We offer turnkey solutions for the production of EPS cups. Using beads for multiple molding machines, Lead Machinery expands gas filled beads through a continuous pre-expander with a maximum throughput of 250kg/h. Ensure consistency of size by air drying beads over a fluid bed and sieving them.

Dry expanded beads are conveyed to the molding machines via a blower before being stored or aged.

In addition to providing powerful clamping forces and high productivity, our 10 cavity molding machines have horizontal moving driven by pneumatic-mechanical toggles. As a result of improved machine and tooling design, heating and cooling times have been shortened, reducing steam and energy consumption.

Faster cycle times and a PLC-controlled molding machine have improved productivity and reduced floor space requirements.

With our cup unscrambling and collecting systems, leak detection can be automated and continuous.

Automatic counting and bagging equipment can also be provided capable of accepting stacks from 4 machines and packing 1 to 3 stacks per bag at a rate of 25 stacks per minute.

The most popular way to get started with a promotional business is to print foam cups. One reason is the demand and ease of printing. You may use solvent or UV inks. Due to the disposable nature of the cups, you do not have to worry about pretreatment. UV inks cure instantly, while solvent-based inks may take a few minutes.

A foam cup can be air dried for curing, forced hot air or IR treated with solvent-based inks. UV printing is the fastest option for printing your cups because it cures instantly.
