High Speed Automatic Plastic Cup Thermoforming Machine for Disposable Packaging

Product Overview

The YK-TF750 Hydraulic Plastic Thermoforming Machine is engineered for high-volume production of plastic containers, trays, lids, and industrial packaging using thermoforming technology. With a generous forming area of 750mm x 400mm and a deep draw capacity of 150mm, it is ideal for manufacturing medium- to large-sized plastic products with high precision and efficiency.

Key Applications

• Food container packaging

• Disposable cup and lid production

• Industrial plastic tray manufacturing

• Medical and pharmaceutical packaging

• Cosmetic and hardware blister packaging

Machine Introduction 

1. Molding cutting system. The working platform adopts a column-guided positioning, which can play a role in stability and balancing force. The mold stretching uses servo stretching. Below the mold, the five-pointed lever principle is adopted. The thrust of the hydraulic cylinder allows the platform to rise and fall, and drives the mold to run up and down smoothly. The operation sequence is: rise - molding - cutting - fall - demolding.

2. Hydraulic drive system. The hydraulic drive has strong stability, providing sufficient working speed and stable impact pressure for the entire molding and cutting action.

3. Heating system. Divided into the upper furnace (9 zones, 10 rows) and the lower furnace (9 zones, 9 rows). The heating tiles use embedded ceramic far-infrared radiation components with high thermal effect and high safety. The electric furnace is embedded with vacuum insulation cotton, making the temperature distribution more concentrated and more energy-saving.

4. Conveyor system and lubrication system. The feeding part uses a variable-frequency motor to convey the sheets, improving the precision and stability of the conveying length. The guide chain tracks are made of mold steel (38crMulv), surface nitrided, with high working surface hardness and long service life. The electric lubricating oil pump is controlled by a computer to automatically inject lubricating oil for maintenance of the mechanical structure at a timed and quantitative rate, extending the service life of the machine.

How It Works

1. Material Feeding: Plastic sheets are fed automatically from the reel.

2. Heating: The sheet passes through an oven and is heated evenly to the forming temperature.

3. Forming: Using hydraulic pressure and vacuum, the heated sheet is shaped within the mold cavity.

4. Trimming: The formed product is cut using precision die-cutting.

5. Stacking and Collection: Finished parts are stacked and conveyed out for packing; waste materials are rewound for recycling.
