Ancillary Equipment for Paper Cup, Bowl and Lid Production Lines

Yes, all models strictly comply with international standards, ensuring compliance with the production requirements of global markets:

• Safety standards: Pass CE (EU), UL (USA), ISO 12100 (machinery safety) certifications. All moving parts (e.g., conveyor belts, gears) are equipped with safety guards; emergency stop buttons are installed at 2-3 positions on each equipment (easy to reach in case of danger).
• Food-grade standards: For equipments that come into contact with cups (e.g., inspection machine’s conveying rollers, stacking machine’s cup holders), the materials are food-grade stainless steel (304) or FDA-approved plastics — no harmful substances (like BPA) will migrate to the cups.
• Quality management: The production process of the auxiliary equipments complies with ISO 9001 standards, and each equipment undergoes a 72-hour continuous operation test before delivery (ensuring stable performance).

DISCOVERY provides targeted selection suggestions based on your daily cup output and product type, avoiding "over-purchase" or "under-matching":

• Small-scale production (≤100,000 cups/day): It is recommended to choose 2-3 core equipments — automatic paper roll feeding machine (reduces manual labor) + cup counting & stacking machine (improves packing efficiency).
• Medium-scale production (100,000-500,000 cups/day): It is recommended to match a "semi-automated set" — feeding machine + automatic inspection machine + stacking machine (ensures quality while improving efficiency).
• Large-scale production (>500,000 cups/day): It is recommended to choose the "full-automated line" — feeding machine + waste recycling machine + inspection machine + drying machine + stacking machine (realizes unmanned operation from material to finished product).

Before purchasing, you can provide your production scale and product specifications (cup size, material), and our team will send a free customized selection plan within 1 working day.

The installation requirements of the DISCOVERY Paper Cup Making Ancillary Equipments are simple, and no special factory transformation is needed:

• Space requirement: Most single auxiliary equipments have a compact footprint — e.g., the automatic inspection machine is 1.8m (length) × 0.8m (width) × 1.5m (height); the paper roll feeding machine is 2.0m × 1.0m × 1.8m.
• Power & air supply:
  1. Power supply: 220V/380V (50/60Hz, customizable for different regions); the maximum power of a single equipment is ≤3kW (no need for dedicated high-voltage lines).
  2. Compressed air: Only the inspection machine and stacking machine need compressed air (0.5-0.7MPa, flow rate ≥0.1m³/min) — compatible with most factory air compressors.
• Installation support: DISCOVERY provides a detailed English installation manual and video guide; if you need it, we can also arrange a remote installation verification (free of charge) to ensure correct docking with the main machine.

DISCOVERY provides comprehensive after-sales support to ensure the stable operation of the Paper Cup Making Ancillary Equipments:

• Warranty period: 12 months for the entire machine (including core components like sensors, motors, and control panels); 6 months for 易损 parts (e.g., conveyor belts, detection probes).
• Technical support: 24/7 online consultation via WhatsApp/email (response within 1 hour); for complex faults, remote debugging via video call (supported by English-speaking engineers).
• On-site service: If remote debugging fails, DISCOVERY can arrange on-site maintenance (available in 30+ countries, including the USA, Germany, India, and Brazil) — the service fee is waived during the warranty period, and only travel expenses are charged after the warranty.
• Spare parts supply: Common spare parts are stocked in 6 global warehouses, ensuring delivery within 3-5 working days.

Yes, customization is supported for most products in the DISCOVERY Paper Cup Making Ancillary Equipments range to match your unique production scenarios:

• Size customization: For example, if you produce extra-large cups (500ml-1L) or mini cups (30ml-50ml), the inspection machine’s detection range and the stacking machine’s cup holder size can be adjusted.
• Function customization: For example, adding a "UV sterilization module" to the cup conveying line (for food-grade cup production), or adding a "data recording function" to the inspection machine (automatically generating daily/weekly quality reports).
• Integration customization: If you need to connect multiple auxiliary equipments (e.g., feeding machine → main machine → inspection machine → stacking machine) into a fully automated line, DISCOVERY can provide a customized control system to realize unified operation and data monitoring.

The customization lead time is usually 2-3 weeks, and no extra design fee is charged for standard customization needs.

Yes, all DISCOVERY Paper Cup Making Ancillary Equipments integrate energy-saving and environmental protection features to meet the global "sustainable production" trend:

• Energy-saving design: The core components (such as motors of feeding machines and fans of drying machines) use IE3-level high-efficiency motors, which reduce energy consumption by 15%-20% compared with ordinary motors; the drying machine also has an intelligent temperature control function (automatically adjusts temperature according to cup material, avoiding energy waste).
• Environmental protection design: The waste paper recycling machine can crush leftover paper into recyclable paper pulp (directly sold to paper mills) or reprocessed into small paper pads; all plastic parts of the equipments use recyclable PP materials (complying with EU RoHS standards).

Absolutely—reducing labor dependence is a key design goal of the DISCOVERY Paper Cup Making Ancillary Equipments, and the specific labor-saving effects are reflected in multiple links:

• Feeding link: The automatic paper roll feeding machine replaces 1-2 manual workers (no need to manually lift and load 50-100kg paper rolls);
• Inspection link: The automatic inspection machine replaces 3-4 manual inspectors (avoids eye fatigue and missed inspections caused by long-term work);
• Packing link: The cup counting & stacking machine replaces 1 manual sorter (automatically completes counting, stacking, and conveying to the packing table).

Taking a medium-sized factory with a daily output of 500,000 cups as an example, the full set of auxiliary equipments can reduce 5-7 labor positions, saving about $3,000-$5,000 in monthly labor costs.

The automatic inspection machine is a core product in the range, focusing on solving the problem of "high manual inspection error rate and low efficiency":

1. Multi-dimensional detection: It can simultaneously detect 5 key quality indicators—cup body leakage (using air pressure testing), rim burrs (using optical sensors), wall thickness uniformity (using laser scanning), printing position deviation (using image comparison), and cup height accuracy (using mechanical measuring heads).
2. High precision & efficiency: The detection accuracy is ≤0.1mm, and the speed can reach 80-120 cups per minute (equivalent to the efficiency of 3-4 manual inspectors).
3. Real-time linkage: When a defective cup is detected, it will automatically push the cup to the waste bin, and synchronously send a signal to the main cup-making machine (if connected) to remind it to adjust parameters (e.g., if multiple leakage cups appear, it will prompt to check the bonding temperature).
