A single die hydraulic automatic machine for paper plates and bowls is typically configured with a 2 HP motor and a single-phase power supply, utilizing a hydraulic system for powerful and consistent pressing. These machines are designed for fully automated, high-speed production with minimal manual effort. Technical Configuration Details Motor and Power:
Motor Power: Most models use a robust 2 HP (Horse Power) electric motor, often from brands like Godrej or Crompton. Some lighter-duty or older models might use 1 HP motors, while heavier-duty machines may use up to 3 HP.
Voltage and Phase: Operates on a standard 220V/240V single-phase power supply, which makes it suitable for small and medium-scale businesses and home industries. Some industrial setups may use a 440V three-phase connection.
Power Consumption: Highly efficient, typically consuming around 2 to 3 units of electricity per hour of operation.
Hydraulic System:
Mechanism: The motor powers a hydraulic pump that builds pressure (up to 10 tons in some cases) to move the die and press the paper material.
Oil Tank Capacity: The system includes an oil tank, usually with a capacity of 40 to 50 liters.
Mechanical Components:
Frame Material: The machine body is generally made from durable mild steel (MS)or cast iron to provide stability and long life.
Drive: The "auto chain" configuration in some models indicates a chain and gear system is used for precise movement and synchronization of the paper feeding and die pressing processes.
Dies: The single die system is interchangeable, allowing production of various sizes of plates, bowls, and thali, typically ranging from 4 inches to 14 inches in diameter.
Operational Specifications
Automation Grade: Fully Automatic.
Production Capacity: Varies by paper thickness and size, but generally ranges from 1,000 to 2,500 pieces per hour. Some advanced models can reach up to 5,000 pieces per hour.
Raw Material: Compatible with paperboard, PE coated paper, and aluminum foil paper with a thickness range of 80 GSM to 500 GSM.
Control System: Many automatic models are fitted with an electronic control panel or Human Machine Interface for ease of operation.
