Equipment for the production of disposable paper tableware. Manufacture of paper cups. Paper cups - a unique advertising medium

Paper cups are a convenient and environmentally friendly type of disposable packaging. The raw material used is laminated paper with a density of 150-350 g/m², with one-sided or two-sided lamination, depending on the technological requirements. So, for example, for the manufacture of cups for hot drinks, it is allowed to use paper with a one-sided laminated coating. For cold drinks, cups with double-sided lamination are used. For hot drinks, it is also recommended to use two-layer paper cups with a smooth or corrugated (corrugated) outer surface. Due to the low thermal conductivity, such glasses allow to exclude strong heating of the outer surface of the glass, as well as to keep the temperature of the contents for a longer time.

The production of paper cups is a sequential process consisting of such stages as: printing on laminated paper in rolls or sheets, cutting blanks for the sidewalls of cups (shells), forming cups using appropriate equipment, packaging finished products. Printing is carried out by flexographic, offset methods, or using screen printing. The choice of equipment for the production of paper cups is determined by the type of product that is planned to be produced, the planned production volumes, the type of equipment already available, as well as the budget of the project and the possibility, either economic feasibility assigning certain technological stages in the manufacture of disposable paper tableware for outsourcing.

Printing on blanks for glasses is done in offset or digital way.

Highly qualified printers know their business, so the production is carried out with virtually no adjustments and defects. Of course, this affects the cost of paper cups in the direction of reduction.

Disposable tableware is one of the most sought-after items in the food industry. Demand for it is steadily growing in both large and small cities and districts. Being an environmentally friendly material that completely decays within three years, disposable tableware is gradually replacing plastic counterparts from the market.

Of course, the leading positions among paper dishes are occupied by plastic cups, which are in demand at enterprises. fast food, in networks of vending machines, on filling stations, cinemas and other organizations.

An entrepreneur who decides to start a paper cup business can count on a stable market for finished products, since there are enterprises selling tea, coffee and other drinks in every city and need constant supplies at a normal price.

In addition, many businesses are trying to brand their products and order paper cups. corporate colors with logo printed on them. Such services are provided only by specialized industries.

Paper cups of 150 and 200 milliliters, used for pouring tea and coffee, as well as 300 milliliter cups, intended for the sale of soft drinks, are in the greatest demand.

Glasses with a volume of 0.7, 1 and 1.4 liters are used to sell popcorn, and they can be seen not only in cinemas, but also on supermarket shelves.

To organize own production paper cups, you must have a starting capital of 15-20 thousand dollars, a room with an area of at least 50-100 square meters, and employees who can perform the necessary functions. The profitability of a business can reach 60-70%, and the payback period on average is two to three years.

Stages of business organization

Before organizing work, it is necessary to analyze the market and think through all the details of future production. Estimated costs and income generation methods are prescribed in one document - a business plan. It also lists all the steps to be taken.

To create a business for the production of paper cups, you must perform the following steps:

register a company and choose the preferred form of taxation;
rent suitable premises;
purchase equipment for the production of paper cups;
to purchase raw materials;
get permits to conduct activities in the bodies of SES, local administration, fire supervision;
complete recruitment (considering that paper cup production is a completely automated process, the qualifications of employees are not of particular importance);
organize the sale of finished products.

The room should be provided with three zones - for the storage of raw materials, for the manufacture of products and for storage finished products. There should also be offices for the manager, accountant and other personnel (if any).

The building must be equipped with engineering systems (electricity, water, sewerage, etc.).

It is enough to hire two employees for the production line. If the work is planned in two shifts, respectively - four. In addition to an accountant, you may need a driver and a lawyer (or another person dealing with contracts and other organizational issues).

Equipment and materials

The choice of equipment must be approached responsibly. It is believed that today the highest quality equipment for the manufacture of paper cups is produced in the USA, Korea, China and in some European countries.

Equipment that produces up to 80 cups per minute costs around 600 thousand rubles.

Higher-quality systems producing up to 250 paper products are sold for a million rubles or more.

When choosing equipment, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that there are two types of vertical seam welding: ultrasonic (characterized by reliable fixation, can work around the clock at high speeds); thermal (it differs in a simpler method of gluing blanks, but it is also reliable).

