Fully Automatic Paper Cup Machine Selection
Buyers should select a fully automatic paper cup machine according to output and cup size requirements.
| Demand | Recommended Model |
| 70–90 cups/min | YG-DP16 (Entry model, cost-effective) |
| 90–120 cups/min | YG-GS120 (Mid-range model, flexible configuration) |
| 120–150 cups/min | YG-160S (High-speed model, maximum output) |
All three models cover 3–16 oz cups. However, each size requires a matching mould. Common cup sizes include 8 oz, 12 oz, and 16 oz. Therefore, buyers should confirm the required mould quantity before ordering.
Factories that produce several cup sizes can prepare multiple mould sets. This arrangement helps expand product types without purchasing additional machines.
Disposable Paper Cup Making Machine Working Principle
A disposable paper cup making machine completes several forming steps in one production line. First, the machine feeds the paper sheet into the forming section. Then it rolls the paper into a cup body and seals the side wall.
After that, the machine installs the cup bottom and applies heating. Finally, it shapes the cup and sends out the finished product.
Different models use different sealing methods. YG-DP16 and YG-160S use ultrasonic sealing, while YG-GS120 supports ultrasonic or copper-strip sealing. The bottom heating system also differs according to the machine model.
Paper Cup Forming Machine Installation
A paper cup forming machine requires stable electrical power, compressed air, and enough working space. All listed models use 380V three-phase power. Air consumption ranges from 0.4 to 0.5 m³/min at 0.6–0.8 MPa.
Before shipment, buyers should confirm the machine dimensions, transport method, destination port, and customs requirements. They should also prepare the installation area, power connection, compressed air system, and equipment access route.
For overseas projects, buyers can also confirm warranty terms, spare parts, operator training, and remote technical support before shipment.
Automatic Disposable Paper Cup Machine Project in Oman
In March 2026, a food packaging supplier in Muscat, Oman, contacted YG Machinery to establish its own paper cup production line. YG supplied disposable cups to coffee shops, restaurants, and catering businesses and mainly required 8 oz, 12 oz, and 16 oz cups.
The customer already had PE-coated paper, a 380V three-phase power supply, and compressed air. After comparing the production requirements, the customer selected the YG-GS120 automatic disposable paper cup machine, which provides 90–120 cups per minute.
The customer arranged one eight-hour shift each day. Under theoretical conditions, the machine could produce about 43,200–57,600 cups per day. YG completed machine production, testing, and export preparation in about 25 days.
The customer prepared the workshop before delivery, including power supply, air connection, and installation space. After installation and operator training, the factory started production with 8 oz and 12 oz cups and later added a 16 oz mould.
The customer commented: “Producing our own cups gives us more control over delivery schedules and product sizes. It also reduces our dependence on outside suppliers.”
