Technical Definition
AIHOFEN PLA degradable cup making machines are automatic thermoforming equipment based on plastic sheet heating and pressure forming principles, capable of mass-producing food-grade PLA degradable cups, bowls, and boxes with stable quality and high efficiency. As core equipment in the biodegradable packaging industry, it has become an indispensable technical support for large-scale production of eco-friendly packaging.
Main Categories
To meet diverse industry needs, our product line includes three mainstream series: SE500×750P Standard Cup Making Machine: Cost-effective basic series, suitable for small to medium-scale production of conventional cup types, featuring stable structure and easy maintenance; SE-73F Flip-Mold Cup Making Machine: High-speed high-precision series, ideal for mass production of high-quality cups, solving uneven wall thickness issues via flip-mold forming; SE-1211 High-Speed Continuous Production Line: Ultra-large capacity series, designed for million-level mass production, with split-type cooling to eliminate post-molding deformation.
Technical Principles
The core working principle of AIHOFEN cup making machines is based on thermoforming, where PLA sheets are heated to a plasticized state and then formed into desired shapes via pressure. The complete process includes: 1. Servo-controlled sheet feeding with automatic deviation correction to ensure stable material delivery; 2. Zoned heating using imported heating tiles for uniform sheet heating; 3. Pressure forming via positive pressure, negative pressure, or flip-mold technology to shape the sheet; 4. Precision punching and automatic stacking of finished products.
Core Innovation
Our flip-mold series adopts conjugate cam flip technology, allowing the lower mold to flip 75° for uniform sheet stress, eliminating uneven wall thickness. The SE-1211 line features a 3-5 meter long cooling system, fully cooling products to avoid deformation and adhesion, ensuring stable product dimensions.
