How to Calculate Production Speed and Capacity of Cup Making Machine

For Sivite Machinery Disposable Plastic Cup Making Machine, distinguish between theoretical and actual capacity, which depends on cycle speed and cavity count. Calculation logic:

Core Formula: Actual Capacity (pcs/h) = Cycles per minute × Cavities per cycle × 60 × Equipment Utilization Rate (85%-95%)

Actual Capacity (pcs/h) = Cycles per minute × Cavities per cycle × 60 × Equipment Utilization Rate (85%-95%)

Example: 28 cycles/min × 30 cavities × 60 × 90% = 45,360 pcs/h.  Sivite Machinery Full-Automatic Servo Cup Making Machine , its servo drive system can ensure stability during high-speed operation. It is recommended to operate at about 80% of the rated speed to balance efficiency and quality.

  1. Full-Automatic vs Semi-Automatic: Selection & Capacity Difference

Key differences lie in automation, efficiency and labor dependence. Selection depends on order scale and production mode. Core comparison & suggestions:

– Capacity: Semi-automatic: 5-15 cycles/min (10,000-20,000 pcs/h); Full-automatic (e.g., Sivite Machinery): 28 cycles/min (~30,000 pcs/h), +30% capacity.

– Core Differences: Semi-automatic needs manual intervention; Full-automatic is unmanned, 1 person for 2-3 machines (lower labor cost).

– Suggestions: Semi-automatic for small batches (daily <30,000 pcs); Full-automatic (e.g., Sivite Machinery) for large batches (daily >50,000 pcs), high food-grade requirements or high labor cost areas (higher stability, scrap rate ≤1%).
