Product Overview
The TQC-750 Hydraulic Plastic Thermoforming Cup Machine is a highly versatile industrial solution designed for mass production of disposable plastic products, including but not limited to:
Food & Beverage Containers: Single-use cups (hot/cold drink cups, yogurt cups), bowls, and lids for fast food, cafes, and takeout services.
Packaging Solutions: containers for salads, desserts, and ready-to-eat meals, as well as thin-walled trays for supermarket packaging.
Medical & Industrial Applications: Sterile specimen containers, disposable medical trays, and industrial component housings.
Key Advantages in Application Scenarios:
Material Adaptability: Works with PS, PP, PET, and PLA (biodegradable options), complying with FDA/EU food-contact standards.
High-Speed Production: Achieves 750-1,200 cycles/hour (varies by mold design), ideal for large OEM orders.
Customization: Interchangeable molds allow rapid switching between product types (e.g., from 8oz cups to 16oz bowls in <15 minutes).
Sustainability Integration: Compatible with recycled resins and bio-based plastics to meet eco-friendly demands.

Layout Drawing
Note: The above image is a layout diagram of the standard equipment set for customer reference. You may use this layout as a guide when arranging your mechanical equipment.
Structure & Design
Feeding device
Unwinder:
● Pneumatic Roll Lifting System, More Stable
● Able to work with double Roll, one station equipped with anti-rotation device, More Safe
● The optoelectronic switch can detect the sagged sheet to control the feeding motor on and off.
Material Conveying System
The sheet is smoothly guided into the conveyor chain through the feeding transition rollers, ensuring easy operation and more uniform heating across the sheet area.
Heating Device
Heating:
● Adopts Elstein ceramic heater,more durable,Higher heating efficiency.
● Sensor control against sheet sagging .
● Upper oven 3263x900mm, Lower oven 3023x900mm. Upper oven has 13 pcs of PID automatic temperature control areas. Lower oven has 12 pcs of PID automatic temperature control areas. Total 25pcs PID automatic temp control points. Keep temp control stable and Higher precision, Temp control error can only keep less than ±1℃.
Hydraulic Drive
Exclusively used to drive the lower mold upward to close with the upper mold for product forming.
Operation Screen
10 inch Siemens touch screen, multi-language Interface.
Forming Station
The forming Station adopts in-mold cutting,
Max mold size: 750*480mm,
Max forming depth: 180mm,
Max stroke: 260mm,
Forming by air pressure and Vacuum.
Servo Motor
Primarily used to drive the stretching head up and down for product forming.
Waste Recycling
Waste Sheet winding System is an essential component of thermoforming cup production lines:
Continuously collect and wind trim waste generated during the thermoforming process, Maintain clean production environment, enable efficient material recycling, ensure uninterrupted machine operation.
Robotic Arm
By adding a robotic arm, cups are automatically picked from the mold and placed onto the conveyor belt. This improves efficiency, reduces labor costs, and ensures more orderly product stacking.
Conveyor Belt
Facilitates manual product collection, ensuring both safety and efficiency.

Case Showcase
Saudi abc plastic group
Client issued some pain point about high energy consumption, inconsistent cup quality, frequent downtime. We implemented a servo-hydraulic upgrade for their thermoforming cup machine, featuring: servo-driven variable pump: replaced fixed-displacement pump with intelligent servo system,reduced energy use by 45%;
Closed-Loop Pressure control: Installed high response proportional valves+PID controller, Maintained pressure stability within±0.5bar during forming; Leak-proof redesign: upgraded to polymer seals and stainless steel fittings, added real-time oil temperature monitoring; Smart HMI Integration: Touchscreen interface with preset recipes for different cup sizes, automatic fault alerts. These solution reduced the engergy cost from 8200USD/month to 4500usd/month. Reduced the cup defect rate from 6.2% to 1.8%, Improved machine availability from 82% to 95%.
