Double Station TakeAway Box Machines for Environmentally friendly  takeaway boxes

As global environmental awareness grows and plastic restriction policies deepen, the market for degradable eco-friendly takeaway boxes is experiencing rapid expansion. Double Station TakeAway Box Machines, with their efficient and flexible production capabilities, have become key equipment driving the upgrading of the environmental packaging industry. These machines achieve breakthroughs in material utilization, production efficiency, and eco-performance through dual-station collaborative design, providing sustainable packaging solutions for the food service sector.​

1. Core Advantages of Dual-Station Technology​

The dual-station design enables parallel production on two lines, doubling output compared to traditional machines. For example, the LB-2000 model from Zhejiang Labo Machinery Group produces 100-180 pieces per minute using intelligent synchronization control to optimize material distribution and process parameters. It handles materials like 200-620 GSM corrugated paper (up to 1.6mm thickness) and adapts to box sizes (100-450mm length, 100-600mm width, 15-200mm height), meeting diverse needs from fast food to fresh produce packaging.​

Energy efficiency is a key highlight: the 3.7kW servo motor system cuts energy use by over 30% versus conventional models, with minimal air consumption (0.5MPa, 0.4m³/min). This complies with EU CE environmental standards, enhancing export competitiveness while reducing operational costs.​

2. Compatibility with Eco-Materials and Process Innovation​

These machines excel in adapting to sustainable materials. Beyond corrugated paper, they process agricultural waste composites like wheat straw fiber and ramie fiber. Blending these fibers into rigid sheets through needle punching, then impregnating with starch-based coatings, creates boxes with 40% better water/heat resistance and 25% lower costs.​

For bioplastic materials like PLA (polylactic acid), precise temperature control (190-220℃) ensures optimal molding. PLA boxes degrade in 6-12 months without harmful emissions, aligning with global standards to reduce plastic use, as outlined in China's Green Takeaway Management Guidelines.​

3. Industrial Upgrading and Circular Economy Practices​

Dual-station machines integrate into smart production-recycling loops. On the manufacturing side, automation integration boosts daily output to 120,000 units with 60% lower labor costs. In recycling, standardized corrugated boxes enter closed-loop systems, while PLA boxes convert to organic fertilizer via composting, completing the "production-consumption-recycling" cycle.​

Policy support accelerates adoption: China's Plastic Pollution Control Action Plan (2020-2025) promotes large-scale recycling, with Beijing increasing paper-based box recycling rates to 80%. This tech-policy synergy drives the replacement of traditional plastic packaging.​

4. Challenges and Future Directions​

While effective, challenges include high initial costs (USD 19,000-20,000 per unit) and unstable material supply chains. Future innovations may focus on modular design for lower maintenance and IoT-enabled remote monitoring to enhance reliability. Collaboration with material suppliers will optimize processing for emerging eco-materials like PLA, addressing heat deformation issues.​

ZHIXIN's Double Station TakeAway Box Machine has two production lines in, it can double the output at one time, the machine can produce all kinds of cartons such as takeaway box, fried chicken box, lunch box and so on, the production speed can be up to 100 pieces per minute. And it is equipped with automatic detection and paper feeding function.
