Working Process Of The Automatic Paper Cup Machine

The automatic paper cup machine streamlines production through the following steps:

  1. Paper Feeding: Printed or blank paper rolls are automatically fed into the machine.
  2. Side Sealing: The paper is curled into a cylindrical shape and sealed with heat.
  3. Bottom Cutting and Sealing: A separate paper roll is punched to form the bottom, then sealed to the cup body.
  4. Heating and Knurling: The cup bottom is heated to strengthen the seal.
  5. Rim Curling: The cup rim is curled to create a smooth edge for drinking.
  6. Automatic Ejection: Finished cups are ejected and stacked neatly.

This process ensures fast, hygienic, and consistent production, which is essential for large-volume manufacturers.