Forming machines working with the second type of welding are cheaper. Since we are considering a business organization on initial stage, it is on these machines that we recommend stopping.

In addition to equipment, to start production, you need consumable- laminated cardboard or paper. The density of the material should be at least 120-280 grams per 1 square meter. The consumption of material for the manufacture of 400 thousand paper cups is about five tons.

In any case, materials and equipment should only be purchased from trusted and reliable suppliers who can confirm the quality of the products they supply.

How much can you earn

Today in Russia there are about 20 enterprises engaged in the manufacture of paper cups. Working in two shifts, each of them produces about 500 thousand finished products monthly. The net income of such production is 500 thousand rubles.

When calculating the estimated profitability, one should proceed from how many cups one machine can produce per minute. If, for example, one machine produces 40 cups per minute, in 8 hours of continuous operation it produces 19,200 cups. The cost of one glass of 250 milliliters is 2.3 rubles. With a markup of 30%, the selling price is 3 rubles (net profit in this case is 70 kopecks).

The cost includes fixed costs for:

payment for electricity;
employee salaries;
purchase of raw materials;
rent payment;
payment of taxes.

Collateral security high profitability is to establish long-term cooperation with buyers who order products in large quantities at wholesale prices. After a return on investment and reaching a stable income level, many entrepreneurs expand their own production, starting to produce not only cups, but also other paper dishes.

Business pros and cons

Summing up, we note that the production of paper cups has its pros and cons.

The main advantages include:

relatively fast payback of costs for the organization of production;
low amounts of initial investment (at the stage of creating a business, the amount of investments can be only 600 thousand rubles);
the possibility of organizing continuous production(in two shifts);
high performance equipment;
low competition in the market (there are not so many enterprises conducting such activities in Russia).

In general, the business is accessible even for beginners with a relatively small start-up capital.

The paper cup production process is completely harmless to both people and the environment.

In addition, it is quite simple and does not require the involvement of specialists with specific knowledge and skills.

The disadvantages of the organization of production include the level of risk. Like any other business, the production of paper cups can be profitable or incur losses.

It all depends on how competent marketing strategy enterprises, how competitive the products will be and how their sales will be organized. That is why before starting work it is necessary to carefully calculate and weigh everything.

For more accurate and correct calculations, you can seek the advice of specialists.

The paper tableware market in Russia is practically non-existent. There are about 20 small enterprises located in the central part of the country and in the Urals, whose field of activity is the manufacture and sale of cups. More than half of the enterprises produce only paper cups for coffee. Foreign manufacturers offer customers a wide range of cups of different shapes, sizes, colors. The main suppliers are European companies, as well as Korea, China, Vietnam.

Making paper cups is promising production, which do not require large financial investments at the start and special knowledge. Disposable tableware has a stable demand, both in metropolitan areas and in provincial cities. As the production of disposable paper cups gains momentum, plastic products are losing their relevance. This is due to the fact that paper is an environmentally friendly, harmless material that completely decomposes within 3 years.

Our business valuation:

Starting investment - 1,000,000 rubles.

Market saturation is low.

The complexity of starting a business is 7/10.

Opening a mini production of paper cups in Russia means organizing a promising enterprise, which over time will begin to bring to its owner good profit. This is due to low competition, year-round demand for products and a wide range of consumers. It is only necessary to study the ratio of supply and demand in the region where the mini-shop was opened and buy special equipment.

Benefits of a Paper Tableware Business

Making paper cups as a business has a number of undeniable advantages:

investments fully pay off in six months (sometimes - 12 months);
sum start-up capital required for the purchase of equipment and raw materials does not exceed 600,000 rubles;
Production Line can work for 24 hours;
powerful machines are capable of producing up to 50 cups per minute;
The latest technologies used in the manufacture of disposable tableware guarantee high quality products.

Paper cups are made of special laminated cardboard, the edges of which are fixed by ultrasonic welding.

Stages of organizing an enterprise for the production of paper utensils

To organize a business, you need:

register an enterprise and choose the form of taxation;
rent a room with an area of at least 50 m2;
buy equipment for the production of paper cups;
purchase raw materials;
obtain permission from SES, firefighters, relevant local authorities;
hire staff.

The qualifications of employees do not matter, because the production of paper cups on modern equipment is a fully automated process, absolutely safe for humans and the environment.

