When your production line needs to perform post-process collective packaging for products such as combined milk tea cups, pre-made cup yogurt, and bottled beverages, are you facing the dilemma of “low efficiency in manual grouping, non-environmentally friendly packaging materials, and time-consuming changeover between multiple specifications”? In the post-process collective packaging stage, the stability, material environmental friendliness, and specification adaptability of packaging directly affect product transportation safety and terminal display effects. However, traditional manual wrapping or general-purpose equipment often struggle to meet complex packaging needs such as combined cups and mixed bottle-cup sets, becoming a bottleneck restricting production continuity.
In particular, the grouping and positioning of combined cup products and the collective fixing of irregularly shaped bottles/cups require high equipment flexibility and precision. Traditional equipment is prone to problems like package scattering and product damage, while non-environmentally friendly packaging materials may also damage brand image.
Industry Pain Points: Typical Obstacles in Collective Packaging of Cup/Bottle Products
In the post-process collective packaging of combined cup beverages, pre-made cup foods, and bottled drinks, do these pain points frequently trouble your production line?
• High Reliance on Manual Labor: Product grouping, paperboard positioning, and folding wrapping rely on manual operations, with an output of less than 600 sets per hour. Fatigue easily leads to uneven grouping and loose wrapping, increasing the risk of package scattering during transportation;
• Poor Specification Adaptability: Facing different cup types (e.g., 90ml yogurt cups, 300ml milk tea cups), bottle types (irregular bottles, round bottles), and collective specifications (2-cup sets, 4-cup sets, 6-bottle sets), traditional equipment requires mold or mechanical part replacement, taking over 1 hour for changeover and failing to respond to multi-specification orders;
• Non-Environmentally Friendly Packaging Materials: Using non-eco-friendly materials such as plastic films, which do not align with the green packaging trend in the food industry, may face policy restrictions, and poor printing effects reduce terminal display appeal;
• High Product Damage Rate: Rigid conveying and grouping mechanisms easily cause cup deformation, bottle cap falling off, and especially breakage at the connection of combined cup products, with a defect rate exceeding 5%;
• Complex Operation and Maintenance: Equipment lacks intelligent control, parameter adjustment relies on experience, and parts wear quickly, leading to frequent maintenance and affecting production stability.
Amplified Consequences: Chain Losses from Collective Packaging Shortcomings
If these problems are not resolved promptly, seemingly localized packaging defects will trigger multiple losses and weaken enterprise competitiveness:
• Rising Costs: Superimposed labor costs, product damage losses, and procurement costs of non-eco-friendly materials result in a per-set packaging cost 12%-18% higher than the industry average;
• Capacity Constraints: Time-consuming changeover and inefficient wrapping slow down post-process packaging, forcing front-end production lines to reduce speed, leading to an 8%-15% daily capacity loss and inability to deliver on time during peak seasons;
• Damaged Brand Image: Loose packaging and non-environmentally friendly materials trigger consumer complaints, and may even lead to lost cooperation opportunities in markets emphasizing green consumption;
• Compliance Risks: Using non-eco-friendly packaging materials may violate regional environmental policies (e.g., plastic restrictions), facing fines or sales bans that affect market access.
Solution and Brand Advantages: Core Value of Automatic Sleeve-Type Cup-Combination Paper Wrapping Machine
To address the pain points in collective packaging of cup/bottle products, our automatic sleeve-type cup-combination paper wrapping machine (with packing machine function), featuring intelligent non-standard customized design, provides an environmentally friendly, efficient, and flexible post-process packaging solution. All advantages are based on the actual functions of the equipment with no false information added.
Core Advantages: Eco-Friendly, Efficient, and Adaptable to Multi-Specification Customization
• Full-Process Automation to Boost Capacity: The machine automatically completes paperboard fetching, product grouping, synchronous conveying, positioning, folding, glue spraying, bottom sealing, and output without manual intervention. With an output of 1200-2000 sets per hour, it adapts to the rhythm of high-speed production lines;
• Flexible Adaptation to Multi-Specifications: Moving parts in contact with packaging can be quickly adjusted in size. Combined with intelligent parameter storage, changeover between 2-cup/4-cup/bottle sets and other specifications is completed within 15 minutes without mold replacement, meeting non-standard customization needs;
• Eco-Friendly Materials and High-Quality Display: Using paperboard as packaging material enables high-definition printing, enhancing terminal display appeal. The degradable, pollution-free paperboard complies with green packaging policies, helping build the brand’s eco-friendly image;
• Precise Protection to Reduce Damage: Equipped with a flexible cup-pressing mechanism and smooth engineering plastic mesh belt, it ensures no extrusion damage during combined cup grouping. Anti-falling positioning technology fixes products through customized positioning buckles on paperboard, reducing package scattering rate during transportation to below 0.5%;
• Intelligent Stability and Easy Maintenance: Key components are driven by servo motors, ensuring precise, energy-efficient operation. A dedicated PLC control system and color touchscreen enable visual parameter adjustment for simple operation. A large-capacity paperboard conveyor belt supports non-stop feeding to reduce downtime. Main components adopt modular design for easy maintenance and high cost performance.
