1. Material selection that matches the characteristics of tea drinks
The characteristics of tea drinks determine that the cups that hold it need to have specific properties, and Double-Wall Paper Cup Machine fully considers these needs in the selection of materials. The main material for making two-layer tea cups is specially treated paper, among which PE coated paper is the most common. This kind of paper forms a waterproof film by evenly coating PE plastic particles on the surface of the paper, which can effectively block the penetration of tea soup and prevent the paper cup from being damaged by water immersion.
The design of the two-layer tea cup with PE film on the inside and outside is to better adapt to the temperature characteristics of tea drinks. Tea drinks often require a higher water temperature when brewing. The double-sided coating structure of the double-layer paper cup can not only prevent the rapid conduction of hot water to soften the paper, but also avoid the influence of external moisture on the paper cup. In this way, the durability of the paper cup is greatly improved. Even if it is filled with high-temperature tea soup for a long time, it can maintain a good shape and structure, providing tea lovers with a stable and reliable tea drinking utensil.
The different characteristics of paper also affect the quality of two-layer tea cups. Thinner paper has lower cost, but it is insufficient in strength and durability; thicker paper has higher cost, but can withstand greater pressure and weight. The double-layer paper cup machine reasonably selects the appropriate paper according to the purpose and quality requirements of the two-layer tea cup. Two-layer tea cups used in high-end tea drinking places will use better quality and higher strength paper to match high-quality tea and consumption environment; while two-layer tea cups for daily use will use relatively low-cost paper while ensuring basic quality, balancing the relationship between quality and cost.
2. Delicate and complex production process
The process of manufacturing two-layer tea cups by double-layer paper cup machines involves multiple delicate steps, and each link has an important impact on the quality and performance of the final product.
The first is the paper slitting link. Large-size base paper should be accurately slit by a slitting machine according to the size requirements of the two-layer tea cup body and bottom. The cup body is cut into paper pieces of specific shapes, and its size needs to be accurately calculated to ensure that the cup body shape and size that meet the requirements can be formed in the subsequent cup rolling process; the cup bottom is cut into a suitable shape to prepare for the production of a stable cup bottom.
Entering the cup body forming stage, the cut paper pieces begin to gradually transform into the cup body of the two-layer tea cup. The paper pieces are first rolled into a cylinder by the cup rolling device to initially form the cup body outline. In order to ensure that the cup body seams are firm and well sealed, ultrasonic welding or hot pressing bonding technology is used to process the seams. Ultrasonic welding uses the energy generated by high-frequency vibration to instantly melt and bond the PE film at the paper seams. This method has fast welding speed, high strength and good sealing; hot pressing bonding uses heating and pressure to melt and press the PE film at the seams, which can also achieve good bonding effects.
For the creation of special structures of two-layer tea cups, such as insulating hollow walls or corrugated walls to enhance strength, the double-layer paper cup machine is equipped with a special forming device. When making a two-layer tea cup with a hollow wall structure, during the process of rolling the cup, a specific mold and mechanical structure are used to form a gap between the two layers of paper when the paper is curled, so as to achieve a heat insulation effect, reduce heat transfer, and keep the temperature of the tea soup longer; while the two-layer tea cup with a corrugated wall structure is to apply specific pressure and shape control to the paper when the cup body is formed, so that the surface of the cup body forms a corrugated texture, which not only enhances the strength of the paper cup, but also plays a non-slip role, making it easier for users to hold.
The production and installation of the cup bottom are also key steps. The paper sheet at the bottom of the cup is processed into a shape that meets the size requirements through punching, forming and other processes, and then accurately installed to the bottom of the cup body through the cup bottom installation device. During installation, glue bonding or hot pressing sealing is used to ensure that the bottom of the cup is tightly connected to the cup body to prevent tea soup leakage.
Finally, the assembled two-layer tea cup is also subject to overall processing and quality inspection. The curling treatment of the cup mouth makes the cup mouth smoother and rounder, which not only improves the aesthetics, but also prevents users from being scratched when drinking, and at the same time enhances the strength of the cup mouth. The quality inspection process uses professional equipment and methods to strictly check the size accuracy, appearance quality, sealing, strength and other aspects of the paper cup. Only two-layer tea cups that meet the quality standards can enter the market.
3. Diverse and extensive application scenarios
Two-layer tea cups are widely used in many tea consumption scenarios due to their unique advantages.
In teahouses, two-layer tea cups are common tea drinking utensils. Teahouses focus on creating an elegant and comfortable tea drinking atmosphere for customers.