A business plan for the production of paper cups is drawn up on the basis of information obtained after studying the market in the region where the enterprise was opened. Market research will help you find the difference between supply and demand, determine the presence of competitors and fill an empty niche.

Experts say that the most "running" are hundred-gram cups for coffee, which are often used in the vending trade today. No less popular are tea glasses of 200 and 300 grams. Dishes are used not only for hot, but also for soft drinks.

Paper tableware manufacturing technology

The production process of disposable paper cups is very simple and does not require skills. You need to take a sheet of special thick paper or cardboard, with or without a pre-printed pattern. This sheet is wrapped around a special shape, its edges are glued or welded. The bottom is inserted into the product removed from the blank.

Equipment selection

paper cup production line

The price of equipment for the production of paper cups depends on the model of the device and the country of manufacture. The main suppliers of equipment used in the manufacture of disposable tableware are the United States, European countries, China and Korea. European equipment is distinguished not only by efficiency, productivity (up to 250 items per minute), power, but also by high cost. The price of machines varies from 1,000,000 rubles. and higher.

Machines for the production of paper cups from China are relatively inexpensive. The downside of the devices is not very high-quality assembly, which entails frequent breakdowns and repairs, and low productivity (from 30 to 80 glasses per minute). An entrepreneur choosing equipment should carefully read the documents attached to the devices, as well as pay attention to the reputation of the manufacturer in the market. This will help you choose and buy a quality machine that will last a long time. The average cost of the machine is 600,000 rubles.

The machines differ in the way of soldering. The ultrasonic method provides reliable fixation and uninterrupted work on high speeds. Thermal soldering is considered more reliable and in a simple way gluing workpieces.

The entrepreneur needs to purchase interchangeable blanks for the production of products that have different dimensions, since the machines are designed for the manufacture of dishes of the same size. The production of paper cups with a logo, inscriptions and ornaments will not do without a machine that prints on paper. A paper cutting machine will speed up the process of cutting blanks from a paper web.

Expendable materials

Paper cups are made from thick laminated paper or cardboard. The material must have a high density: from 120 to 280 grams per m2. Quite recently, Finnish paper was the undisputed leader. Currently, the popularity of domestic manufacturers is growing.

An entrepreneur organizing production should be aware that the production of 400,000 glasses (per month) will require about 5 tons of raw materials.

Profitability of paper cup manufacturing enterprise

Since the production of paper cups has not yet become widespread in Russia, it is quite difficult to make accurate calculations. The existing workshops, working in two shifts, producing more than 500,000 products per month, bring their owners a fairly large profit. According to experts, a beginner can count on income reaching 500,000 rubles. per month. Investments will pay off within 2-3 years.

The amount of revenue directly depends on how competently the sale of finished products is organized. The main buyers are hot food outlets, cafes, vending enterprises, fast food restaurants and others. Products can be sold to wholesalers.

Over time, you can expand the business by taking up the manufacture of paper plates and packaging. You can also offer customers advertising on cups.

Paving slabs of various colors, most types of tiles, paving stones - all this applies to polymer sand products.

At first glance, the manufacturing technology is complex. But if you choose the right equipment for the production of polymer sand products, you can soon get a good profit from sales.

Manufacturing technology

The main feature of this type of products is the use of natural raw materials (sand, clay) together with polymeric substances. To do this, it is necessary to mix these materials in the correct proportion and after heat treatment, finished products can be made.

Many manufacturers of polymer sand products keep the composition of their products a secret. This is due to the complexity of compiling the correct "recipe". Depending on the type of equipment and its mode of operation, the final product may acquire different operational properties.

However, the principles of constructing a technological scheme are the same for all types of production. It consists of the following steps:

Preparation of feedstock for subsequent mixing. With the help of crushing equipment, it is crushed to the same fraction.
Melting the material until a plastic mass is reached.
Production using a mold of the final product.

When choosing equipment, you should pay attention to its performance, the possibility of modification, performance.

Preparation and mixing of raw materials

Purified sand and several types of polymers are usually used as the main manufacturing material. Equipment for the production of polymer sand products is designed for the processing of almost all types of plastic that are necessary for the bonding of components.

