Background:

Thermos are common daily necessities. Therefore, the production process must ensure that their materials are tough, durable, and resistant to damage, ensuring a long service life. Therefore, the quality of the thermos depends on the equipment used in its production.

Thermos production process consists of three steps: shell processing, liner processing, and assembly.

Shell processing includes: tube cutting, water expansion, cup separation, necking, shaping, flat bottom, stretching, and cleaning.

Liner processing includes: tube cutting, water expansion, cup separation, necking, shaping, flat bottom, waterproof neck, thread rolling, bottom welding, and cleaning.

Assembly includes: joint welding, bottom pressing, bottom welding, spot welding, vacuuming, temperature measurement, electrolysis, polishing, painting, screen printing, and packaging.

Equipment Functions

Automatic Production line primarily performs finishing processing on the outer shell and liner of thermos cups, including cup separation, necking, laser flattening, stretching, rimming, thread rolling, hemming, and product conveying. It can process a variety of thermos cups styles.

>Thermos cup precision automatic production line is an indispensable equipment for the future of the thermos cup industry and is also the future trend of the thermos cup production industry. The thermos cup automatic production line not only reduces labor costs, but also improves processing and production efficiency.

>Precision automated production lines typically use Ethernet communications to facilitate data transmission between devices. Individual machines can be prioritized based on the specific cup production process. A stainless steel thermos production line is constructed with a double layer of stainless steel, the inner and outer shells welded together using welding techniques. A vacuum seal is then used to extract the air between the two layers to achieve the desired insulation effect.
