Key Technologies Behind Stable 260 Cups/Min Production
The RD-230A is designed for large-scale paper cup manufacturing with advanced sealing technology, precision knurling, and intelligent servo control systems. These technologies help improve sealing quality, reduce leakage, increase production stability, and support continuous high-speed operation.

Cup Body Sealing Advantages
The cup body lap joint remains under continuous vertical mechanical pressure through multiple sealing stages, including cup clamping, dual hot-air heating, and bottom folding. This design improves sealing consistency, reduces energy consumption, and significantly lowers the risk of leakage during high-speed production.

Constant Pressure Knurling
The upgraded knurling structure provides more uniform pressure across the cup bottom. Combined with durable bearing components and customized embossing slots, the system delivers stronger bottom sealing performance and helps minimize leakage caused by uneven knurling pressure.

Control System Advantages
The front paper feeding station uses servo precision control, while the forming section is driven by dual indexing curved cams controlling 11 independent assemblies. This combination provides excellent synchronization, stable operation, higher forming accuracy, and reliable performance at speeds up to 260 cups per minute.
