Overview
Recommended Products

Built on an 8-station open cam indexing architecture, ultrasonic side-seaming technology and full-process photoelectric sensing control, it achieves one-stop production of cup body forming and handle bonding for single/double PE coated paper substrates. The machine is designed with a focus on operational reliability, maintainability and process precision, delivering a cost-effective production solution for small and medium-sized paper packaging manufacturers. Below is a detailed specification covering its features, advantages, functional modules and application scenarios.

Features

1. 8-Station Open Cam Indexing Mechanism Replaces the conventional index gear box with a visible open cam dividing structure. It allows direct visual inspection, convenient lubrication maintenance and quick replacement of wearing parts such as bearings, effectively reducing maintenance difficulty and downtime under continuous production conditions.

2. Full-Process Photoelectric Sensing Control Deployed with 10 sets of photoelectric sensors covering all key production stations, the machine realizes closed-loop online monitoring. It triggers automatic shutdown and fault alarm in case of material shortage, poor sealing, position deviation or process abnormality, so as to minimize defective rate and raw material wastage.

3. Integrated Paper Handle Forming Unit Based on the standard cup forming system, an automatic handle processing module is integrated. It completes paper tape feeding, die-cutting and gluing in a continuous automated workflow, realizing in-line handle bonding without secondary offline processing.

4. High-Precision Gear Drive System The main transmission adopts high-quality gear pair drive, which has higher transmission efficiency and motion accuracy compared with chain and shaft drive. The single main turntable layout simplifies the transmission chain and improves the overall operation stability and mean time between failures.

5. PLC + HMI Numerical Control System The whole machine is controlled by a programmable logic controller with a human-machine interface touch screen, and is equipped with an encoder for closed-loop feedback. It realizes visual parameter setting, fault code tracing and intuitive operation. The bottom disc feeding is driven by a servo motor to ensure high alignment accuracy.

6. Centralized Automatic Lubrication System The automatic oil lubrication system delivers continuous lubrication to moving pairs including bearings, cam mechanisms and transmission shafts, reducing friction loss and operating noise, and extending the service life of core moving parts.

7. Direct-Feed Bottom Forming Process The bottom reel is directly punched and fed to the cup body station, eliminating intermediate transfer links. This process reduces material scrap and improves the coaxiality accuracy between the cup bottom and the cup body.

8. Automatic Cup Stacking & Counting Equipped with an integrated cup stacker/collector, it realizes automatic discharging, orderly stacking and quantitative counting of finished cups. A single operator can manage 2–3 sets of equipment, optimizing labor allocation.

Advantages

1. High Maintainability & Operational Stability

The open cam structure enables visual inspection and tool-free routine maintenance, greatly reducing the time and technical threshold for lubrication, inspection and wearing part replacement. The gear drive and single turntable design ensure long-term stable operation under continuous production conditions.

2. Controllable Forming Quality & Low Scrap Rate

Multi-station sensor detection with automatic fault stop, combined with servo-driven bottom feeding and direct punching process, effectively controls forming deviation, improves the pass rate of finished products and reduces raw material consumption.

3. Integrated Process & High Cost Efficiency

The integration of cup forming and handle bonding eliminates the capital investment in separate handle processing equipment. The automated discharging and collection system also reduces labor input in the post-production section, improving the overall return on investment.

4. Energy-Saving Operation & Low Lifecycle Cost

The working power is only 5.5kW, which has obvious energy efficiency advantages over similar models. The automatic lubrication system extends the service life of moving parts and lowers long-term operation and maintenance costs.

5. User-Friendly Digital Operation

The touch screen HMI with PLC control supports intuitive parameter adjustment and automatic fault diagnosis, which reduces the skill requirement for operators and shortens the training cycle.

6. Broad Process Compatibility

It is compatible with both single-side and double-side PE coated paper substrates, and supports quick mold change for 3–16oz cup specifications, adapting to diversified product demands and flexible market changes.

Functions

The TB08 integrates and automates all core processes of paper cup handle production:

1. Automatic Paper Feeding & Precise Positioning

Adopts a multi-step pre-printed cup fan feeding mechanism with an anti-back positioning device to realize accurate sheet alignment and stable feeding, ensuring consistent cup body forming without manual auxiliary positioning.

2. Ultrasonic Side Seaming & Forced Cooling

The cup body side seam is welded by ultrasonic technology to form a dense and leak-proof weld seam suitable for PE coated substrates. Cooling blowers are configured for the ultrasonic system and the formed cup body to guarantee welding stability and dimensional accuracy.

3. Cup Bottom Forming & Knurling

The bottom reel is fed by a servo motor; after being punched, the bottom disc is directly delivered to the cup body station, followed by pre-heating, pre-folding, main heating and bottom knurling. A circulating water cooling device is available for double PE coated paper to ensure reliable bottom sealing performance.

4. Top Curling Forming

With silicone oil lubrication station, it completes the top curling process to enhance the structural strength of the cup rim and optimize the hand feel during use.

5. Automatic Handle Processing & Bonding

The handle unit automatically completes paper tape feeding, die-cutting and gluing, and firmly bonds the handle to the cup body. It is also equipped with an automatic tape pulling mechanism for material shortage to ensure continuous handle feeding.

6. Automatic Discharging, Stacking & Counting

The robotic arm transfers the cup body between processing stations, and finished cups are automatically discharged, stacked and counted by the collector, realizing full automation at the output end.

7. Auxiliary Lubrication & Cleaning

The centralized automatic oil lubrication system continuously lubricates bearings, shafts, cams and other moving pairs; air guns are provided to clean paper scraps, dust and edge waste, maintaining clean operating conditions of the equipment.

Applications

Thanks to its professional handle cup forming capability, the TB08 is applicable to the following scenarios:

1. Chain Beverage & Coffee Retail

Paper cups with handles provide heat insulation and stable grip, suitable for hot beverage takeaway and dine-in services in chain tea shops and coffee stores, improving consumption experience and brand perception.

2. Catering Delivery & Group Dining

Handle-equipped paper cups are easy to hold and transport, suitable for hot drink and hot food packaging in takeaway delivery, fast food chains, corporate canteens and large-scale catering events.

3. Business & Conference Scenarios

Handle paper cups feature formal appearance and convenient use, suitable for office spaces, exhibitions, conferences and other business occasions, and support custom brand printing for promotional purposes.

4. General Beverage Packaging

It can also produce standard handleless paper cups to meet general beverage packaging demands such as drinking water and cold drinks, with multi-scenario adaptability.
