LM-L4-100 High Speed Paper Lid Making Machine
LM-L4-100 high speed paper lid machine: max lid diameter 100 mm, height 25 mm, 100 pcs/min, 27.5 kW, 4,200 kg.
Quick Answer: What Is The LM-L4-100?
The LM-L4-100 is a high speed paper lid making machine that forms paper lids that snap onto matching cups at 100 pcs/min. It is powered by 27.5 kW, needs 0.6 m³/min of compressed air, and ships in 30-35 working days. It is built for cup factories that want in-house lid supply for their cup range.
The LM-L4-100 makes paper lids for paper cups and bowls, with a maximum lid diameter of 100 mm and a lid height of 25 mm, running at a steady 100 pcs/min. It is the machine that lets a cup factory sell a complete cup plus lid set instead of cups only.
The drink hole shape and position are made to customer specification, so brand owners can match their existing lid design.
What Is A High Speed Paper Lid Making Machine?
A high speed paper lid making machine is an automatic forming machine that turns pre-printed, die-cut paper blanks into finished paper lids 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-L4-100 keeps every station in mechanical phase. That is why it can hold 100 pcs/min with a single operator, and why output stays consistent across long shifts for cup factories that want in-house lid supply for their cup range.
Feature:
- 100 pcs/min – lid output matched to high speed cup lines
- Lid diameter up to 100 mm – fits coffee and drink cups
- Lid height 25 mm – standard paper lid profile
- Custom drink hole – shape and position per customer drawing
- Double cam shaft platform – stable lid forming and curling
- Compact footprint – L2250 x W1420 mm for 4,200 kg
Application:
The LM-L4-100 is installed by:
- Paper cup factories adding a matching lid product
- Packaging converters supplying coffee chains
- Distributors who want cup and lid from one source
- Brands replacing plastic lids with paper lids
Because lids are made from the same PE coated board family as cups, the LM-L4-100 fits into an existing cup factory without a new material chain.
Machine Parameters:
| Item | Specification |
| Model | LM-L4-100 |
| Lid Size | Max diameter 100 mm, height 25 mm |
| Production Speed | 100 pcs/min |
| Power Supply | 380 V / 27.5 kW, 50 Hz |
| Air Consumption | 0.6 m³/min |
| Net Weight | 4,200 kg |
| Dimension | L2250 × W1420 × H1880 mm |
How Does The LM-L4-100 Work?
The LM-L4-100 runs a continuous, fully automatic cycle. One operator loads material and monitors the panel; the stations below run in sequence:
- Blank feeding: Lid blanks are fed from the magazine in a continuous stream.
- Lid forming: The blank is drawn and pressed into the lid profile.
- Rim curling: The lid rim is curled so it snaps firmly onto the matching cup rim.
- Embossing and marking: Logos, size codes or vent marks can be embossed in the same pass.
- Stacking and counting: Finished lids are stacked and counted for packing.
Main Machine Features:
- 100 pcs/min Lid Output: one lid machine can keep pace with a high speed cup line running at similar speed.
- Custom Drink Hole Tooling: the hole punch is made to your drawing, so the lid fits your existing cup design exactly.
- Double Cam Shaft Platform: lid curling needs precise timing to keep the rim round and tight.
- Compact Body: 4,200 kg on a L2250 x W1420 mm footprint fits into most existing factory layouts.
- Paper Lid For Plastic Replacement: meets the demand from markets that are restricting single use plastic lids.
What Can The LM-L4-100 Produce?
| Product | Typical Size | End Use |
| Coffee cup lid | 80-90 mm | Coffee chains, offices |
| Drink cup lid | 90-100 mm | Cold drink brands |
| Bowl lid | 100-115 mm on request | Soup and salad bowls |
| Custom lid | per drawing | Private label brands |
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 lids |
| Per 10-hour shift | 10 h | 60,000 lids |
| Per day (2 shifts) | 20 h | 120,000 lids |
| Per month (26 days, 2 shifts) | 520 h | 3,120,000 lids |
Figures are calculated at the rated top speed of 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-L4-100 The Right Machine For Your Factory?
Choose the LM-L4-100 if:
- You already run our cup machines and want lids made in-house to match the rim exactly.
- You need 100 pcs/min of lid output to stop buying lids from a third party.
- You want one supplier for the cup, the lid and the tooling.
Consider a different model if:
- You buy lids cheaper than you can make them: skip the lid line and invest in forming or wrapping.
- You need several lid diameters at once: check whether one lid machine covers your full range.
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.

FAQs:
What lid sizes does the LM-L4-100 produce?
It produces paper lids up to 100 mm in diameter with a standard lid height of 25 mm, and the drink hole is made to your drawing.
Can one lid machine keep up with my cup machine?
The LM-L4-100 runs at 100 pcs/min, so one lid machine matches one high speed cup line or two medium speed lines.
What utilities does the LM-L4-100 need?
It needs 380 V / 27.5 kW power, 0.6 cubic metres per minute of compressed air, floor space of L2250 x W1420 x H1880 mm and 4,200 kg carrying capacity.
What is the lead time and how is the LM-L4-100 shipped?
Standard lead time is 30 to 35 working days after the deposit. The machine is packed in a fumigated export wooden case with moisture protection, shipped by sea as a full container or groupage, and delivered with a full spare parts kit, tooling set and English manuals.
