• Match the machine forming area with cup diameter, cup height, sheet thickness and mold cavity layout.
• Plan cup molds, automatic stacking, air compressor, chiller and packing equipment together with the main machine.
• If local sheet supply is unstable, add a PP/PS/PET sheet extrusion line to control sheet thickness and material cost.
