High-Efficiency Automatic Production

With a production speed of up to 35 cycles per minute, the machine supports continuous plastic cup manufacturing with less manual handling. This helps increase daily output, reduce labor requirements, and improve overall production efficiency.

Stable Hydraulic Forming

The hydraulic system provides consistent forming pressure during each cycle, helping produce cups with uniform shapes, clear contours, and stable dimensions. Reliable pressure control also reduces defects and improves batch consistency.

Large and Flexible Forming Capacity

Forming areas range from 660 × 300 mm to 800 × 550 mm, with a maximum forming height of up to 280 mm. This allows the machine to handle multi-cavity molds and produce different cups, bowls, lids, and plastic containers.

Uniform Heating and Reduced Material Waste

Heating power of up to 135 kW supports fast and even plastic sheet heating. Stable temperature distribution helps prevent incomplete forming, uneven stretching, and excessive scrap, improving both product quality and material utilization.

Heavy-Duty Design for Long-Term Operation

The robust machine structure provides stability during high-speed forming and cutting. Reduced vibration helps maintain processing accuracy, minimize mechanical wear, and support reliable performance during extended production runs.

Heating ：The process starts by heating plastic sheets to the required forming temperature. The heated sheet becomes flexible, allowing it to be shaped accurately during the forming process.

Cup Forming ：After heating, the softened plastic sheet is formed into cup shapes using a hydraulic forming system. Stable forming pressure helps achieve consistent shapes, accurate dimensions, and reliable product quality.

Cutting and Transfer ：After forming, the cups are separated through the cutting process and automatically transferred to the stacking station. Automated transfer reduces manual handling and improves production efficiency.

Stacking and Collection： The finished cups are automatically stacked for easier packaging and transportation. This continuous operation helps manufacturers maintain stable output for large-scale production.

This machine is suitable for producing a wide range of thermoformed plastic packaging products for the food, beverage, and takeaway industries. By changing the mold and production settings, manufacturers can produce different cups, containers, lids, and packaging items.
