–1,500 m; width 45–400 mm; diameter up to 1,200 mm

- Slit width and cut length matched to your packing machine and tray size
- Versions for meat, seafood, fruit and vegetable, and general-purpose lines
On an automated tray-packing line, every sheet-change stop is lost output — the machine stops, the operator resets, and throughput drops. Roll-form absorbent pads remove that break: the pad is slit and placed continuously from the roll, at machine speed, with no single-sheet handling in between. For processors packing chilled meat, seafood or produce, Bofeng New Materials supplies food-grade absorbent rolls engineered for this kind of continuous feed, with cores that still take up blood, juices and condensation the moment they appear.
Where Roll Absorbent Pads Are Used
Chosen wherever packing runs fast enough that single-sheet placement becomes the bottleneck:
- Meat and poultry lines — chilled cuts and tray-packed products at high output.
- Seafood processing — fish fillets, shrimp and other tray-packed product on automated systems.
- Central kitchens and pre-cut produce facilities — salads, cut vegetables and ready-to-eat packs.
- Fresh produce repacking — standardised portions for retail distribution.
Key Features
Roll supply that keeps the line moving
Rolls are supplied in standard widths and lengths, so slitting and placement run continuously without sheet-change stops. Flat rolls with even tension and clean edges convey smoothly, position precisely and cut quickly on high-speed machines, which shortens changeover downtime.
Consistent absorption and locking
The core keeps the polymer absorbent resin and wood-pulp composite structure, so it absorbs blood, juices and condensation quickly even in roll form. Liquid is locked in and gelled inside the core, resisting backflow when stacked packs are under pressure.
One roll family across meat, seafood and produce
Line-specific versions are available — meat rolls optimised for blood, seafood rolls for low-temperature resistance and mucus absorption, fruit and vegetable rolls for condensation, and a general-purpose economy roll.
Food-contact safety and running stability
All materials comply with food-contact material requirements, and the rolls hold their shape without deforming or delaminating in storage and transit, so they run reliably on the machine.
Technical Specifications

Slit width and cut length are set to your packing machine and tray size. Versions are available for meat, seafood, fruit and vegetable, and general-purpose lines.
Every roll in this family shares the same absorbent core; what changes is how it is slit and cut for your line. Typical starting points:
| Line & product | Roll format | Slit width & cut length | Why roll supply |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meat and poultry lines — chilled cuts and tray packs at high output | Roll, machine-fed | Slit to your packing machine | Keeps a fast line fed without stopping to lay single sheets |
| Seafood processing — fish fillets and shrimp on automated systems | Roll, machine-fed | Cut length set to your tray | Takes up drip before it pools under the product |
| Central kitchens and pre-cut produce — salads, cut vegetables, ready-to-eat packs | Roll, machine-fed | Slit width matched to your line | One roll family covers several products on the same site |
| Fresh produce repacking — standardised retail portions | Roll, machine-fed | Cut to a repeatable portion length | Consistent piece size for repeatable retail packs |
How to Select and Order
- Tell us your product type — meat, seafood, fruit or vegetable, or general purpose.
- Confirm your machine type, the slit width it needs and your line-speed target; we recommend a starting roll specification.
- Supply is on rolls; MOQ and lead time depend on width, length and volume. Sample rolls can be requested for a machine trial before you commit.
- EU food-contact packs. Confirm the food-contact basis and the recyclability grade of every layer against the destination market rules — tell us the market and the pack construction and we will confirm the documents you need. Compliance documentation is provided offline on request; we do not publish certificate numbers online.
FAQ
Are roll-form pads compatible with our existing packing machines?
In most cases yes. Tell us your machine type, required slit width, cut length and tray size, and we will match a roll specification to them.
Are they safe for direct food contact?
Yes. They are made from food-grade materials that meet food-contact requirements. Ask us for documentation for your market's compliance review.
Do meat, seafood and produce need different rolls?
We offer separate versions — meat rolls are tuned for blood, seafood rolls for cold-chain and mucus, and fruit and vegetable rolls for condensation. State your product and we will supply the right type.
Can we test the rolls on our line before ordering?
Yes. Request sample rolls for a machine trial and share your line width and speed; we will recommend a starting specification.
