Disposable plastic cup production line

Disposable Plastic Cup Production Equipment

The production equipment consists of a thermoforming machine and a cup collecting machine.

Thermoforming Machine

  • Heats plastic sheets (PP, PS, PET) and forms them into cup shapes using vacuum or pressure.

  • The finished cups are then cut and separated for further processing.

Cup Collecting Machine

  • Automatically stacks and arranges the cups in an orderly manner.

  • Prepares them for packaging, ensuring efficiency and consistency.

This fully automated production line ensures high efficiency, precision, and minimal manual labor, making it an ideal solution for large-scale disposable plastic cup manufacturing.

Multi-functional plastic cup thermoforming machine

Main Technical Specifications

Features

  1. Mold Installation System

    • The mold installation mechanism adopts a column-guided positioning system, ensuring stability and balanced force distribution.

    • The working mechanism is based on the multi-support bar principle.

    • A hydraulic cylinder provides power for lifting and smoothly moving the mold up and down.

  2. Mold Lifting & Motion System

    • The mold lifting mechanism operates through the hydraulic system.

    • The operational sequence is as follows: lifting, forming, cutting, demolding, and mold return.

  3. Heating System

    • The heating oven is divided into an 8-row upper oven and a 7-row, 8-zone lower oven.

    • The heating system incorporates built-in ceramic far-infrared radiation components, ensuring high thermal efficiency, safety, and reliability.

  4. Material Transmission System

    • A frequency-converting motor controls material transmission, ensuring precise and stable movement.

    • The transmission chain track includes a cooling water system, providing high cooling efficiency and water-saving capabilities.

    • The internal lining of the transmission system is made of stainless steel.

    • The guide chain track is made of 38CrMoAlV mold steel, which is hardened through nitriding, resulting in high hardness and extended service life.

  5. Control System

    • The system is equipped with a PLC and a human-machine interface with a touch screen.

    • Its low center of gravity design reduces cup height, ensuring stable and smooth operation.

    • The interface provides user-friendly operation and an optimal observation height.

  6. Air Circuit Control

    • The air circuit control system uses an inlet valve, ensuring high working accuracy, long service life, quick response capability, and high working frequency, contributing to the machine's stable operation.

  7. Hydraulic System

    • The hydraulic system adopts high-efficiency imported components, ensuring stable operation and long service life.

  8. Stretching Mechanism

    • The stretching mechanism uses a pneumatic inlet cylinder, ensuring precise and efficient execution of the process.
