About pulp molding machine, choose automatic machine or manual machine?

At the moment of rapid development of pulp molding, automatic machine continue to impact the market, due to the high cost of automatic machine, there are few factories with automatic machine, today HTA to explain to you, what is the difference between them.

Let's first take a look at the workflow of different machines: Here's a simple analogy, the Manual is a washing machine with drying and washing. After the pulp is molded, it is dried directly in the machine. As for the manual machine, it needs to be pulled out manually after the pulp is placed on the drying rack for a few hours, and then put into the hot press, and then take out manually.

1.Automatic machine working steps:

Water mold pulping → vacuum dewatering - cold extrusion molding → Automatic transfer → Hot pressing molding → automatic stripping

2.The working process of manual machine:manual machine is divided into forming machine and hot press

(Equipment 1: Dredging pulp - manual transfer to tray - place drying rack)

(Equipment 2: Manually put in the hot press die - manually take out)

Molding

Inverted mold

Manual transfer,  air-cure

Hot press, dry

3.The difference between manual machines and automatic machines:

①Efficiency

First, in terms of efficiency, the output of one 1410 automatic machine is about equal to the output of eight manual machines.

The difference in the size of the machine die plate, and the manualhandling and drying time of the manual machine, the efficiency of the automaton is many times higher.

②Surface effect

Due to the continuous improvement of the processing technology, the product quality of the manual machine can also reach the level of the full automaton, but the surface effect in the mass production process, such as: smooth degree, fine degree, color uniformity, etc., the product quality of the automaton is still better than the manual machine.

Manual products

The details of the manual machine products (Slurry, Rip and tear) are difficult to meet customer needs. As shown below.

③Technical differences

Drawing Angle: under the premise of ensuring the yield, the automaton can do 0° drawing, and the manual machine must do at least 3°. Different angles lead to slight differences in product appearance, as shown in the figure below.

R Angle Angle: Also on the premise of ensuring the yield, we usually divide R Angle into elevation R Angle and plane R Angle, the automaton can basically achieve 0.5 degrees of plane and 6 degrees of elevation, and the manual machine can not achieve in this respect.

④Product details restoration

In mass production, the automatic molding machine has high precision and no manual handling process, so the retention of product details is higher and the product reduction is the best.

4.Summary

In contrast, Manual have certain advantages in terms of production capacity, product quality, technical perspective, and product details, but the mold opening cost of automatic machineis high, and the minimum order quantity of products is high. The manual mold opening cost is low, small batch customization can save costs, effectively reduce the packaging unit price, and there is a certain guarantee in product quality.

Multi-color products on the market basically rely on the manual machine to complete, large orders will consider the automatic machineto color, HTA adopts the continuous pulp supply system of Taiwan Bi Ka, the cost of the cleaning system is greatly reduced than in the past, you can do white, natural color, pink, and pantone color less than 50% of the color.

And our HTA has pulp molding production equipment group, is a combination of automatic machineand manual machine, from the product, efficiency, quality and other multi-dimensional thinking, to provide customers with more reasonable processing technology and processing flow, quality and quantity to complete the order.
