Beverage packaging is the largest application field for tilting cup making machines. Typical programs include water and airline cups (PP, high cavitation), cold drink and smoothie cups (PET, high clarity), and custom branded cups for chain operators. A complete HENGFENG beverage cup line combines an HFSJ extrusion line, HFTF-T cup former, HFJB rimming machine and automatic packing — with in-line crushing returning skeleton waste to the extruder.
