LM-W4-140 High Speed Cup Outer Wrap Machine
LM-W4-140 high speed cup outer wrap machine: inner cup up to 110 mm, height 139 mm, 120-140 pcs/min, 9.5 kW, 5,300 kg.
Quick Answer: What Is The LM-W4-140?
The LM-W4-140 is a high speed cup outer wrap machine that applies a printed outer wrap or sleeve around finished cups at 120-140 pcs/min. It is powered by 9.5 kW, needs 0.5 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-W4-140 wraps an outer wall around a finished paper cup to make double wall and insulated cups. It handles inner cups up to 110 mm in top diameter and 139 mm high at 120-140 pcs/min.
The double rotation plates structure is what makes this speed possible: cups are handled on two rotating plates, so wrapping happens while the next cup is already in position.
What Is A High Speed Cup Outer Wrap Machine?
A high speed cup 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-W4-140 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:
- 120-140 pcs/min – highest wrap speed in our range
- Double rotation plates structure – continuous wrapping cycle
- Inner cup up to 110 mm – covers coffee and drink cups
- Change parts for cup types – switch cup sizes by changing parts
- Low 9.5 kW power – cheap to run next to a cup machine
- Works with cups and bowls – one wrap machine for the whole range
Application:
The LM-W4-140 is bought by factories that want to move up market:
- Double wall hot cups for coffee chains
- Insulated cups that replace plastic cups
- Ripple wall and embossed wall cups
- Premium cups for hotel and airline service
Pairing a cup machine with the LM-W4-140 roughly doubles the value of every cup produced, which is why most growing factories add a wrap machine second.
Machine Parameters:
| Item | Specification |
| Model | LM-W4-140 |
| Inner Cup Size | Diameter up to 110 mm, height up to 139 mm |
| Production Speed | 120-140 pcs/min |
| Power Supply | 380 V / 9.5 kW, 50 Hz |
| Air Consumption | 0.5 m³/min |
| Net Weight | 5,300 kg |
| Dimension | L2790 × W1420 × H1800 mm |
How Does The LM-W4-140 Work?
The LM-W4-140 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:
- Double Rotation Plates Structure: two plates share the wrapping cycle, which is how the machine reaches 140 pcs/min without jams.
- Change Part Cup Switching: one machine covers several cup diameters by swapping change parts instead of buying a second machine.
- Low Power Consumption: only 9.5 kW, so wrapping adds little to your cost per cup.
- Double Wall Value Add: double wall cups sell at a premium and are replacing plastic cups in many markets.
- Matched To Cup Output: 120-140 pcs/min pairs cleanly with our high speed cup machines.
What Can The LM-W4-140 Produce?
| Product | Typical Size | End Use |
| Double wall coffee cup | 80-95 mm | Coffee chains, offices |
| Insulated drink cup | 90-110 mm | Hot drink brands |
| Double wall bowl | up to 110 mm | Soup and noodle bowls |
| Premium takeaway cup | 90-110 mm | Hotels, airlines |
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 | 8,400 cups |
| Per 10-hour shift | 10 h | 84,000 cups |
| Per day (2 shifts) | 20 h | 168,000 cups |
| Per month (26 days, 2 shifts) | 520 h | 4,368,000 cups |
Figures are calculated at the rated top speed of 120-140 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-W4-140 The Right Machine For Your Factory?
Choose the LM-W4-140 if:
- You want printed, double-wall style cups without paying for double-wall board.
- You need 120-140 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.