It is best to use several types of polymer - hard (polystyrene, PET, etc.) and soft (HDPE and PVD). In the process of heating in the melting equipment, they will gradually form a homogeneous mass.

To mix the components, a crushing machine is used, which grinds all the elements to the desired fraction. Its main parameters are the total volume of the processed mass and the degree of its grinding. When completing the line, it should be taken into account that the performance of the crusher is the main parameter that affects the amount of grazing products.

After that, the resulting mass must be heated to the desired temperature.

Melting heating equipment

This processing step is mandatory, since only in this way high-quality polymer sand products are formed. The technology of their production consists in gradual heating and constant mixing of the composition.

The initial mix is placed in the loading bunker in which the screw is located. With its help, the mass is moved through heating zones with different temperatures. With a gradual increase in the level of heating, the raw material becomes plastic. This happens due to the melting of the plastic pellets. At low temperatures, soft polymers are plasticized, and when the critical heating point is reached, hard polymers are plasticized.

The melting heating unit is selected based on the maximum possible load volume and the speed of obtaining the composition of the desired consistency. Average performance modern models is 250-300 kg/hour.

molding

At this stage, press equipment is used for the production of polymer sand products. The heated composition is placed in molds, where, under the influence of pressure, the formation of future products occurs.

The line for the production of polymer sand products can produce one type of product or several. It all depends on the design of the press and the possibility of prompt replacement of molds. The main material of their manufacture is high-strength steel. Depending on the area of the press, from 2 to 12 paving slabs can be made at the same time. It is noteworthy that finished products do not need additional drying. After their manufacture, the batch can be packed and sent to the warehouse or directly to the installation site.

At the first stage it is necessary to choose the place of installation of the equipment. The room must have a power supply line of the required power with the optimal area for arranging the machines. Equipment for the production of polymer sand products can be selected from different manufacturers. Some of them offer complexes where the process of heating and molding is combined in one design. This significantly reduces labor costs, since there is no operation to move the heated mass from the melt line to the press.

The choice of a certain type of product depends on the state of demand. Currently very popular paving slabs- it is applied as in public utilities as well as in private buildings. If it is necessary to expand the range of products, you can purchase new molds. However, this step must be calculated, since their cost can reach several hundred thousand rubles.

Probably, every person in our country met with disposable tableware. And it does not matter at all what it was made of: paper or plastic. Before we find out what equipment for the production of disposable tableware should be purchased, let's figure out why it is worth doing it.

Advantages of the presented products

So, among the advantages we can distinguish the following:

ease of use;
very low cost;
environmental Safety;
convenience;
high demand.

Naturally, equipment for the production of disposable tableware cannot be called simple, as it is capable of performing dozens of different operations. However, the amount of possible income completely covers any shortcomings.

What are dishes made from?

Naturally, in order to stamp products, you must first purchase raw materials. For production, both paper and polyethylene can be used. Moreover, in the second case, the production is cheaper. However, paper tableware is safer.

Purchase of raw materials should be made from several trusted suppliers. In addition, recyclable materials are excellent for such production, the cost of which is very small. If you decide to choose polyethylene, then keep in mind that making dishes from it is quite difficult. However, the products are more durable and can be used in a microwave oven.

What equipment is needed to work

In order to organize your own workshop, you need to know what equipment for the production of disposable tableware should be purchased. So, you will need:

injection molding machine (designed to work with polypropylene and polystyrene);
thermoforming machine;
extruder - thanks to it, flat sheets can be obtained from polyethylene granules;
packing table;
crusher - used for grinding recyclables;
chiller - this machine for the production of disposable tableware provides cooling for workpieces;
compressor.

In principle, this equipment is quite enough to start a business. Then you can expand and buy more powerful and functional machines.

How to choose the right equipment?

This question is not too difficult. First you need to decide on the parameters of the machines, and then look for a suitable model. For example, for a start, you will be more fully satisfied with low-power equipment with average performance.

However, even it is not so cheap. Therefore, for starters, it is quite possible to use used machines. Naturally, they should be in good condition, and not break down every week. But here's how lucky.

If you decide to purchase a new line, then please note that you should order a machine for the production of disposable tableware only from a trusted manufacturer who enjoys a positive reputation.

When choosing, try to carefully consider all the devices. The seller must provide you with all necessary accompanying certificates.

