Coffee Tray Production Line | Coffee Cup Holder Making Machine
The coffee tray production line—also known as a coffee cup holder making machine or coffee sleeve machine—is specialized equipment for producing molded pulp packaging designed specifically for coffee cups and beverage containers. This eco-friendly solution transforms waste paper into protective, insulating cup holders that have become essential for coffee shops, cafes, and beverage distributors worldwide.
Just like our egg tray and wine tray production lines, the coffee tray production line uses the same proven technology with specialized molds designed for coffee cup shapes. This versatility makes it an excellent investment for businesses looking to enter the molded pulp packaging industry.

Vollständiger Produktionsprozess
The coffee tray production line follows the same proven process as egg tray and wine tray production—the technology is identical, with only the mold shapes differing. Here are the five main stages:
1. Pulpe-System
Der Prozess beginnt mit der Umwandlung von Abfallpapier in brauchbare Pulpe:
- Rohstoffe (Zeitungen, Pappe, Büropapier) werden in die Pulper-Maschine
- Water is added, and the mixture is thoroughly agitated
- Pulp is stored and processed through mixing tanks
- Pulpekonzentration wird mit dem Homogenisator angepasst
2. Formgebungssystem
The prepared pulp is transformed into coffee cup holder shapes:
- Pulpe aus dem Versorgungstank wird in die Formmaschine eingespeist
- Das Vakuumsaug-System zieht Pulpe in die Formenhohlräume
- Coffee cup-shaped molds create the specific design
- Das Transportsystem bewegt die geformten Produkte zu Trockenträgern
Key Equipment: Forming machine, coffee cup molds, vacuum pump, air compressor
3. Trocknungssystem
Formed coffee holders require proper drying:
- Natürliche Trocknung: Sun drying in a favorable climate (24-48 hours)
- Backstein-Ofentrocknung: Traditional tunnel dryer using various fuel sources
- Metall-Trockner (empfohlen): Multi-layer dryer with 30-40 minutes drying time
We recommend our egg tray dryer for consistent, year-round production.
4. Heißpresse (optional)
For premium coffee cup holders, a hot press machine enhances surface smoothness and insulation properties:
- Smooths the surface for a better appearance
- Erhöht die strukturelle Festigkeit
- Enhances insulation properties
5. Packaging
The final stage prepares finished products for distribution:
- Automatic stacking for efficient handling
- Bundling and packaging for shipping
Our egg tray packing machine can also be used for coffee holder packaging.
