Automatic Melamine Cup Forming Machine
The HCE automatic melamine cup forming machine is designed for cups, mugs, soup cups, deep bowls and deeper single-color melamine products. Cup production is more demanding than flat tableware because rim roundness, wall density, bottom curing, horizontal pressure and demolding space must be managed together.
HCE combines vertical compression, horizontal pressure assistance, automatic cup handling, PLC control, temperature control and sufficient demolding space in one cup-focused forming machine. With cast-iron upper seat, middle seat and lower cylinder base, HCE gives the factory a more complete machine structure for cup rims, walls and bottoms.
Key Machine Capabilities
- Vertical compression plus horizontal pressure assistance supports cup walls, rims and bottom geometry.
- Automatic cup operation organizes loading, pressing, demolding and cup removal.
- PLC and temperature settings help operators build stable parameters for different cup molds.
- HCE can also be configured for suitable single-color products when mold and product structure match.
Machine Functions and Molding Control
The difficult part of cup production is that the rim, wall and bottom must form together, while demolding must avoid pulling or deformation. HCE combines vertical compression, horizontal pressure, platen heating, degassing, holding pressure, demolding space, automatic operation and temperature control in one cup-focused machine.
Cup walls, rims and bottoms receive different forces. HCE uses vertical compression with horizontal pressure assistance to support deeper molds and cup-wall forming.
Cup products need enough daylight and removal space. Proper spacing helps operators remove cups, clean molds and inspect rims while reducing rim damage and cup deformation.
Cup walls, bottoms and rims need coordinated degassing, holding pressure and platen temperature. HCE can be tuned by cup depth and powder condition.
Loading, pressing, degassing, holding, demolding and cup-removal positions can be managed through PLC settings, helping the operator reuse successful trial conditions.
Model Range and Specification Selection
The HCE series includes HCE-80, HCE-100, HCE-150 and HCE-200. Selection depends on cup height, rim shape, wall thickness, bottom thickness, mold weight, cavity count, horizontal pressure requirement and cup-removal space.
Han Chang reviews cup diameter, cup height, rim drawing, mold dimensions, cavity count, platen temperature, horizontal pressure and target output so the customer receives a machine configuration built for cups and deeper products.
Suitable for cup trials, small to medium cups, lower cavity counts and medium output, making it easier to establish rim, wall, bottom and demolding conditions.
Suitable for larger cups, heavier molds, more cavities or higher output requirements, with more room for platen area, daylight and demolding.
When cup height, rim shape, wall thickness or bottom thickness needs side support, HCE plans vertical compression and horizontal pressure together.
Automatic cup operation helps one operator manage loading, pressing, demolding and cup removal more clearly during long production runs.

HCE Production Setup for Cups and Deep Products
Cup projects should be reviewed through cup depth, rim shape, wall thickness, bottom thickness, mold weight, horizontal pressure and removal direction. HCE connects these conditions with pressing, heating, degassing, holding and demolding action.
Cup height, diameter, rim shape, wall thickness and bottom thickness affect powder filling, pressure transfer and demolding method. HCE selection starts with the cup structure.
Deep molds need enough daylight, stroke and cup-removal room so operators can demold, remove products and clean the mold without forcing the cup. Proper space helps protect rim roundness, wall density, bottom curing and demolding marks.
When the cup wall or rim needs side support, horizontal pressure works with degassing steps, holding time and platen temperature.
HCE is strongest for cups and deeper products, and it can also be configured for suitable single-color products when mold and product conditions match. This gives the line more flexibility while still protecting gloss, thickness and output planning.
- Cup diameter, cup height, rim drawing, wall thickness, bottom thickness, product photo or drawing.
- Mold dimensions, mold weight, cavity count, daylight, horizontal pressure requirement and cup-removal direction.
- Production powder, charge weight, platen temperature, target output, voltage and factory layout.
- Trial checks for rim roundness, wall density, bottom curing, demolding marks and cup-removal movement.
Service, Imported Components and Export Support
Han Chang supports the machine itself: equipment discussion, installation confirmation, operator guidance, online machine diagnosis, replacement-part coordination and maintenance discussion are supported by service teams in Taiwan and Mainland China.
Applicable configurations can use imported key components such as Mitsubishi PLC, Fuji Electric touch panel and Japanese-brand oil seals. These components help with control stability, fault diagnosis, maintenance planning and long-term machine use. CE certification is available by export project, machine configuration and documentation scope.
Han Chang can review HCE horizontal pressure, cup-removal position, demolding space, platen temperature, PLC parameters and automatic cup operation. Rim, wall or cup-removal issues are checked through both machine movement and mold conditions.
Customers can provide control-screen photos, alarm messages, hydraulic gauge readings, platen temperature status, mold movement videos and site photos. Han Chang reviews hydraulic, electrical, heating, PLC, sensor, powder, mold, preheating and compression conditions before coordinating parts or service, helping factories protect surface gloss, thickness, color boundary, demolding quality and stable output.
PLC, touch panel, oil seals and related control components can be specified with imported brands by configuration, giving the factory clearer parameter control, fault diagnosis and future replacement planning.
Service teams in Taiwan and Mainland China can support equipment discussion, operation guidance, online diagnosis and replacement-part coordination for cross-region customers.
For export projects, CE certification can be discussed according to destination, machine configuration and documentation scope before purchasing.
Automatic Melamine Cup Forming Machine FAQ
What products is HCE suitable for?
HCE is suitable for cups, mugs, soup cups, deep bowls and deeper single-color melamine products, especially products where rim, wall, bottom and demolding space must be planned together.
How is HCE different from a flat tableware press?
HCE can combine vertical compression, horizontal pressure assistance, automatic cup handling and more complete demolding space, making it more suitable for cups and deeper products.
