Working Process Of The Automatic Paper Cup Machine
The automatic paper cup machine streamlines production through the following steps:
- Paper Feeding: Printed or blank paper rolls are automatically fed into the machine.
- Side Sealing: The paper is curled into a cylindrical shape and sealed with heat.
- Bottom Cutting and Sealing: A separate paper roll is punched to form the bottom, then sealed to the cup body.
- Heating and Knurling: The cup bottom is heated to strengthen the seal.
- Rim Curling: The cup rim is curled to create a smooth edge for drinking.
- Automatic Ejection: Finished cups are ejected and stacked neatly.
This process ensures fast, hygienic, and consistent production, which is essential for large-volume manufacturers.
