Biodegradable plate making machine is specifically designed to produce biodegradable tableware plates from natural materials like bagasse and wheat straws. It provides a 100% eco-friendly food packaging solution for the food service and catering industries. Businesses investing in this area can significantly reduce their plastic footprint while meeting consumer demands for sustainable options. Read on for more details.
Biodegradable tableware market is a growing segment within the food packaging industry. This market encompasses eco-friendly products like plates, bowls, and cups made from biodegradable materials such as pulpboard, sugarcane waste, bamboo.
Disposable plastic or foam tableware packaging takes 100-500 years to decompose, causing long-term land and water pollution. Biodegradable food plates decompose faster (2-3 months) and have less environmental impact. This reduces plastic pollution and pressure on landfills.
Producing disposable plastic food plates consumes non-renewable petroleum resources. Renewable resources like pulpboard to manufacture pulp molded products help conserve non-renewable resources and promote the use of renewable materials.
In the context of the “plastic restriction orders” and “plastic ban orders” issued by many governments worldwide, biodegradable pulp molded products have become the main substitute due to their biodegradable characteristics.
Pulp molded products can replace some plastic packaging and provide similar protective and food storage functions. Many food service providers are willing to adopt eco-friendly alternatives to enhance corporate social responsibility (CSR) while meeting customer needs.
The technologies used in biodegradable plates machine are continuously advancing. The quality, functionality, portability, convenience, durability, and aesthetic appeal of biodegradable tableware are improving. This attracts the interest of both consumers and businesses.
Plastic plates can release harmful chemicals when they come into contact with hot food. Biodegradable food plates made from natural materials are generally free from such chemicals. Customers prefer to choose healthier and safer food packaging.
Raw materials such as pulpboard or plant fiber undergo pretreatment processes such as crushing and pulping to convert them into pulp suitable for molding. During this process, the fiber structure of raw materials is destroyed, allowing the fibers to be evenly distributed in the mold in subsequent steps.
The pulp is injected into a customized mold. The mold with a specific shape and size can precisely control pulp distribution and shaping. In the mold, the pulp is subjected to a certain amount of pressure, causing the fibers to be intertwined and tightly combined to form a wet blank with a certain strength and shape.
After the wet blank is formed, it needs to be dried. Through drying methods such as hot air and electric heating, the water in the wet blank is quickly evaporated, the fibers are more tightly bonded, and the wet blank gradually solidifies into a semi-finished product with a certain hardness and stability.
The semi-finished products after drying need to be sorted and processed. This includes processes such as removing excess corners, polishing the surface, and applying a waterproof layer to improve the appearance quality and practicality of the packaging container. Finally, biodegradable products are completed.
The machine uses pulp or fiber materials like pulpboard, sugarcane bagasse, and bamboo to manufacture food-grade tableware packaging. The production process requires minimal chemical additives so that the eco-friendly tableware packing can naturally decompose within three months.
The pulp manufacturing process requires substantial water usage. During production, Beston biodegradable plate making machine has implemented zero wastewater discharge. All water resources are recycled internally and not discharged externally.
Beston biodegradable paper plate making machine (also called pulp molding tableware machine) manufactures the following products. By changing molds, this eco-friendly machine can make different products. Contact Beston Group now to get biodegradable plate making machine price!
The eco-friendly plate making machine is mainly divided into semi-automatic and fully automatic types. The main difference lies in whether manual transmission of pulp molded products is required during production. Here’s a guide to help you choose the right machine based on your needs. For personalized recommendations, feel free to contact our project consultants.
Key Considerations:
Semi-automatic equipment has a lower degree of automation, requiring manual transmission of biodegradable pulp tableware products multiple times during production.
Multi-joint mechanical arms and trimming machines equip the fully automatic equipment, making the operation process entirely automated. Workers only need to collect the final products Only manually at the end stage.

After purchasing a biodegradable tableware manufacturing machine and starting production, you can distinguish your business in the market and attract more attention and customers by implementing the following strategies:
Our comprehensive service covers project consultation, tailored solutions, equipment procurement, eco-friendly plate making machine installation, and ongoing operations. All for your convenience and project success!
Customers can add waterproof and oil-proof agents during the production process according to their own needs. The proportion should be 3% for the waterproof agent and 1% for the oil-proof agent.
Normally, machine process food-grade products in a sealed, dust-free environment, and heat molds to a temperature of 200°C, which generally inhibits bacterial growth. However, if requested by the customer, we can add a UV sterilization line before packaging.
Please be cautious during dismantling due to the weight of the molds. Firstly, ensure personal safety, and secondly, avoid damaging the surface of the mold. When placing the mold, use some products to protect its surface.
Based on customer requirements, we can produce samples after customers purchase biodegradable plate making machine. Once the customer confirms the final product, we proceed with the production of equipment and molds.
We can send two technicians to direct the installation and operation of the biodegradable plates machine, and train operators for customer. Customers should be in charge of relevant personnel expenses. Additionally, customer needs to prepare in advance:
