We know that injection molding machine are used for making plastic products. For different products, the injection molding machine has slight differences such as the mould. In this article, let’s focus on the injection moldg machine for plastic cup. we will introduce the working principles of injection mold machine for plastic cup.

How to make plastic cups by injection molding machine?

When it comes to the manufacturing method of the plastic cup, the process can actually be slightly different for a disposable cup and a reusable plastic cup. You may also know that reusable plastic cups are hard plastic cups. The type of plastic cups will not only affect their production mode, but also their impact on the environment and their general use.

The plastic cup is made by a process called injection molding, in which the plastic material is mixed with the liquid and inserted into the template of the plastic cup, and the template determines the size and thickness of the cup.

The injection molding process begins by putting raw materials into a machine called a hopper. The machine actually just keeps mixing this plastic with other materials needed to form the final result. When the material is mixed, it will be poured into the formwork. When it has the appropriate thickness and size, it will remain in the formwork and cool. The only thing left is to let the plastic cup heat slowly to remove the casting from the surface.

Therefore, whether the plastic cup is disposable or reusable depends on the template used by the manufacturer. This is actually a big setting for manufacturers, which is why manufacturers either specialize in disposable plastic cups or reusable plastic cups.

Some facts about plastic cups

I do not know whether you have noticed that how many plastic cups would you use for a year. According to survey, around 500 billion plastic cups will be used around the world each year. I have to say this this is a very amazing number. And these cups will take hundreds of years to decompose and the exact decomposition time depends on the material. Thus, it is important to look for more environmentally friendly material to protect our earth.
