LM-L3-65 Medium Speed Paper Lid Machine
LM-L3-65 medium speed paper lid machine: max lid diameter 115 mm, height 25 mm, 65 pcs/min, 15 kW, 4,000 kg.
Quick Answer: What Is The LM-L3-65?
The LM-L3-65 is a medium speed paper lid machine that forms paper lids that snap onto matching cups at 65 pcs/min. It is powered by 15 kW, needs 0.5 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-L3-65 produces paper lids for cups and bowls up to 115 mm in diameter at 65 pcs/min. It is the medium speed partner to our cup and bowl machines, sized for factories running one or two forming lines.
The drink hole is made to your drawing, and the machine can be supplied with an independent turret water line unit for stable production.
What Is A Medium Speed Paper Lid Machine?
A medium speed paper lid 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-L3-65 keeps every station in mechanical phase. That is why it can hold 65 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:
- Lids up to 115 mm – fits cups and bowls
- 65 pcs/min – matches a medium speed cup or bowl line
- Integral lid forming base – accurate lid shape
- Open cam box – easy inspection and maintenance
- Full automatic oiling – low wear in continuous running
- Robot arm with cup ejector – reliable lid removal
- Custom drink hole – shape per customer drawing
Application:
The LM-L3-65 is installed by:
- Cup and bowl factories adding a lid product
- Converters supplying regional beverage brands
- Factories replacing plastic lids with paper lids
- Private label packaging programmes
At 65 pcs/min it is sized for one medium speed line, so you do not over invest in lid capacity before cup demand grows.
Machine Parameters:
| Item | Specification |
| Model | LM-L3-65 |
| Lid Size | Max diameter 115 mm, height 25 mm |
| Production Speed | 65 pcs/min |
| Power Supply | 380 V / 15 kW, 50 Hz |
| Air Consumption | 0.5 m³/min |
| Net Weight | 4,000 kg |
How Does The LM-L3-65 Work?
The LM-L3-65 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:
- Integral Lid Forming Base: one-piece base holds lid roundness so lids seat tightly on the cup rim.
- Open Cam Box: cams can be checked and oiled without dismantling the machine.
- Robot Arm With Cup Ejector: lids are positively ejected, preventing the stacking jams common on lid machines.
- Custom Drink Hole: the punch is made to your drawing for sip hole or straw slot.
- 65 pcs/min Matching: capacity matched to one medium speed cup or bowl machine.
What Can The LM-L3-65 Produce?
| Product | Typical Size | End Use |
| Cup lid | 80-95 mm | Coffee and tea cups |
| Drink lid | 95-115 mm | Cold drink cups |
| Bowl lid | 115 mm | Soup and salad bowls |
| Custom lid | per drawing | Private label programmes |
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 | 3,900 lids |
| Per 10-hour shift | 10 h | 39,000 lids |
| Per day (2 shifts) | 20 h | 78,000 lids |
| Per month (26 days, 2 shifts) | 520 h | 2,028,000 lids |
Figures are calculated at the rated top speed of 65 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-L3-65 The Right Machine For Your Factory?
Choose the LM-L3-65 if:
- You already run our cup machines and want lids made in-house to match the rim exactly.
- You need 65 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.
