MY-ZG100S Paper Lid Making Machine for Cup and Bowl Lids

What the MY-ZG100S Paper Lid Making Machine Does

The MY-ZG100S is a dedicated paper lid (cover) forming machine designed for converters and food-packaging producers who need to match lids to their own cup and bowl production. Rather than forming cups, it converts printed or plain paper board into finished lids through a sequence of feeding, heating, folding, knurling and discharge, with a conveyor belt and counter for collection.

Because lids are a separate component from the cup, this machine is normally specified alongside cup or bowl forming equipment so that lid diameter, rim profile and board grade are matched to the container being closed. It is aimed at producers supplying ice cream cups, soup cups and coffee cups, where lid fit and seal quality directly affect leak performance and customer experience.

Process Sequence and Configuration

The machine is built around a PLC touch-screen control system with an automatic oil lubrication system, automatic roll-paper servo motor feeding, an embossing unit, a punching hole device and hot air heaters. Paper is fed to the mould, then heated, folded, knurled and discharged to the collection unit.

These are configuration items rather than universal features: the embossing unit, punching device and heater arrangement should be confirmed against the lid design you intend to run. Buyers should treat the listed sub-systems as the basis for a quotation discussion, not as a guarantee that every option is included in a standard build.

Selection Variables to Confirm Before Quotation

Lid making looks simple but depends on tight tolerances. The following inputs let a supplier match the machine, tooling and heater settings to your product:

Confirmed values for paper weight, speed and other machine parameters are listed in the Technical Specifications field on this page. Final configuration is to be confirmed against your lid sample.

Paper Matching and Quality Checks

Lid quality is largely decided before the machine runs. Board stiffness, coating uniformity and moisture content influence how the rim folds and how consistently the knurl locks the lid to the cup. A practical acceptance routine usually includes:

• Confirming the board roll width and GSM against the machine's supported range before production.
• Checking lid diameter and rim height against the cup on a sample batch, not only on the drawing.
• Running a fit and leak check with the actual cup and the intended hot or cold fill.
• Verifying embossing depth and hole position if those stations are part of the build.
• Recording heater settings and cycle data so that settings can be repeated after a mould change.

Mould changeover time, waste rate and stable output figures depend on the lid design and operator skill; these should be agreed during trial acceptance rather than assumed from the rated speed.

Line Integration and Related Equipment

The MY-ZG100S is a lid-forming unit, not a complete production line. In most projects it sits beside cup or bowl forming machines, with lids packed separately or fed to a capping step. If your lid is produced from roll stock that needs cutting to width first, review the MY-970 automatic high speed roll die cutting machine as the upstream preparation stage.

For projects where the lid is a raised or convex profile rather than a flat cover, the tooling and forming approach differ; the integrated convex paper cover production solution explains how that configuration is planned. Buyers comparing lid options can also review the MYC-ZG100S automatic paper lid making machine listing for the alternative model reference.

What to Send for Matching

To receive an accurate proposal, send the lid drawing or a physical sample, the matching cup top diameter and rim detail, the board type, coating and GSM, your target output per shift, the available voltage and frequency, air supply details, workshop layout and your preferred packing method. If a lid sample is not yet available, a cup sample plus the intended lid style is enough to start the tooling discussion.
