LM-W3-100 Cup And Bowl Outer Wrap Machine
LM-W3-100 cup and bowl outer wrap machine: 4-46 oz, inner cup up to 150 mm, 80-100 pcs/min, 5 kW, 3,500 kg.
Quick Answer: What Is The LM-W3-100?
The LM-W3-100 is a cup and bowl outer wrap machine that applies a printed outer wrap or sleeve around finished cups at 80-100 pcs/min. It is powered by 380 V / 5 kW, needs 0.3 m³/min of compressed air, and ships in 30-35 working days. It is built for cup factories that ship printed, double-wall style cups.
The LM-W3-100 wraps an outer wall onto finished cups and bowls from 4 oz to 46 oz, with inner cup diameters up to 150 mm, at 80-100 pcs/min. It is the machine that turns a single wall cup into a double wall, hollow wall or corrugated wall cup.
Three wall styles are available: flat outer wall, hollow outer wall and corrugated outer wall, chosen when you order.
What Is A Cup And Bowl Outer Wrap Machine?
A cup and bowl outer wrap machine is an automatic finishing unit that sits downstream of a cup or bowl forming machine. It takes already-formed containers and applies a printed outer wrap or sleeve around finished cups, so the line keeps running at the speed of the forming machine instead of being limited by manual handling.
On the LM-W3-100 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 that ship printed, double-wall style cups.
Feature:
- 4-46 oz cups and bowls – one machine for cups and bowls
- Inner diameter up to 150 mm – covers bowls as well as cups
- 80-100 pcs/min – matched to medium speed lines
- Three wall styles – flat, hollow or corrugated outer wall
- 150-300 gsm board – standard wrapping board range
- Change parts for different shapes – flexible production
- Only 5 kW power – low running cost
Application:
The LM-W3-100 is used by factories making:
- Double wall coffee cups
- Corrugated wall hot cups
- Insulated bowls for soup and noodles
- Premium cups for hotel and airline service
Because it handles both cups and bowls, one wrap machine can serve several forming lines in a mixed factory.

How Does The LM-W3-100 Work?
The LM-W3-100 runs a continuous, fully automatic cycle. One operator loads material and monitors the panel; the stations below run in sequence:
- Cup infeed: Finished cups are fed in line from the forming machine or a hopper.
- Wrap feeding: The printed outer wrap or sleeve is cut and positioned around the cup.
- Wrapping: The wrap is wound onto the cup body at the wrapping station.
- Sealing: The seam is bonded with hot melt glue or heat so the wrap stays tight.
- Discharge and stacking: Wrapped cups are counted and stacked for packing.
Main Machine Features:
- Cups And Bowls On One Machine: 4-46 oz range with inner diameters up to 150 mm means one wrapper serves both lines.
- Three Wall Styles: flat, hollow and corrugated outer walls give different insulation and hand feel from the same machine.
- Only 5 kW: wrapping adds very little to your cost per cup.
- Change Part Flexibility: switch cup shapes with change parts instead of buying another machine.
- 80-100 pcs/min: matched to our medium speed cup and bowl machines.
What Can The LM-W3-100 Produce?
| Product | Typical Size | End Use |
| Double wall coffee cup | 8-16 oz | Coffee chains, offices |
| Corrugated wall cup | 8-12 oz | Hot drink brands |
| Insulated bowl | 16-46 oz | Soup and noodle bowls |
| Hollow wall cup | 12-20 oz | Premium takeaway |
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 | 6,000 cups |
| Per 10-hour shift | 10 h | 60,000 cups |
| Per day (2 shifts) | 20 h | 120,000 cups |
| Per month (26 days, 2 shifts) | 520 h | 3,120,000 cups |
Figures are calculated at the rated top speed of 80-100 pcs/min and assume steady material supply and normal changeover time. Running smaller sizes or heavier board will sit at the lower end of the range.
Is The LM-W3-100 The Right Machine For Your Factory?
Choose the LM-W3-100 if:
- You want printed, double-wall style cups without paying for double-wall board.
- You need 80-100 pcs/min of wrapping capacity to keep up with your forming machine.
- You sell premium coffee or tea cups where the outer wrap carries the brand.
Consider a different model if:
- You ship plain single-wall cups: a wrapper adds cost with no selling benefit.
- Your volumes are low: manual sleeving is still cheaper at small scale.
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.
