Automation Upgrade: Reduce Labor Costs and Improve Product Yield


Time: 2026-10-19 08:50:25.610

Rising labor costs push packaging factories to accelerate automation transformation. New-generation fully servo thermoforming machines integrate servo drive systems, matched with manipulators for automatic part picking, cup stackers for automatic stacking and scrap recycling devices, greatly reducing manual intervention.

The full closed-loop production workflow: sheet extrusion & feeding → heating & softening → positive & negative pressure forming → punching & cutting → automatic picking by manipulators → stacking → finished product packaging. The automated process reduces defects caused by manual operation and stabilizes the finished product rate. Edge scraps can be recycled and reused to minimize material waste, aligning with green manufacturing concepts. For mass orders of jelly cups and disposable food containers, the automated production line can run stably for a long time and shorten delivery cycles.Development Trend of Thermoforming Equipment Under the Global Eco-friendly Wave

Lightweight design, recyclability and biodegradability are the core trends of the packaging industry. If packaging enterprises plan to launch eco-friendly products, they cannot only replace raw materials. Production equipment also needs corresponding upgrades.

Old-style machines consume high energy and generate high reject rates when processing biodegradable materials. Wasted raw materials indirectly increase carbon emissions. New thermoforming machines focus on energy consumption optimization. Servo systems output power on demand to save more electricity compared with traditional models. Besides, they support thin-gauge sheet forming to reduce raw material consumption and realize packaging lightweighting. With a number of invention patents, Shantou Longsheng Industrial continuously optimizes the mechanical structure and control system of thermoforming machines. We help packaging manufacturers achieve mass production of PLA and cornstarch biodegradable products and meet eco-friendly packaging regulations worldwide.
