Quick Answer: What Is The LM-C4-120L?

The LM-C4-120L is a high speed large paper cup machine that forms single and double PE coated paper cups at 110-120 pcs/min. It is powered by 23.4 kW, needs 0.7 m³/min of compressed air, and ships in 30-35 working days. It is built for coffee chains, beverage brands and food service distributors.

The LM-C4-120L is the extended version of our high speed intelligent paper cup machine. It keeps the 110-120 pcs/min output of the LM-C4 platform but opens the size window up to 110 mm cup top diameter and 180 mm cup height, so factories can run large takeaway cups, soup cups and salad cups on one machine.

It is built on the same double cam drive platform: open type double cam drive, continuous automatic spray lubrication, gear transmission, Swiss Lester bottom heating, one-piece machine base and linear guide rail paper feeding.

What Is A High Speed Large Paper Cup Machine?

A high speed large paper cup machine is an automatic forming machine that turns pre-printed, die-cut paper blanks into finished paper cups in one continuous cycle: the blank is fed, the body is formed and side-sealed, a bottom disc is inserted and heat-sealed, the rim is curled, and finished pieces are counted and stacked.

Unlike semi-automatic equipment, which moves cups between stations by hand, a fully automatic machine such as the LM-C4-120L keeps every station in mechanical phase. That is why it can hold 110-120 pcs/min with a single operator, and why output stays consistent across long shifts for coffee chains, beverage brands and food service distributors.

Feature:

  • Extended size window – cup top diameter up to 110 mm, cup height up to 180 mm
  • Open type double cam drive – mechanical precision at 120 pcs/min
  • Continuous automatic spray lubrication – no daily manual oiling stop
  • Gear transmission – all stations stay in phase
  • Swiss Lester bottom heater – leak-free bottoms on heavy board
  • Whole machine base – low vibration at full speed
  • Linear guide rail feeding – accurate blank transfer

Application:

The LM-C4-120L is chosen by factories supplying large format disposable cups:

  • Takeaway soup cups and noodle cups in 110 mm diameter
  • Salad and deli containers with high side walls
  • Large coffee cups and iced drink cups
  • Food service cups with double PE coated board

Single wall and double wall large cups can both be produced, which lets one line cover the whole large cup range of a food service distributor.

How Does The LM-C4-120L Work?

The LM-C4-120L runs a continuous, fully automatic cycle. One operator loads material and monitors the panel; the stations below run in sequence:

  1. Blank feeding: Pre-printed, die-cut fan-shaped blanks are loaded into the magazine and fed one by one.
  2. Body forming: The blank wraps around the mandrel and the side seam is sealed with heat.
  3. Bottom insertion: A bottom disc is punched from the paper roll and placed into the body.
  4. Bottom sealing: The bottom heater bonds and knurls the base so the container is leak-proof.
  5. Rim curling: The top rim is rolled outward for a smooth drinking edge and a tight lid fit.
  6. Counting and stacking: Finished pieces are counted automatically and stacked into sleeves.

Main Machine Features:

  • Double Cam Drive With Extended Stroke: the cam system keeps its timing accuracy even with the longer forming stroke needed for 180 mm high cups.
  • Lester Bottom Heating: stable heat on a large bottom area prevents the leaks that large soup cups suffer from.
  • Whole Machine Base: the heavy one-piece base absorbs the extra force of forming large diameter blanks.
  • Continuous Spray Lubrication: lubrication runs while producing, so wear stays low over long shifts.
  • Linear Guide Rail Feeding: large blanks travel straight into the forming station, cutting jam-related downtime.

Output Planning: What Can You Expect Per Shift?

Use these numbers to size the machine against your order book:

Production WindowRunning TimeOutput At Rated Speed
Per hour60 min7,200 cups
Per 10-hour shift10 h72,000 cups
Per day (2 shifts)20 h144,000 cups
Per month (26 days, 2 shifts)520 h3,744,000 cups

Figures are calculated at the rated top speed of 110-120 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-C4-120L The Right Machine For Your Factory?

Choose the LM-C4-120L if:

  • You need 110-120 pcs/min of steady output and want one machine to cover cups up to 110 mm in diameter and 180 mm in height.
  • You supply coffee chains, beverage brands and food service distributors and need consistent, leak-proof quality on every batch.
  • You want one high speed line instead of two medium speed machines, so floor space and labour stay at one machine.
  • You plan to run two shifts and need the machine to hold tolerance over years, not weeks.

Consider a different model if:

  • Your orders are still small and seasonal: a lower-output model keeps your capital cost down.
  • You only need one fixed size today: a dedicated single-size machine is cheaper than a wide size window.
  • Your main problem is defect rate rather than speed: add an inspection machine before buying more forming capacity.

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.
