Generally, all disposable containers are divided in two categories: semi-forming (PS) and thermo-forming (PP). They differ in consuming materials, production stages and price. In all disposable container production machines the raw material melt and then are formed into sheets and get different shapes via pressing and shaping processes. In semi-forming machines, all above-mentioned stages are integrated and the consuming material is polystyrene (PS). These machines generally produce fragile containers. However, these machines produce majority of disposable containers, including bowls, cups, dishes and mushroom container. The reason is the low price of semi-forming machines compared to forming-machines. Since the containers are fragile and harmful, especially in dealing with hot, these machines are not recommended for producing disposable glasses.

PS foam food box machine uses PS material sheets to make foam food containers. By changing different molds, the equipment can be used to produce fast food boxes, foamed dishes, trays, and other containers. PS foam food container production line mainly includes foam sheet unit, vacuum forming machine, plastic crusher, recycling line, and other equipment. In addition, YG also provides a variety of food container-making machines such as

The foam sheet unit adopts the double machine series high foam sheet production process. Adding a blowing agent during the extrusion of polystyrene raw materials by using this equipment. After grinding head extrusion, foaming, cooling, shaping, pulling, and winding into the finished sheet. PS foam sheet is a new type of packaging material, which has good thermal insulation and cushioning properties and also has a pearl-like appearance and color. After vacuum forming, the PS foam sheet is made into various types of food containers such as lunch boxes, trays, dishes, etc.

Polypropylene (PP) is the main consuming material of forming machines. These machines are composed of two parts: sheet making and pressing (containers production). Therefore, in addition to selling the final product of these machines, the produced sheets could be used in different industries. Since propylene is flexible and is not harmful to human body, disposable glasses are currently made by thermo-forming machines.

The automatic vacuum forming machine is a new type of thermoforming unit that integrates and cuts. This fully automatic vacuum forming machine is used in the fully automatic PS foamed lunch box production line. The semi-automatic vacuum forming machine does not have the function of cutting. The automatic vacuum forming machine adopts the man-machine interface computer touch screen control system, which is easy to operate. It has the characteristics of large forming area, convenient cutting and fast forming speed. The equipment can be used to produce a wide variety of shaped sheets. The shape of the finished product can be achieved by changing the mold.
