Modern fully automatic coffee cup making machine's biggest production advantage is to set up the whole process of paper cup forming, bonding, curling and so on in one whole body, do not need the equipment segmentation or artificial assistant transfer. From the scalloped paper paper cup to finished coffee cups, the whole process takes place in one breath. Many people are very confused, how to carry on the fine processing to a flat coated paper through mechanical equipment, completes the roll forming, sealing adhesive, cup mouth curl and so on multiple fine processes, the mass production uniform, the leakage, the distortion free finished products. In fact, the core of integrated production is the coordinated cooperation of multi-station linkage structure, thermostatic pressure system and progressive winding process. This paper introduces the whole working principle of integrated production of coffee cup molding machine in detail.
The first step of integrated coffee cups production is automatic precision molding, which is also the basis of ensuring the regularity of the cup. The device is equipped with a servo automatic paper feeding mechanism and precise positioning system, which can automatically grab the scalloped original paper, correct the paper position by correction device, eliminate offset, offset, dislocation and so on. Unlike manual random rolling, the device relies on a fixed curved die and an even propulsion structure to flatten the scalloped paper smoothly into a uniform cylindrical cup according to standard curvature. The whole process adopts a tension-free forming technology, does not pull the paper film surface, effectively avoids the paper cup body wrinkle, the curvature is not uniform, the deformation and so on, guarantees each coffee cup body round and full, the pattern specification, lays the good foundation for subsequent bonding and curling technology.
After the molding, the equipment and automatic hot press bonding process seamlessly, completely solved the paper cup leakage problem, is the core key of integrated production. Coffee mugs are usually coated with food-grade PE paper, and the equipment is equipped with a thermostatic intelligent thermopress system, which can precisely control the bonding temperature and pressure according to the characteristics of the coating material. After the cup body rolls and the interface is aligned, the special hot press die adheres to the joint position immediately. The coating layer on the interface is moderately melted and tightly adhered to at a constant high temperature, then sealed and bonded by pressure stabilization and compaction. The whole bonding process is accurate and controllable, the temperature is not too high, it does not burn paper cup and waterproof coating, nor because the temperature is low, resulting in weak adhesion or late leakage. Glue after the cup seam is smooth, strong, extremely strong sealing, perfect for the storage of hot coffee and hot tea drinks.
After the bonding molding is completed, the equipment automatically enters the rolling process and completes the finishing molding of the coffee cup. It's also a key process for distinguishing between regular paper cups and high-end coffee cups. The curling edge of the paper cup directly determines the feel, hardness and safety of the paper cup. The coffee cup is made by spiral curling process, which is different from the traditional rough curling method. The device adopts a high precision roller die, so that the paper around the edge of the cup rolls evenly, slowly and compacts into a double inner layer, so that the cup shape gradually forms and stabilizes. This integrated curling method does not result in paper breakage, uneven edge width, burr, or crumbling edges. The formed cup mouth are thick, firm and smooth, with a delicate texture and no cutting sensation. At the same time, it greatly improves the overall compressive strength of the cup, making it difficult for soft deformation to occur when serving hot drinks.
Based on the multi-station cam coupling system, the three processes are seamlessly connected and integrated. The whole equipment adopts an integrated mechanical transmission structure, feed molding, hot press bonding, cup rolling, disassembly and outlet table running in sync, uniform rhythm, zero delay, continuous process connection. The equipment adopts a servo control system, unifies the operation speed and process rhythm, the precise coordination between each module, avoids the process disconnection, the semi-finished product to remain, and realizes the automatic closed-loop production from raw material to finished products. The whole process does not require manual transfer or secondary processing, which greatly improves production efficiency and precision of the finished product.
The whole integrated production process also has the advantages of high stability and standardization. Equipment parameters can be locked accurately, and in mass production, the curvature, bonding strength and roll size of each paper cup are exactly the same, eliminating the error caused by manual processing. The paper cup coating structure is protected to the maximum extent by the combination of tensionless molding, thermostatic bonding and feeding port, and the core waterproofing, leak proof and high temperature resistance of the finished product are guaranteed. Compared with segmented processing equipment, the yield rate is much higher.
In summary, coffee cup production equipment depends on the precise precise forming structure, thermo-pressure bonding system, progressive curling process, multi-work station linkage control system, perfect paper cup forming, bonding, fully automatic curling production. The process is consistent, efficient and accurate, ensuring the appearance and quality of coffee cups is clean and beautiful, as well as the sealing, leak proof and durable. Is the modern coffee coffee paper cups standardization, large-scale production of the core technical support.
