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.

In addition, the insertion of the PS symbol indicates that it is made of polystyrene and such a container is in contact with hot and greasy foods due to the release of styrene carcinogenic monomer; therefore, these containers should not be used for food and hot drinks And fatty acids, and are used only for soft drinks and cold-fat foods. These containers are available in three types of polystyrene foam (EPS), expanded polystyrene (HIPS) and ordinary polystyrene containers (GPPS).

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 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.

It should be noted that conventional plastic injection machines are used to produce disposable forks & spoons & knives and thick disposable containers such as trays, dessert and ice cream containers and so forth. The only difference is the changeability of molds by which the containers can be produced in different models and cavities (number of products in each press) in accordance with customers’ order.
