LM-P3-15 Automatic Cup Packing Machine
LM-P3-15 automatic cup packing machine: cup diameter 90-150 mm, stack length 332-700 mm, 15 lines/min, 4.5 kW.
Quick Answer: What Is The LM-P3-15?
The LM-P3-15 is an automatic cup packing machine that counts, bags and seals finished cup stacks automatically at 15 lines/min. It is powered by 380 V / 4.5 kW, needs 0.1 m³/min of compressed air, and ships in 30-35 working days. It is built for cup factories packing for retail and wholesale channels.
The LM-P3-15 collects finished cups from the forming line, counts them, stacks them into sleeves and wraps them in film at 15 lines per minute. It handles cup diameters from 90 mm to 150 mm with packed cup lengths from 332 mm to 700 mm.
It is the machine that removes manual boxing from a cup factory, so output is no longer limited by how fast operators can pack.
What Is An Automatic Cup Packing Machine?
A automatic cup packing machine is an automatic finishing unit that sits downstream of a cup or bowl forming machine. It takes already-formed containers and counts, bags and seals finished cup stacks automatically, so the line keeps running at the speed of the forming machine instead of being limited by manual handling.
On the LM-P3-15 the whole cycle is servo-driven and monitored from one panel: an operator loads material, sets the count and the machine runs unattended. That is what turns a forming line into a finished, packable output for cup factories packing for retail and wholesale channels.
Feature:
- 15 lines/min – automatic counting, stacking and film packing
- Cup diameter 90-150 mm – cups and bowls
- Packed length 332-700 mm – standard and long sleeves
- Automatic film tensioning – tight, consistent packs
- Automatic cup separating and feeding – no manual handling
- Automatic waste collection – clean working area
- Optional air exhaust, colour mark tracking, UV sterilisation
- Film thickness 15-40 μm – standard packing film range
Application:
The LM-P3-15 is used at the end of the line by:
- High speed cup factories replacing manual packing
- Export factories that need consistent packed sleeves
- Bowl producers packing large diameter products
- Factories adding UV sterilisation for food contact markets
One packing machine can serve several forming machines, and it is usually the last step added when a factory scales from two lines to four or more.

How Does The LM-P3-15 Work?
The LM-P3-15 runs a continuous, fully automatic cycle. One operator loads material and monitors the panel; the stations below run in sequence:
- Cup infeed: Counted cup stacks enter the packing line automatically.
- Bag forming: Film is formed into a bag around the stack.
- Sealing and cutting: The bag is sealed and cut to length.
- Output: Finished packs are discharged ready for cartoning.
Main Machine Features:
- Removes Manual Boxing: counting, stacking and film packing run automatically, so packing no longer caps your line output.
- Automatic Film Tensioning: sleeves come out tight and consistent, which is what export cartons need.
- Automatic Waste Collection: offcuts are collected rather than falling on the floor, keeping the packing area clean.
- Optional UV Sterilisation: needed by food contact markets that require sterilised packing.
- Extended Version Available: L2670 body for longer cup sleeves up to 700 mm.
What Can The LM-P3-15 Produce?
| Product | Typical Size | End Use |
| Cup sleeve pack | 90-110 mm cups | Retail and food service cartons |
| Bowl sleeve pack | 110-150 mm bowls | Export cartons |
| Long sleeve pack | up to 700 mm | Bulk catering packs |
| Sterilised pack | all sizes | Food contact export markets |
Output Planning: What Can You Expect Per Shift?
Use these numbers to size the machine against your order book:
| Production Window | Running Time | Output At Rated Speed |
| Per hour | 60 min | 900 packing lines |
| Per 10-hour shift | 10 h | 9,000 packing lines |
| Per day (2 shifts) | 20 h | 18,000 packing lines |
| Per month (26 days, 2 shifts) | 520 h | 468,000 packing lines |
Figures are calculated at the rated top speed of 15 lines/min and assume steady material supply and normal changeover time. Real output depends on board quality, cup size and operator skill.
Is The LM-P3-15 The Right Machine For Your Factory?
Choose the LM-P3-15 if:
- You pack cups 90-150 mm in diameter into stacks 332-700 mm long and want automatic bagging instead of hand packing.
- You ship to retail chains that require sealed, counted packs.
- You want the packing step to keep pace with your forming and inspection machines.
Consider a different model if:
- You ship in bulk cartons without retail packaging.
- Your pack formats change weekly: flexible hand packing may still be simpler.
Send us your container sizes, board specification and target output per month. Our engineers will size the right model and confirm the tooling before you order.
