The new series delivers higher precision, lower operating costs, and full global compliance for food packaging production lines.

Tianjin, China – September 22, 2026 – Haofeng (Tianjin) Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a leading Chinese manufacturer of automated thermal forming equipment, today announced the launch of its upgraded disposable cup making machine series, including standard and flip-mold models. The new series is designed to address core pain points for global packaging manufacturers, such as uneven wall thickness of products, inaccurate sheet feeding, and high tooling replacement costs. Equipped with high-precision servo systems, multi-zone heating, and compliant safety features, the series supports production of food-grade cups, bowls, and boxes compatible with PP, PET, PS, and PLA materials. The company aims to expand its global market footprint with the new line, which is now available for pre-order worldwide, with mass production and global shipping scheduled to start by the end of September 2026.

The upgraded series features two core model lines to meet diverse production needs. The standard SE series cup making machines use a fixed upper and lower mold structure with positive pressure forming and vertical punching, offering a cost-effective solution for small to mid-sized production lines. The flip-mold SE-F series adopts a conjugate cam flip technology with a 75-degree mold rotation, ensuring even material distribution across the product, eliminating common issues like overly thick cup bottoms or thin cup walls. The flip-mold models can reach a maximum speed of 30 cycles per minute, with automatic stacking and counting functions to reduce manual labor.

All models are equipped with servo-driven sheet feeding systems with automatic deviation correction and tension control, ensuring consistent feeding accuracy. The proprietary fixed-blade cutting technology of the company eliminates the need for adjustable blades, reducing tooling costs for customers producing products with strict edge uniformity requirements, such as ice cream trays. The multi-zone independent heating system uses imported heating elements, ensuring even temperature distribution across the sheet for consistent forming quality.

To meet global market access requirements, all cup making machine models hold CE certification compliant with EU Machinery Directive and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive. The company also holds full import and export qualifications, including foreign trade operator registration and customs import and export consignee filing. Its production processes are certified under both the ISO9001 quality management system and the military standard quality management system, ensuring consistent product quality across all production batches.

The new cup making machine series is available for pre-order globally via the official website of the company, with mass production scheduled to begin by the end of September 2026. In addition to standard models, the company offers customized design services for specific production needs, including tailored cutting and folding solutions for special packaging formats. The company previously developed a custom folding solution for Qingdao Beili Plastic Co., Ltd. to produce dual-compartment cat food boxes with clean, easy-to-break fold lines, addressing a long-standing industry pain point.

“The launch of this upgraded series builds on our 30 years of expertise in automated thermal forming equipment R&D, dating back to our founding in 1995,” said Wu Ruxiong, General Manager of Haofeng (Tianjin) Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd. “We led the drafting of the national standard of China for automated thermal forming machines in 2025, and that industry expertise is embedded in every model we produce. Our goal is to provide global packaging manufacturers with reliable, cost-effective equipment that meets the highest quality standards.”
