RD-XLF116W Paper Bowl Forming Machine


The RD-XLF116W paper bowl forming machine is a high-performance, fully automatic machine designed for efficient production of large-sized paper bowls ranging from 24oz to 46oz. Engineered with advanced servo control and precision mechanical transmission, this machine offers superior reliability, flexibility, and ease of maintenance — making it ideal for manufacturers of disposable noodle bowls, soup bowls, and takeaway containers.

Clean Tabletop Structure for Easy Maintenance

The RD-XLF116W adopts a bench-style layout, separating the forming section from the transmission section. This design ensures a clean production area by isolating the mechanical components below the tabletop, where the longitudinal shaft transmission, cylindrical cam indexing, and gear system are housed. All transmission components are equipped with a shower lubrication system, which extends service life and ensures smooth operation.

Intelligent Servo Control & Inspection Options

Equipped with PLC control and photoelectric tracking, the machine precisely coordinates each forming step — from base paper feeding (via servo motor) to curling and unloading. An optional visual inspection system can be integrated to automatically detect and reject defective bowls, enhancing quality assurance and reducing waste.

Double Curling Mechanism for Sturdy Rim Finish

The machine features a dual curling process to form smooth and durable bowl rims. This enhances the product’s strength, sealing capability, and appearance — especially important for food applications like hot soups and noodles.

Flexible Bowl Size Options

By changing molds, the RD-XLF116W can handle paper bowl sizes from 24oz to 46oz, with top diameters up to 150mm. This versatility makes it suitable for various food service packaging needs.
