Paper Plate Making Machine

Product Overview

The Jiuyi paper plate machine automates the bulk production of pressed paper containers. The system integrates mechanical feeding, precision die-cutting, edge-curling, and thermal forming to convert single or double PE-coated paperboards into rigid, stackable tableware. Engineered for 24/7 industrial conversion lines, the equipment features a 30mm thick Q235B welded steel chassis, industrial PLC automation control, and hydraulic or pneumatic pressing units.

Machine Types

Single-Station Hydraulic

Engineered for heavy-duty, deep-drawn plates, partitioned food trays, and high-GSM paperboards up to 1000 GSM using a dedicated oil cylinder drive.

Multi-Station Automatic

Features multi-row synchronous molds to multiply output per work cycle, optimized for mass manufacturing of standard 6-inch to 10-inch flat plates.

Pneumatic

Driven by compressed air actuation for rapid, low-maintenance production cycles on standard paper stocks ranging from 150 to 500 GSM.

Key Features

Closed-Loop PID Heating

Solid-state relay controllers maintain mold face temperatures within +/- 2 deg C to ensure reliable PE-coating sealing without paper scorch.

Pneumatic Indexing Feeding

Servo-driven mechanical pick-and-place arms or vacuum suction feeders position paper blanks precisely into the lower die, eliminating misfeeds.

Quick-Change Tooling

Die sets mount via standardized guide pins and quick-disconnect pneumatic fittings, reducing mold changeover downtime to under 25 minutes per station.

Automatic Scrap Ejection

Compressed air blast jets clear trimmed edges and completed plates sequentially into collection chutes to prevent station jams.

Stress-Relieved Welded Base

Main structural frames undergo high-temperature thermal annealing to eliminate internal residual stress and prevent bed warping under multi-ton loads.

Applications

Disposable Tableware

Bulk production of standard round plates, square cake trays, and compartmentalized food service trays.

Biodegradable Packaging

Processing bagasse pulp paperboards, unbleached kraft paper, and water-based dispersion-coated stock.

Industrial Food Processing:

Dedicated in-house converting lines for commercial catering suppliers requiring strict dimensional tolerances for automated meal-packing.

Customization

Mold Customization: Die sets engineered to exact CAD drawings or physical client samples for custom rim patterns, depth configurations, and divided layouts.

Electrical Power Adaptation: Control panels wired to regional industrial specifications (e.g., 380V/50Hz/3-Phase, 220V/60Hz/3-Phase, or 440V/60Hz).

Feeding Integration: Optional automated roll-to-sheet cutter attachments or stack-counting delivery conveyors.

Company Advantages

Direct-Factory Manufacturing: In-house machining facilities eliminate intermediary markups, providing direct technical oversight from raw material plate-cutting to final assembly.

In-House Tooling CNC Machining: Mold dies are fabricated on-site using CNC vertical milling centers to guarantee strict dimensional tolerance matching.

Transparent Engineering Data: Complete electrical schematics, hydraulic circuit diagrams, and PLC source logs provided with every machine.

Manufacturing & Quality Control

CNC Frame Processing

Structural plates are flame-cut from Q235B steel, thermally annealed, and finished on large gantry milling machines for parallel bed alignment.

Component Sourcing

Critical electrical and motion assemblies utilize Schneider switches, Siemens/Delta PLCs, and Airtac pneumatic solenoid valves.

Factory Run-Test

Every unit undergoes a mandatory 48-hour continuous dry-run and raw material test cycle prior to crating to verify temperature stability and output speed.

Installation & After-Sales Support

Documentation Package

Hard-copy and digital manuals covering operational parameters, troubleshooting trees, and spare parts catalog shipped with the unit.

Remote Engineering Assistance

Video diagnostic support available via engineers fluent in technical English.

Wear Parts Availability

Standard consumable components-including heating elements, proximity sensors, and springs-stocked in warehouse for immediate international courier dispatch.

FAQ

Q: What is the lead time for standard versus customized machines?

A: Standard stock machines ship within 15 working days. Custom mold configurations and voltage modifications require 25 to 35 working days.

Q: Can this machine process 100% biodegradable bagasse paper?

A: Yes, provided the material thickness and moisture content fall within the machine's thermal press parameters. Thicker bagasse sheets require our hydraulic models configured with higher tonnage heating dies.

Q: What power supply is required on-site?

A: Standard configuration requires a 3-phase industrial power supply. Specific voltage requirements must be confirmed during the initial quotation stage to match local facility wiring.

Q: How are replacement molds swapped out?

A: Operators loosen the retention socket-head cap screws, disconnect the quick-release thermocouple plugs, and slide out the tooling assembly using an alignment track.

Q: What container sizes can a single machine handle?

A: Each machine frame accepts a designated die size range. While different plate diameters and depths can be produced by changing the mold set, major changes in maximum diameter require distinct machine chassis models.
