Disposable Cup Machine
Disposable tableware production machines are generally in two types and production models
- The first and almost old type of disposable tableware production line with PS semi-forming system
This model of container production line includes only one main machine and the raw materials in this machine are melted and converted into sheets and rolls and then converted into disposable containers. This model of the machine has the ability to produce containers only from polystyrene (PS) and raw materials (glass or white but brittle containers)
- The second type of disposable tableware production line with thermoforming system
In this model, which is called a thermoforming machine, disposable containers are produced from ready-made rolls and sheets.
Ready-made plastic sheets and rolls enter the machine and after heating in the heat furnace of the press machine, containers are produced in the mold part under wind pressure. (In the previous model machine, which is called a semi-forming container production machine, unlike the thermoforming model, the raw materials enter the machine in the form of petrochemical granules and are converted into sheets and containers in the same machine)
Advantages and differences between semi-forming and thermoforming container production machine (new)
In the semi-forming machine, only PS polystyrene plastic containers can be produced, but in the thermoforming press, in addition to PS containers, PP polypropylene plastic containers can also be produced (PP containers are almost soft and do not break if the containers or glasses are crumpled. Which is currently used for water and tea is made of PP)
The production circulation of thermoforming presses is about 2.5 to 3 times higher than semi-forming presses
In the semi-forming machine, the raw materials are in the form of petrochemical granules, but in the thermoforming machine, the raw materials are in the form of rolls and sheets.

Circulation and production of different containers in PP thermoforming machine
- Production volume of 1 kg yogurt container is about 6000 to 8000 containers per hour
- Production volume of 200 cc cups of tea is about 25,000 to 30,000 cups per hour
- Production capacity of 300 or 400 cc juice glasses is about 14,000 to 16,000 pieces per hour
Required hall area
According to the dimensions of the press machine for the production of thermoforming containers, which is 7 meters long, 2 meters wide and 2.5 meters high, so the desired hall should be at least 12 to 13 meters long and at least 7 to 8 meters wide. However, it is better to consider between 150 and 200 meters for the semi-forming model dish production machine, considering the necessary space for the produced dishes and the raw materials next to the machine and the packing table of the hall. If we intend to export production containers or provide production containers to dairy and food industries, we need a health manufacturing license from the Food Supervision Office.
Of course, the accuracy and rigor of food industry products is not in this newcomer, and most of the purpose of monitoring and hygiene in the packaging and personal hygiene of the manpower of the collection. One of the requirements for obtaining this license is a health hall. Of course, according to the contents of the above hall, tiling 2 meters from the wall and concrete floor or mosaic is acceptable.
Power required to operate a disposable thermoforming utensil machine
To set up a container production machine for semi-forming system and its peripherals such as air compressor and plastic milling machine, 3-phase 100 amp power is required (quality and brand of parts used in making the machine have a great impact on the machine’s power consumption and main power. Some thermoforming devices on the market with a power consumption of 100 amps use more than 130 amps of power)
The power consumption of the thermoforming press along with the sheet production machine is about 200 amps
Number of labor force: 2-3 simple labor force and 1 skilled labor force
For each production unit, regardless of the number of machines, a manpower is needed as the operator and technician of the machine. For each unit and factory, one person is familiar with repair and technical work and has the power of fast learning.
Of course, there is no need for special education and expertise to operate and control the device, and being technical is more effective
Also, according to what kind of utensils are produced in the machine, for each machine, 2 to 3 people need simple and unskilled labor because the production volume of utensils is different from the type.
Thermoforming production line has the ability to produce containers with PS polystyrene and PP polypropylene raw materials, which are characterized by PP containers that are glass, white, soft and unbreakable.
PP material is cheaper than all plastic raw materials
Due to the fact that the raw materials for working with the thermoforming press must be purchased ready-made, so due to the fact that rolls and sheets are used in various industries, as a result, it has many manufacturers and there are no restrictions.
After the production of containers, sheet waste is also collected in factories that do not have a sheet production machine and sent to the factory that produces the roll at certain intervals, and then in that factory, the sheet waste is turned into sheets by mixing it with new raw materials. .
Of course, if the investor wants to buy a sheet production machine to produce the sheet he needs, he can buy the machine together with the thermoforming press machine from the very beginning, or after a while, he can buy the sheet production machine separately.
It is necessary to explain and note that among the manufacturers of the device in Iran, only 2 or 3 units have a license and exploitation license for industrial and mining structures, which Behsaz Polymer Industrial Group has been operating since 2000 under the exploitation license of the Industrial Organization.
And also, unfortunately, most advertisers on the Internet are intermediaries as manufacturers of disposable tableware and do not have any license from the Department of Industry and even choose the name of the company or brand to introduce their product is not registered in any office or organization.
