Key Features

 

Multi-Knife Synchronous Cutting: Servo-controlled rotary cutting assembly moves synchronously with the paper tube feed, producing burr-free, clean-cut ends without tube crushing.

Closed-Loop Tension Control: Automatic pneumatic tension regulation on each paper reel unwinder prevents tube wrinkling and maintains constant wall thickness.

Multi-Station Gluing Unit: Stainless steel adhesive application system ensures uniform glue distribution across all paper plies without excess overflow.

Modular Forming Head Assembly: Quick-release mandrels and forming belts allow operators to switch straw diameters within 20 minutes.

Integrated Safety Enclosures: Interlocked safety guarding complies with CE machinery directives, halting operation immediately upon panel opening.

 

Applications

 

Standard Beverage Straws: 6mm x 210mm straight straws for juice, soft drinks, and water cartons.

Bubble Tea & Smoothie Straws: 8mm to 12mm wide-bore straws for boba, milk tea, and thick shakes.

Artisanal & Custom-Printed Straws: Food-grade flexo-printed paper tubes for branded hospitality and retail packaging.

Industrial Paper Tubes: Small-diameter winding for cotton swab sticks, lollipop sticks, and precision electrical insulation cores.

 

Customization

 

Diameter Range: Custom mandrels and forming sets engineered for non-standard diameters (e.g., micro-tubes 3mm or large tubes up to 15mm).

Layer Configuration: Up to 5-ply setups for heavy-duty structural rigidity in carbonated or hot beverage applications.

Online Inspection Integration: Optional vision-based defect sorting modules for automated rejection of out-of-tolerance cuts.

Voltage & Control Interface: Customizable electrical inputs (220V/440V, 60Hz) and multi-language PLC operation panels.

 

Manufacturing & Quality Control

 

Machining Precision: Main frames and roller housings are machined on 5-axis CNC boring and milling centers to maintain mechanical alignment under continuous high-speed operation.

Component Traceability: Critical drive components, bearings, and pneumatic cylinders are sourced from verified industrial suppliers (SKF, SMC, Schneider).

ISO-Certified Quality Management: Manufactured under strict ISO 9001 quality control workflows and certified to CE safety compliance standards for international industrial export.

In-House Assembly & Testing: Every machine undergoes a mandatory 72-hour continuous dry-run and load test on the factory shop floor before crating, verifying throughput stability and OEE performance.

Quality Verification: Dimensional inspection reports, material composition certificates, and factory acceptance test (FAT) documentation are provided with every shipment.

 

Installation & After-Sales Support

 

Documentation Package: Comprehensive English technical manuals, electrical schematics, PLC source code backup, and exploded parts diagrams supplied digitally and in print.

Commissioning Options: On-site installation and operator training delivered by senior mechanical engineers, or remote setup via high-definition video guidance.

Upstream & Downstream Integration: Engineering support available for integrating the machine into complete automated packaging lines, including connection to drying units and auto-packers.

Spare Parts Inventory: Standard wear components (cutter blades, forming belts, glue rollers) maintained in stock for dispatch within 48 hours.

Remote Diagnostics: PLC systems equipped with Ethernet ports for remote troubleshooting and firmware updates.

 

Packaging & Delivery

 

Export-Standard Crating: Vacuum-sealed in anti-corrosion moisture barrier film, secured on fumigated solid wood pallets, and enclosed in heavy-duty plywood crates.

Container Loading: Engineered bracing and container lashing protocols executed by certified logistics personnel to prevent transit shifting.

Lead Time: Standard configurations ship within 25 to 35 business days from receipt of deposit.

 

FAQ

 

Q: What is the typical paper consumption, glue usage, and labor requirement?

A: A standard 3-ply 6mm straw setup consumes approximately 3.5 kg to 4.5 kg of paper reel stock and 0.4 kg of food-grade PVAc glue per hour at 100 cuts/min. The entire production line requires only 1 trained operator for reel loading and quality monitoring, optimizing plant labor efficiency.

Q: Can this machine process biodegradable paper and water-based glue?

A: Yes. The machine is fully compatible with FSC-certified Kraft paper and standard food-grade water-based adhesives compliant with FDA and EU 10/2011 regulations.

Q: What maintenance intervals and overall yield rates should plants expect?

A: Routine maintenance is limited to daily cleaning of glue applicators and weekly lubrication of drive chains. With proper maintenance, the machine achieves a stable scrap rate of less than 1% during continuous high-speed operation.

Q: What warranty coverage is included?

A: A 12-month standard warranty covers all non-wear mechanical and electrical parts against manufacturing defects.
