Analysis Of The Production Process Of Instant Noodle Paper Cups

Paper cups for instant noodles are widely accepted as a packing solution because they are convenient and have environment-friendly features. Their production process needs to be appreciated in order to appreciate the positive environmental impact they make and their quality. As such, this article explains the production of these cups gradually in order to emphasize some of the important phases in their manufacture.

Raw Material Selection

The selection of raw materials is the first step in the process of manufacture of instant noodle paper cups. The major component is paper which is now made from either virgin wood pulp or recycled paper. In most cases, for a more waterproof resistant cups manufacturers will employ sturdy papers that stand the heat of hot liquids. Such papers are often reprocessed to make them stronger and more durable.

Paper Pulp Processing

The next step after the selection of raw paper is paper pulp processing. The procedure includes the pulling tissue, fibers, and combining them with water to form slurries. After the preproduction pulp is prepared, it will be even refined and whitened if required to reach proper whiteness and pulp uniformity. This stage guarantees that the paper is delicate like a very fine product and devoid of any dirt particles, which is essential for the manufacture of heavy duty cups.

Forming the Cup

The next step is to form the paper into cups. A cup-shaped form is fed into the mold which has already processed the paper pulp into a soggy mess. For the instant noodle cup to keep its shape and to withstand that of the noodles, this procedure is usually accomplished through the application of heat together with pressure. Afterward, the cups are cooled down, and overhang cutting is completed within the cups to remove any excess paper.

Coating and Printing

With the exception of the paper cups where this is quite uncommon, the paper cups are protected from moisture and extreme heat using a protection coating like the polyethylene. It is useful to avoid leaks and also helps in reinforcing the walls of the cup when liquids are poured and sealed in it. After coating the inside of the cups, some designs and drawings or branding and product statements may be printed on the cups. This adds beauty and includes critical information to consumers.

Quality Control and Packaging

Shipping of the cups is only after they have passed the severe quality control process that is to employ industry accepted standards on the cups. This consists of estimations of the cups’ strength, the heat resistance of the cups, and the likelihood of the cups having any imperfections. Once the cups are confirmed to be up to standard, they are packed and prepared for transportation and or sales. The packing material has been made in a way that will encase the cups when they are being transported in order to have them in good shape.