Features of the production of polyethylene dishes

It is cheaper both in production and on the market. The manufacturing process of such material is quite complicated. It consists of the following steps:

1. To begin with, the sorted raw material in the form of granules is thrown into the extruder, where, under the influence of high temperature, it turns into a homogeneous semi-liquid mass. Mixing inside the bunker is carried out with the help of an auger.

2. The resulting mass is squeezed out through a thin slot. The result is a long and wide sheet, the thickness of which varies within a few millimeters. It all depends on how the shafts are configured, and they must work accurately and correctly. If you have a functional extruder, then with its help you can get a multilayer film. In any case, its thickness should be the same throughout its entire length.

As you can see, the manufacturing process is quite complicated. Machines must be operated by experienced operators who can operate automatic system using the remote control. Naturally, strict safety rules must be observed during work.

Features of the manufacture of dishes from laminated cardboard

First of all, it should be noted that equipment for the production of disposable paper tableware is produced only abroad. The fact is that in our country such a business is not very popular, due to the rather high cost of primary raw materials. However, if you still decide to do this, then look for German, American, Korean or Chinese devices.

On a standard line, you can do the following:

serve blanks of the sides of the glass;
form the cups themselves;
oil the surface of the cardboard, solder the sides to the blanks;
cut and roll the bottom.

If you want to use one machine for production different types products, then you will have to purchase some add-ons. For example, moldings that are intended for wrapping paper. That is, they serve as a form for future dishes. If you will be making exclusive cups, then you may need printing equipment with which you can apply the logo on the surface of the cardboard.

As for the production itself, the raw material for work is laminated cardboard, the density of which is from 130 to 280 grams / sq. m. In this case, the thickness of the laminate layer ranges from 10 to 20 microns. To connect the seams on the cups, a thermal or ultrasonic method is used. The first is cheaper, but the second is more reliable.

In many industries, plastic containers are used - this is the most inexpensive and convenient way to package food, medicine, hygiene products, toys. Which means entrepreneurial activity in this direction can become highly profitable. To start a business, you have to find a suitable premises, buy equipment for the production of plastic containers, and study the technology. Russian market is not crowded with offers, so beginners have every chance to take a strong position in this segment. A small enterprise, if you establish distribution channels, will very soon begin to bring consistently high profits.

To minimize any financial markets, analyze the sales market in a particular region. Are there many competitors? Will you find wholesale buyers? Where will you buy raw materials? detailed business plan production of plastic containers and packaging, you can calculate the costs and plan further activities.

Our business valuation:

Starting investment - 3,000,000 rubles.

Market saturation is average.

The complexity of starting a business is 6/10.

Registration of a container manufacturing business

Start by registering your business. In this case, it will be more convenient to register an activity in the form of an LLC - this will make it possible to establish cooperation with wholesale buyers and suppliers of raw materials.

The selection of OKVED, the choice of the form of taxation, the drafting of the charter of the future company - the procedure for registering an LLC is quite complicated. And in order to save yourself from running around the authorities, it is better to entrust the case to lawyers.

Decide on the product range

The production and sale of plastic containers as a business is a profitable direction. But in order to minimize financial risks and not open the 10th plant in the region, analyze the specific market. Plastic containers are different. Start the production of one in which nearby industrial enterprises are interested - this will reduce transportation costs for the delivery of finished products, and you will be sure that the entire volume of manufactured containers will go to buyers.

Interested in purchasing plastic containers:

pharmaceutical companies,
food factories,
enterprises for the production of hygienic products.

Learn the manufacturing techniques of different types of plastic containers - then you will be able to supply diverse products to the market. You will definitely find wholesale buyers!

Production technology and necessary equipment

The production of plastic containers and packaging can be carried out using different technologies - it all depends on what characteristics the finished product should have, and on the raw materials used. You will need the help of an experienced technologist to draw up specific recipes. You can work according to GOST or TU.

Polyethylene terphthalate, high and low pressure polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polystyrene. Look for suppliers of raw materials that are geographically closer to the plant being opened. It is beneficial to use recycled materials.

Enterprises often introduce several technologies for the manufacture of plastic containers:

Extrusion. This is how hollow containers are made - vials, bottles.
Vacuum forming. This is how cups, bottles, blisters of various shapes, correxes for confectionery products are made.
Casting. This is how bottles are made.

