Design
1. Material Selection:
The machine is designed to use recycled or sustainably sourced paper as raw material, ensuring the biodegradability and environmental friendliness of the final product.
2. Machine Components:
The paper stick manufacturing machine consists of several key components:
a. Raw material feeder
b. Paper cutting mechanism
c. Gluing station
d. Paper stick forming unit
e. Drying system (requires separate machine)
The machine utilizes a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) system to automate the entire production process. This allows for precise control of each stage of the paper stick forming process, ensuring consistency and quality in the final product.
3. Operation
3.1 Raw Material Feeding:
Paper rolls are fed into the machine via a raw material feeder. These rolls are carefully selected to ensure their quality and consistency.
3.2 Paper Cutting Mechanism:
A high-precision paper cutting mechanism cuts the paper into appropriately sized strips, ensuring uniformity for each paper stick.
3.3 Gluing Station:
The cut paper strips pass through the gluing station, where a biodegradable adhesive is applied to facilitate stick formation.
3.4 Stick Forming Unit:
The glued paper strips are formed into cylindrical shapes, known as paper sticks. This process is performed with precision to ensure the desired dimensions and structural integrity.
