160S High Speed Intelligent Paper Cup Making Machine

1. Machine Overview

The XL-160S is a high speed intelligent paper cup making machine designed for disposable beverage cup production.

The machine delivers a production speed of 120–160 cups per minute.

The product page mainly specifies a 5–16oz cup range and supports single PE, double PE and PLA coated paper.

2. Desktop Layout

The XL-160S uses a desktop machine layout.

The transmission components are positioned underneath the table, while the forming molds are positioned above the table.

According to the product page, this configuration simplifies daily cleaning, maintenance and mold replacement.

3. Intelligent PLC Control

The machine uses a 7-inch PLC HMI touch screen.

The control system supports:

• Multi-model presets
• Flexible parameter settings
• Speed adjustment
• Production counting
• Output display
• Fault alarm
• Start
• Stop
• Emergency stop

This provides an integrated interface for machine operation and production monitoring.

4. Smart PID Temperature Control

The XL-160S uses intelligent PID temperature control.

The operator can select the paper manufacturer, paper weight and single/double PE setting, after which the system automatically sets the corresponding target temperature.

The product page also states that machine speed can automatically adjust with temperature changes, while target temperature can be customized.

5. Automatic Spray Lubrication

The automatic spray lubrication system is designed to reduce maintenance frequency.

The machine also uses a longitudinal shaft drive structure and barrel cylindrical indexing mechanism to support overall machine stability.

6. Rotary-Disc Vacuum Paper Feeding

The rotary-disc vacuum paper-feeding unit uses vacuum suction to separate individual cup blanks.

The blanks are then fed to the forming station.

The system is designed to help avoid double-sheet feeding or missing-paper issues.

7. Bottom-Sealing Hot Press

The bottom-sealing hot-press unit uses high-temperature hot pressing to bond the cup bottom with the cup body.

The product page describes this process as helping prevent liquid leakage.

8. Finished Cup Collection

After forming, the finished cups are automatically stacked and discharged.

The collection system provides organized output for manual collection or connection with a subsequent packing process.

9. Cup Size and Paper Material

The product specification table lists:

• Cup mouth diameter: Φ50–90mm
• Cup bottom diameter: Φ45–65mm
• Cup height: 60–138mm
• Bottom depth: 5–12mm

The listed paper material is:

• Single PE coated paper
• Double PE coated paper
• PLA coated paper

Paper weight:

210–330g/m²

10. Production Capacity and Utilities

The main machine specifications include:

• Production capacity: 120–160 pcs/min
• Power: 3-phase 380V, 25KW
• Compressed air: 0.6–0.8MPa, 0.5m³/min
• Machine weight: 4000kg
• Packing size: 2800×1100×1800mm, without wooden case

11. Optional Visual Inspection

The machine can be equipped with an optional cup detection device.

The product page describes automatic defect detection for:

• Cup shape
• Cup interior
• Cup bottom

The optional system is designed to reject defective cups.

12. Application Scenarios

The XL-160S can be used in:

• Coffee shops
• Milk-tea stores