Production of containers and packaging for food products will differ from the manufacturing technology of blisters and jars for medicines. But in general, the technological chain can be described as follows:

Production of blanks on special equipment. To optimize the process, it can be more profitable to buy ready-made blanks.
Molten plastic or workpiece through special equipment takes the desired shape.
The finished product is cooled.

Choose the equipment based on which technology is selected. Explore the supplier market automatic lines to equip the workshop - there are quite a few offers. The production line consists of the following machines and devices:

dosing machines,
thermoforming machine,
vacuum forming machine,
blow molding machine,
milling and engraving machine,
conveyors,
heat exchangers.

The price of equipment for the production of plastic packaging will depend on the capacity of the line, its configuration, and the country of origin. It is better to choose a line that will allow you to produce several types of products. To equip a low-power workshop, at least 1,500,000 rubles will be required.

Production room

Investments will be made in the repair of the premises. Here, all the standards that are put forward by the supervisory authorities - SES and the fire inspection must be observed.

As for the workshop area, look for a building of at least 100 m 2. The premises must be divided into zones - the acceptance of raw materials, production itself, warehouses for storing raw materials and finished products. Office space and staff rooms will also be required. Look for an empty building on the outskirts of the city - rent is cheaper here. In addition, the production of polymer processing is considered harmful - the workshop, according to the regulations, should be located away from the residential area.

Sewerage, heating, water supply, electricity - all the "benefits of civilization" should be in the workshop. You will spend at least 300,000 rubles on the reconstruction of the premises.

Profitability of packaging production

The production of food plastic containers and packaging will require impressive cash investments. If you calculate all the costs of launching an enterprise, you get at least 3,000,000 rubles - the purchase and commissioning of equipment, the preparation of the workshop, the provision of raw materials, business registration, rent for the first month of work. And the costs can be even higher if you provide your own fleet for the delivery of finished products. But at first, novice entrepreneurs can use hired transport or offer customers only the service of self-pickup of finished products.

As practice shows, an enterprise producing plastic containers will be able to recoup all costs no earlier than after 2 years of operation. And the main problem that awaits the "young" plants is the lack of wholesale customers. Already at the stage of developing a business plan, try to establish contacts with potential customers for your products.

You will have to invest in advertising in order to promote your product on consumer market. calls industrial enterprises, advertising on TV and radio, articles in thematic magazines, participation in exhibitions - use different marketing tools!

In the global market for household and industrial plastic products there is a stable trend of active development. This fact is confirmed by the statistics provided by leading companies over the past few decades.

Leaders in the paper cup industry

Today in the world there are about a hundred large companies, which produce plastic injection molding equipment, raw materials and finished products. The geography of their distribution is very extensive, even if their number is reduced taking into account the formation subsidiaries, processes of association and absorption.

Today in the world there are several stably formed enterprises - market leaders. First of all, they represent the Asian part of the planet. Leading enterprises that produce plastic injection molding equipment and finished goods, as well as supply raw materials, are located in China, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, and Japan. Their total share in the total production volume is within 35-45%. Industry leaders are also in the European region. Most large enterprises located in Poland, Latvia, Czech Republic, Italy, Portugal, Germany. They account for about 25-30% of the production volume. Russia can be noted separately, given its geographical position. There are several leading enterprises in the industry in question in the country.

Electrical Injection Molding Equipment: Advantages and Disadvantages

The machines used today have a number of features that allow enterprises to significantly expand the scope of production and product range. Plastic molding is carried out using injection molding machines (TPA). Equipping machines with an electric drive has a number of advantages over hydraulics. In particular:

Reduced energy consumption. Savings in comparison with hydraulic injection molding machines is about 60%.
Possibility to install and operate machines in premises for the production of sterile products (for example, medical devices). Hydraulic injection molding machines are not suitable for such purposes due to the presence of a special lubrication system.
Easy to operate and manage. This advantage is achieved due to the presence of a smaller number of functional units.
High precision electric injection molding machines. This is especially important when manufacturing small parts for the medical, optical or watch industries.
Shortened injection interval. This allows you to significantly increase productivity.

Among the disadvantages of the units with which injection molding is carried out, their higher cost can be distinguished. However, price equalization is achieved by running series production machines.

