Cup filling machine

Cup packaging machines are widely used as automated packaging equipment in industries such as food, beverage, and daily chemical. They are specifically designed to fill liquid, semi fluid, paste, or granular products into cup-shaped containers and complete subsequent steps such as sealing and coding.

1、 Equipment Introduction and Working Principle

Cup packaging machine is an automated production line that typically completes the entire process from empty cups to finished packaging.

Basic workflow:

1. Cup upEmpty cups are separated and fed into the conveying track of the equipment through a hoist or automatic feeding device.

2. benchmark againstBy using photoelectric sensors to detect, ensure that each cup is in the correct position for subsequent filling and sealing.

3. fillingThe product is precisely injected into the cup through the filling head. This is one of the core workstations.

4. Add auxiliary materials/cover(Optional workstation) If you need to add fruit grains, oats, small ingredients, etc., the equipment will add them at this workstation. If it is a cup type that requires a lid, it will be automatically capped.

5. heat sealingCover the cup mouth with a layer of composite film (aluminum-plastic film, plastic film) and seal it by heating the mold. This is the most common form of sealing.

6. Code printing/spray printingPrint production date, shelf life, batch number and other information on the sealing film or cup body.

7. Punching/FormingCut the sealing film connected together into the shape of a single cup to make it look beautiful.

8. dischargeThe finished cups that have completed all processes are transported out of the equipment and can be packed later.

2、 Main features and advantages

1. high efficiencyAutomated continuous production, with speeds ranging from tens to hundreds of cups per minute, greatly improving production capacity.

2. high precisionAdopting precision control systems such as servo motors and PLCs to ensure accurate filling capacity and smooth and tight sealing.

3. High hygiene standardsAll parts in contact with the product areSUS304 or 316 stainless steelManufacturing, compliant with GMP standards, easy to clean and disinfect.

4. flexibilityBy replacing the filling head, mold, and adjusting parameters, it is possible to adapt to cups of different capacities, shapes, and products with different characteristics.

5. Integration completedIntegrating cup filling, sealing, and coding, reducing manual intervention and minimizing pollution risks.

6. cost savingIn the long run, it saves a lot of labor and reduces material waste.
