About seminars

Welcome to the Paper Cup Making In-house Seminars

Paper Cup Making In-house Seminars are designed to develop and expand the skills of Mechanical Designers and Engineers working in or entering the field of paper cup and plate machine design.

Seminar students are a unique group of professionals who are or will be responsible for the design of the world class production equipment used in food and drink industry. While several established equipment suppliers dominate the world market, the manufacturing companies in the developing world often lack of experience and knowledge to bring their machinery to the level of high speed/high quality consumer goods.

PAPER CUP MACHINE DESIGN SEMINAR:

This topic is taught in one day.

There are two manufacturing methods to produce a paper container, which are mentioned and samples of technology shown for comparison.

All of the critical machine areas, assemblies, components, materials and material properties are examined.  Design rules for cup bottom and sidewall blank cutting dies, forming mandrels, cup brim curlers, heat treatment, etc., are reviewed.

Unique design samples such as cup geometry calculations, paper forming, cutting and feeding means, high speed kinematics, linkages, gears, bearings, hydraulics, pneumatics, lubrication and   seam welding are discussed and design guides provided.

Finally, sample drawings, drawing notes, and machinery cost estimates are presented. There are also videos of several cup making methods and samples.

PAPER PLATE PRESS DESIGN SEMINAR:

This topic is taught in one day.

All of the critical press areas, assemblies, components, materials and material properties are examined.  Design rules for blanking and cutting dies, heating elements, plate transfer and stacking etc., are reviewed.

Design samples such as plate geometry calculations, paper forming, cutting and feeding means, high speed kinematics, linkages, gears, bearings, hydraulics, pneumatics and lubrication are discussed and design guides provided.

Sample drawings, drawing notes, and machinery cost estimates are presented.
