The popcorn cup filling and sealing machine is a piece of equipment specifically designed for the automated production of cup-packaged popcorn. It integrates functions such as automatic cup feeding, precise filling, efficient sealing, and finished product output, and is widely used in the snack food industry, helping popcorn companies achieve large-scale, standardized production. The following is a detailed introduction:
I. Core Functions and Workflow
This equipment completes the cup packaging of popcorn through a fully automated process:
Automatic Cup Drop: Empty cups are released orderly from the storage bin and enter the conveyor track;
Precise Filling: Utilizing multi-head filling technology, popcorn is quantitatively filled according to demand, with an accuracy of ±1.5%;
Sealing: Double sealing is achieved through constant temperature hot pressing technology to ensure airtightness. A coding system can also be used to print the production date;
Finished Product Output: The sealed cup-packaged popcorn is discharged through the top cup or a pushing device, entering the subsequent packaging or boxing process.
II. Equipment Features
Intelligent Control
Equipped with a PLC programmable control system and a touchscreen interface, it allows real-time adjustment of parameters such as filling volume, sealing temperature, and production speed. It features self-diagnosis and alarm functions, ensuring convenient operation and high stability.
High-Efficiency Production
Production efficiency varies depending on the model. For example, a four-outlet machine can produce 3000 cups per hour, while some high-speed models can reach 9600 cups/hour, meeting the needs of large-scale mass production.
Hygiene and Quality Assurance
Key parts of the machine body are made of 304 stainless steel, meeting food hygiene standards. The sealing process effectively prevents popcorn from getting damp and contaminated, ensuring taste and shelf life.
Customizable Adaptability
Supports various cup types (paper cups, plastic cups, etc.) and different capacities (50-500mL) for packaging needs. Customized heat-sealing films with printed patterns and text can also be provided according to customer requirements, enhancing product added value.
III. Application Scenarios
Widely used in food processing plants and snack food production lines, especially suitable for mass production of cup-packaged popcorn in cinemas and supermarkets. It can also be extended to cup packaging of similar granular foods (such as peanuts and grains).
This equipment significantly reduces labor costs and improves production efficiency through automation and intelligent technology, making it one of the key pieces of equipment for achieving standardized and large-scale production in the modern snack food industry.
