The emergence of biodegradable plate making machine provides a new solution for sustainable tableware production. In recent years, the global exploration of alternatives to plastic disposable tableware has continued. Biodegradable plate has become an important choice for reducing plastic tableware due to its ability to decompose quickly in the natural environment. Biodegradable plate machine uses pulp molding technology to convert natural plant fibers into biodegradable tableware. It demonstrates excellent biodegradable plate production advantages.
Biodegradable plate refers to tableware whose materials can be decomposed into water, carbon dioxide and organic matter under appropriate environmental conditions through natural microbial action. It does not pollute the environment. Unlike traditional plastics, biodegradable plate will not remain in the natural environment for hundreds of years. Instead, it can be degraded in a relatively short time. Biodegradable plate produced by pulp molding machine can even be decomposed naturally within 3 months.
Biodegradable plate making machine mainly relies on sustainable raw materials to produce disposable tableware. Pulpboard and biomass fiber are the most common raw materials. They are both biodegradable, ensuring that the final product is eco-friendly.
Pulpboard is a thick sheet material made of pulp. It is made from renewable natural plant fibers. The material has a uniform texture and is easy to shape. Therefore, pulpboard can be directly processed into biodegradable plate.
Biomass fiber is an organic fiber extracted from plant materials such as bagasse, bamboo fiber and wheat straw. They are widely available and low cost. When using biomass fiber for pulp tableware machine, the production line needs to adopt biomass pulping equipment.
Cold pressing technology achieves high dehydration rate of dry embryos, reduces electricity consumption cost for drying.
Thermal control management system saves 40% of the energy consumption of electric heating.
ABB6-axis multi-joint robot achieves high automation degree and operation precision.
Open the automatic emergency stop function when the guardrail is abnormal.
High-precision, energy-saving servo press with intelligent control meets diverse production needs, enhances working efficiency.
End products and scraps are transported separately. Equipped with automatic conveyor belts to achieve unmanned transfer.
950mm*950mm size ratio makes the mold heat up faster. You can change mold within 1-3 minutes. Fully enclosed electric heating reduces energy consumption to just 2.5 kWh per 1,000 plates.
The production water adopts closed-loop circulation technology. The internal components of water resources are recycled without external discharge.
Modular design improves installation efficiency by 60%. Meanwhile, you do not need to shut down the entire production line for the maintenance of biodegradable paper plate making machine.
Different from traditional pulp tray machine, multi-joint robotic arm can reduce labor costs by approximately 30%. Automated production line produces up to 6 million pieces annually, 30% higher than traditional lines.
The equipment can automatically check for faults in each component and swiftly relay the information to the control system, reducing maintenance response time by more than 50%.
A color-changing LED light strip module shows the machine’s working status through different colors, significantly improving inspection efficiency.
Through vacuum filtration, pre-pressing, and shaping technologies, the system ensures a high yield rate of over 95%.
The positioning accuracy of the robotic arm reaches ±0.1mm, and the qualified rate of pulp molding products reaches more than 99%.
The entire pulp processing process includes shredding, refining, and homogenization. The biodegradable plate making machine automatically adjusts the pulp concentration and water supply throughout the process. The specific details are as follows:
Finally, the pulp with the appropriate concentration enters the supply tank.
World produces 400 million tons of plastic waste every year, 36% of which is food & beverage packaging. To make matters worse, the latest data shows plastic still account for 45.9% of the tableware market in 2023. More plastic waste enters the ocean and landfills every year, causing marine pollution and soil pollution. As an alternative, biodegradable plates can enter the consumer market to reduce the market share of plastic tableware. Thus, eco friendly plate making machine alleviates the ecological burden brought by plastic.
Traditional plastic tableware involves a large amount of greenhouse gases in the process of plastic manufacturing, tableware processing, etc. In contrast, the raw materials of pulp tableware and industrial packaging come from crop waste or plant fibers. These materials absorb CO2 through photosynthesis during their life cycle. In addition, biodegradable tableware returns to the soil through natural decomposition after use, without relying on high-energy waste incineration or chemical treatment, further reducing the total carbon emissions.
In recent years, many countries have adopted various policies to encourage using sustainable products instead of plastic. These policies are driving tableware manufacturers to transform towards sustainability. This provides clear regulatory support for the production of biodegradable plates, which in turn promotes the demand for related equipment. More importantly, financial subsidies from certain policies can offset part of biodegradable plate making machine cost.
From 2024 to 2029, the global disposable tableware market size is expected to rise from $35.35 billion to $43.95 billion. In this huge market potential, pulp tableware, as a substitute for disposable plastic products, is expected to have a market replacement rate of more than 10% in 2024. And by 2030, this figure is expected to exceed 30%. This provides a broad space for the development of biodegradable paper plate making machine manufacturers.
Traditional tableware processing methods have the disadvantages of high energy consumption and large pollution emissions. In contrast, modern biodegradable plate machine uses pulp molding technology. It is not only highly automated and intelligent, but also reduces resource consumption. Technological upgrades drive industry transformation. In order to improve their market competitiveness, tableware manufacturers began to upgrade the production lines.
