Working Process of Cup Carrier Making Machine
Pulping making system:
The paper-plastic cup carrier production line uses various types of waste paper, newspapers, magazines, corrugated cartons, etc., as raw materials. It is broken into fibrous slurry by injecting water into the hydraulic pulper. The broken slurry is vibrated to remove impurities and the sand is loosened and decomposed. The pulp, after impurity removal, enters the refiner for beating and refining. At this stage, additives and color pigments, etc., are added according to the customer’s needs, stirred evenly, and a slurry of appropriate concentration is prepared. This slurry is then transported to the slurry supply tank and awaits use by the molding machine in the next step. This step of the pulp molding pulping system is crucial to the formation and quality of cup trays.
Forming system: The forming system is a key process in the production of pulp molded cup trays. It plays a decisive role in the quality, breakage rate, production energy consumption, and production efficiency of paper-plasticcup trays. Below, we will use the HGHY Rotary Cup Carrier Machine, which is extremely popular in the industry, as an example to explain:
The forming machine has various specifications such as 4 faces, 6 faces, 8 faces, and 12 faces, and is equipped with customized egg tray molds (egg cartons, fruit trays, cup holders, etc. molds can be replaced). It mainly operates using vacuum suction filtration technology. The prepared slurry in the slurry supply tank is transported to the molding machine. At this point, the molding machine starts to work. Through vacuum suction, the fibers in the pulp are evenly deposited on the surface of the forming die, and then extruded through the forming die and the transfer die to form a wet embryo of an egg tray. A large amount of moisture will be removed during vacuum suction, and the forming cycle generally ranges from 3 to 7 seconds. At this stage, the wet embryo has no hardness, but the basic prototype of the egg tray has been formed.
Drying system:
After the Carrier are formed, the wet Cup Carrier embryos are transferred to a conveyor belt using a transfer mold. Sufficient hot air is then blown evenly across the surface of the pulp-molded products to remove the evaporated water. Once dried, the products proceed to the automatic stacking and shrink packaging process.
Hotpress system:
Online Hotpress: The wet, molded cartons are automatically conveyed to the hotpress section.
Heating and Pressing: The hotpress machine applies heat and pressure simultaneously. Heated molds or plates ensure the cartons are dried quickly while maintaining their shape. The pressing action ensures the cartons have the right thickness and strength.
Continuous Operation: Unlike batch processing, an online hotpress system operates continuously, allowing the production line to keep moving without interruption.
Unique Features of Cup Carrier Making Machine
Precious: The drum of the rotary forming machine is manufactured as a single unit, ensuring seamless processing. Made entirely of stainless steel, it undergoes CNC processing to minimize welding errors, resulting in higher product quality and greater precision in assembly and transfer. This integrated approach also facilitates easier alignment between the forming mold and the transfer mold, saving valuable time.
Reliable: Refined for smoother operation and enhanced user experience, our design combines mechanical power with a human touch. Featuring a single motor for both the forming machine and drying line, our system ensures reliable performance and effortless operation. With minimized downtime and maintenance requirements, it guarantees uninterrupted productivity. Additionally, the drying line boasts a spacious, easy-access door for added convenience.
Strong & Durable: The mold platen is crafted through full-piece casting, ensuring superior strength, extended lifespan, and optimal performance.
Saving cost: Leveraging recycled heat from the dryer to preheat products can effectively minimize deformation in the final product. Additionally, employing this recycled heat for preheating within the drying line not only conserves energy but also enhances operational efficiency.
