MYC-OCM100 High Speed Intelligent Model Paper Cup Machine is a PLC-controlled paper cup forming machine built for producers who need a fast, stable single-wall cup line with automatic fault protection. It converts printed or plain paper cup blanks into finished drinking cups, and is aimed at converters, cup plants and food-packaging manufacturers planning continuous volume production. Final cup size range, paper GSM and coating compatibility, sealing method, power, air and dimensions are confirmed in the Technical Specifications field and in the quotation drawing; they are not restated here.
What this machine does
The machine takes die-cut paper cup fans and forms them into finished cups through the standard converting sequence: blank feeding, cup body wrapping and side sealing, bottom insertion and bottom sealing, rim curling and finished cup discharge. The intelligent model adds PLC control, sensor-based fault detection and automatic oil lubrication to that mechanical sequence, so the machine stops itself when a fault is detected instead of continuing to run.
Because the machine is a forming unit rather than a complete line, it is normally paired with upstream printing and die cutting and with downstream inspection, sleeve or lid supply and packing. Plan those stages separately unless your quotation confirms otherwise.
Sample display
The image below shows representative single-wall cups produced on this type of machine. Cup diameter, height and wall style for your project should be matched against your own cup drawing or physical sample.

Machine structure
The intelligent configuration combines an open CAM drive with a full gear transmission system and servo motor drive. Together with PLC control and sensor fault detection, this arrangement is intended to keep cup forming accurate and repeatable across long production shifts. Automatic oil lubrication reduces manual lubrication stops and helps protect moving parts during continuous running.

Key configuration highlights
-
PLC control system — centralised control of the forming sequence and machine settings.
-
Sensor fault detection — the machine automatically stops when a problem is detected, improving operating safety and reducing scrap from continued running.
-
Servo motor drive — supports accurate, repeatable motion during cup forming.
-
Open CAM drive and full gear transmission — mechanical layout intended for stable, precise running.
-
Automatic oil lubrication system — reduces manual lubrication intervention during production.
Rated speed and stable production output are different figures. The catalogue speed range is listed in Technical Specifications; the output you can sustain depends on cup size, paper grade, operator skill and downstream handling, so confirm expected stable output with your sample cup during evaluation.
Selection variables to confirm before ordering
Use the table below to prepare the information needed to match the machine to your project. It is a decision checklist, not a parameter list — confirmed values belong in Technical Specifications.
| Decision area |
What to confirm |
Why it matters |
| Cup type and size |
Cup drawing or physical sample with top diameter, bottom diameter and height; single-wall or other wall construction |
Determines the mould set and forming configuration supplied with the machine |
| Paper and coating |
Base paper grade, GSM and coating type (for example PE or other food-contact coating) |
Affects sealing behaviour, cup stiffness and the paper specification you must buy |
| Target output |
Required cups per shift or per day, and the number of shifts planned |
Lets the supplier compare your demand against realistic stable output, not just rated speed |
| Upstream supply |
Printed roll or sheet supply, die cutting capacity and blank format |
The cup machine only forms blanks; upstream capacity must keep pace with it |
| Utilities and site |
Voltage and frequency, compressed air availability, floor space and workshop layout |
Needed to confirm the correct machine build and installation plan |
| Downstream and packing |
Inspection, sleeve/lid supply, counting, bagging or box packing requirements |
Defines whether additional equipment or manual stations are needed |
Typical application scenarios
- Single-wall hot and cold drinking cups for cafes, events and retail beverage programmes.
- Ice cream and dessert cups where a smaller cup format is required.
- Volume cup production where automatic fault stop and lubrication reduce unplanned downtime.
- Plants adding a second or third forming machine alongside existing printing and die cutting capacity.
If your product is a bowl rather than a cup, compare the MYC-DB120 double turn plate paper bowl machine before deciding, since bowl forming uses a different machine configuration.
Project preparation and maintenance planning
- Send the cup drawing or a physical sample early; mould and forming setup follow the cup geometry.
- Confirm paper GSM and coating with your paper supplier before the machine trial, so sealing settings are evaluated on the material you will actually run.
- Plan spare mould sets if you intend to switch between cup sizes; changeover time should be confirmed for your specific size combination.
- Schedule routine checks of the lubrication system, sensor fault detection and drive transmission as part of normal preventive maintenance.
- Confirm the operator training and documentation scope included with your order rather than assuming it.
Quality and verification
Before shipment, agree with the supplier which cup sizes and paper grades will be run and what acceptance criteria apply to cup dimensions, seam and bottom sealing and rim finish. Request the inspection record for your own sample specification. Certification, test reports and customer references should be provided as documented evidence for your project rather than assumed.
Next step
To receive a matched configuration and quotation, send your cup drawing or sample, top/bottom diameter and height, paper type, GSM and coating, target output per shift, voltage and frequency, available air supply, workshop layout and packing requirement. You can also review the MYC-OCM100 intelligent model paper cup machine operation video to see the forming sequence before shortlisting.
