Coffee to go with highly dynamic AC drives

Can you think of any other day-to-day product for which the demands for practicality are as great as the paper cup? With a paper cup machine from the BMP 100 series that produces up to 180 cups per minute, Michael Hörauf Maschinenfabrik provides a quality guarantee. A powerful inverter drive from Yaskawa ensures a particularly high level of control despite heavy electrical and mechanical loads.

Highly dynamic inverter drive ensures the highest control quality

The coffee “to go” tastes of freshly ground beans. The hot drink warms your stomach without burning your fingers, and can be enjoyed without spilling a single drop. Even though we don’t often pay a great deal of attention to paper cups, they must fulfill high quality standards day after day. At the same time, billions of identical products have to be produced in a cost-efficient manner. 

The machines that make it possible to meet these demands are provided by Michael Hörauf Maschinenfabrik GmbH and Co. KG, a traditional company based in the Swabian town of Donzdorf. In addition to high-end machines for the efficient production of paper cups, the company’s portfolio also includes individual solutions for branded companies for in-house production of laminated paper packaging.

The BMP 100 Compact from the BMP 100 machine series is designed to economically produce cups for hot and cold beverages (e.g. coffee). In contrast, the BMP 100 Super is designed to produce large-volume packaging cups (e.g. for snacks, popcorn, noodles). Both machines can work both on the blank (paper segment) and on the roll. Depending on the size, cycle rates of up to 180 cups per minute can be achieved. The company’s expertise is based on many years of experience and a broad knowledge in the field of reshaping and joining paper or paper composite.