Current Trends in Capacity Improvement

To increase the productivity and utilization rate of machines that carry out injection molding of products from various materials, primarily reduce the cycle time. In addition, a number of changes are being introduced directly into the technological process. In particular, the results of mass injection and plasticization are improved. Such improvements are especially important in a number of industries. For example, in the manufacture of PET preforms, which require the shortest possible cycle. Large manufacturers are actively developing today the introduction of complex technologies. Recently, there has been a gradual re-profiling for the production basic settings modular type. There is room for improvement in their design.

Injection molds

These elements always deserve special attention. The fact is that the cost of molds often reaches the price of the machine itself. In this regard, strengthening the protection of these elements is one of the primary tasks of enterprises. High-performance hybrid and electric units in which injection molding of plastic products is carried out are equipped with active systems with ultrasonic and piezoelectric sensors. This protection reduces the reaction time of the machine and allows you to control the condition of the parts with extreme precision.

The first step is to rent a space to install equipment and store products. Two zones will be required: the first for the manufacture of products, the second for its storage. In the first room, a machine, a molding machine and other necessary equipment are installed.

The total area of the workshop must be at least 50 sq.m. The exact size depends on the parameters of the equipment - it is from this factor that you need to proceed when renting. The room must be provided with electricity (380 volts), sewerage, hot and cold water supply (for the comfort of employees).

As for the necessary working personnel: the minimum number of people in the state is three employees: a driver, two employees per line. The qualification of workers in this case is not important - the production of cups is fully automated and requires only control and timely supply of materials.

Equipment for the production of paper cups

The main expense item for glasses is the purchase of equipment. The first thing you need to buy is a molding machine. They differ from each other by the method of welding the vertical seam of the glass.

Cheap models make a seam by electrical heating, are simple in design and relatively cheap. Since we are considering small business, then we will stop at them. With the help of this equipment cups for coffee and other hot drinks are produced, they are suitable for carbonated drinks and ice cream.

The molding machine consumes about 5-7 kW, while producing an average of 40 cups per minute. The minimum equipment of the production line should also include:

press for the manufacture of blanks;
cap making machine;
a special printer for laminated paper (you can use it to put a logo or inscription on a disposable cup).

Good equipment is produced by the Japanese company HORAUF(rather expensive), the JBZ series is popular. Since we are considering a small business, it makes sense to buy used equipment. The price for it is 1.5-2 times cheaper than for a new one.

Raw materials for the production of paper cups

For production, materials will be required: a cardboard sheet with a density of 120 to 80 g / sq.m., or thick paper with lamination. The best paper and cardboard is produced by Finnish companies, but it is cheaper to buy in Russia.

As for the consumption of materials: for the production of 100 thousand products, about 1 ton of raw materials will be required.

Paper cup production technology

The production process is quite simple and is carried out in several stages. First, a drawing or inscription is applied to a sheet of paper or cardboard using a printer. After that, using special forms, the machine wraps the sheets into the desired shape and glues them.

After removing the product from the mold, a pre-prepared round base is inserted. Thus, no difficulties arise in the production of glasses - the process is carried out very quickly.

Sales of products

There should be no problems with the sale of cups for hot and cold drinks: the high demand for them is due to the large number of outlets with takeaway coffee, catering establishments, and cafes. They are the main consumers of the product.

Since the production volumes of glasses are quite large, it is better to conclude an agreement with several buyers for complete sales. You can advertise on the Internet or call suitable companies directly by sending your price list.

Expenses and income

To begin with, let's calculate how many units can be produced per month with uninterrupted operation of the line 5 days a week (an eight-hour working day). As noted above, 40 cups are produced per minute, therefore, per day - 19,200 units, per month - 384,000. One unit of production costs about $ 0.05. Total income per month: approximately $19,200.

Initial investment: second-hand production line - $ 9 thousand, redecoration of the premises, business registration - $ 3,000.

Monthly costs include: rent costs ($1000), staff salaries (3*300=$900), raw materials (almost 4 tons) - $450*4= $1800. Total: $3700. Net monthly income will be about: 19200 $ -3700 $ =15500 $.

The production of paper cups is an important advantage of which is the lack of high competition. With the correct and sale of products, you can get a good and stable income.
