Structural Characteristics and Production Features of Plastic Cup Making Machines

Plastic cups produced by the cup making machine are plastic products designed for holding liquids or solid substances. These cups feature heat-resistant thickness, deformation-free hot water containment, vibrant color options, lightweight properties, and high impact resistance. Plastic cups are widely utilized in commercial settings including bars, offices, food service establishments, and catering events.

In order to produce high quality plastic cups, it is necessary to consider the structural characteristics and production features of plastic cup making machine.

Introduction of Cup Making Machine

As the name suggests, a cup making machine is a machine that makes cups. Cup making machines were originally designed to speed up the efficiency of cup production. The structure of the cup making machine is simple and consists of three main parts, Forming, Cutting and Stacking.

With the change and development of cups, the cup making machine is becoming more and more automated, and the servo cup making machine is cost-effective. The servo system operates with low noise emission, minimal heat generation, enhanced efficiency, superior precision, and advanced speed control. It is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly than the traditional cup making machine, which is favored by the market.

Features

1. Frame and design

• The machine features a stabilized welded frame constructed with 100mm×100mm standard square tubes; the mold is made of cast steel, and the upper mold is fixed by nuts, which is wear-resistant and easy to maintain.
• The mold opening and closing mechanism is driven by eccentric gear linkage with American KALK speed reducer, HRB bearing spindle and servo motor, which ensures smooth operation and efficient and precise power transmission.

2. Components and Automation

• Servo drive system: The feeding and stretching devices are controlled by Siemens servo, which improves the precision of feeding and consistency of stretching and molding.
• Pneumatic components: The main pneumatic components are selected from SMC brand of Japan with high reliability; the top cup action is accurately controlled by AirTAC cylinder from Taiwan to ensure stable demolding of the finished products.

3. Heating and Cooling

• The heating system adopts ceramic far-infrared heater and stainless steel upper and lower heating furnace, with good temperature uniformity, energy saving and high efficiency; the electric heating furnace is equipped with Taiwan Hiwin guide rail, supporting horizontal and vertical free movement, which is convenient for operation and adjustment.
• The track adopts fully closed structure, integrated cooling device, and manually adjustable sheet width to meet different specifications of production needs.

4. Lubrication and Filtration

• Equipped with full-automatic lubrication device to reduce mechanical wear and tear; air filtration adopts triple design with adjustable airflow for blowing cups to ensure clean production environment and reduce raw material pollution.

Troubleshooting

In production, the common faults of plastic cup making machine are Common malfunctions include: abnormal thermostat display, oil pump failure, drag chain misalignment, and cup ejection issues., the bottom of the cup is too soft, etc., encountered these problems, we should find out the reasons in a timely manner, exclude and solve. Only in this way can, play out the performance of plastic cup making machine, produce high quality plastic cups, get more benefits.
