Processes of paper cup forming
(1) Cup side-wall forming and sealing
There is a copper cup mold and copper heating block upside, the specification of cup mold is same as finished cups. The side-wall paper is feed one by one and curl into a roll on the copper cup mold, then the heating block lower on its overlap edge and heat-seal it together. Then the sealed cup walls are taken off from cup mold and transfer to the turntable 1. This turntable clockwise rotate to convey cup walls to the overlap place of turntable 1 & 2.
(2) Die-cutting and forming of cup bottom
At the same time, the paper roll at the back of machine is also continuously feed, punch circles and bent down their round edge by the cup bottom cutter system. The formed cup bottoms are clockwise conveyed by turntable 2 to the overlap position with Turntable 1.
(3) Transfer cup bottom into sealed side wall
At the overlap portion between Turntable 1 & 2, the cup bottoms are lifted from Turntable 2 to inner of cup walls by a shaft.
(4) Pre-heating of cup bottom
The cup walls with bottoms inside are continuously transferred by Turntable 1 to Turntable 3. At their overlap portion, the upside Turntable 3 lower and take cup walls & bottoms on its steel cup molds. After rising to its top position, the Turntable 3 clockwise orate to bring cup wall & paper to pre-heating mold. Then The turntable 3 lower again to make cup mold insert bottom pre-heating device and heat-seal cup bottoms to inner side of walls.
(5) Main heating and bottom edge folding
The turntable repeat rise, rotate and lower to move cups to Main heat & edge-folding mold. The bottom edges of cup walls are folded up to cover cup bottom edges. At the same time, its heater sealed them together.
(6) Knurling of inner side of cup bottom
The turntable repeat rise, rotate and lower to transfer cups to Knurling mold. The inside of bottom edge of cup walls is knurl onto strips to make the sealed portion of cup bottom stronger.
(7) Top edge curling
The turntable repeat rise, rotate and lower to transfer cups to Curling mold. The top edges of cups are curved into a roll.
(8) Feed out and collect of finished paper cups
The turntable repeat rise, rotate and lower to transfer cups to Turntable 1. The finished cups are collected and lapped over. Worker could take them off when the quantities achieve requirement.
