FAQ

Questions Realated to Paper Bowl

We need to apply a water-based barrier instead of PE coating. Is your machine compatible with this technology?

Yes, we are at the forefront of sustainable technology. Our machines can be configured with integrated drying tunnels or are compatible with pre-treated, water-based barrier board. We can guide you through the process of adopting this next-generation, recyclable solution.

Beyond the machine, what support do you offer for sourcing the right paperboard for sturdy bowls?

We partner with you beyond the sale. We provide technical specifications and can recommend reputable suppliers for paperboard that meets the grammage and stiffness requirements for a high-quality bowl, ensuring your entire production chain is optimized.

How can we reduce paper waste when starting a new paper bowl production line?

Waste reduction starts with precision. Our machines are equipped with optimized blank nesting software and a high-precision cutting system that maximizes the number of bowls cut from each paper sheet. This directly lowers your raw material cost per bowl from day one.

For a startup, what is a realistic production output we can expect from an entry-level paper bowl machine?

Our entry-level automatic machines are capable of producing 40-60 bowls per minute, which is a highly viable output for supplying local restaurants, food trucks, and specialty retailers. This provides a solid foundation for growth without a massive initial investment.

How quickly can we switch between producing small dessert bowls and large meal-sized bowls?

Maximizing your production flexibility is key. With our interchangeable bowl forming mold system, changeover between standard sizes can be achieved in under 20 minutes, allowing you to fulfill a diverse range of customer orders without sacrificing a full day to reconfiguration.

What is the biggest challenge in producing leak-proof paper bowls, and how is it solved?

The challenge is ensuring a complete, bubble-free seal at the critical bottom seam where the sidewall meets the base. Our machines employ a combination of precise glue application and a patented bottom-pressing technology that applies sustained, even pressure to create a hermetic seal that stands up to liquid contents.

We are targeting the biodegradable market. Can your machines reliably handle PLA-coated and other compostable materials for bowls?

Absolutely. Compostable materials like PLA can be sensitive to heat. Our machines feature precise, zoned temperature control for the bottom and sidewall sealing, which is critical for achieving a strong seal without burning or weakening the material. We provide the proven parameters for success.

How does producing a paper bowl differ from a paper cup in terms of machine requirements?

The primary difference is the deeper draw and more complex geometry. This demands a machine with greater forming power and precision. Our bowl-making machines are specifically designed with reinforced forming stations and sophisticated control systems to handle these challenges, delivering superior structural integrity.

We want to produce bowls with high-sided walls and a wide flange for easy lidding. How does the machine ensure consistent forming for this complex structure?

Forming a tall, stable bowl with a perfect flange is a hallmark of advanced engineering. Our machines utilize multi-stage, servo-controlled forming processes that gradually shape the paper blank under optimal pressure, preventing wrinkles and ensuring a perfectly level rim for reliable sealing every time.

What are the key market opportunities for paper bowls beyond just soups and noodles?

The market is rapidly expanding into fresh salads, grain bowls, ice cream sundaes, and even ready-meal kits. Our paper bowl machines offer the versatility in size and depth to produce shallow, wide bowls for salads as well as deep, sturdy bowls for hearty meals, allowing you to tap into multiple high-growth food trends.
