Recommended machine: Plastic Cup Making Machine

Related support: Three-Station Thermoforming Machine

Suitable Materials

• PP for food bowls and heat-resistant applications
• PS/HIPS for rigid bowl products
• PET when clear appearance is needed

Machine Selection Logic

• Use a plastic cup making machine for deep round bowls, soup bowls and cup-shaped food bowls.
• Compare with a three-station thermoforming machine if the bowl is wide, shallow or closer to a food container.
• Confirm bowl diameter, height, rim shape, material, sheet thickness and cavity layout before mold design.
• Stacking stability is important because bowls can deform or jam if the mold and stacker are not matched.
