Join the Eco-Friendly Movement with Our High-Performance Paper Straw Making Machine

1. Cutting the Raw Material into Strips
The process starts with large rolls of high-quality, food-safe paper. These rolls are cut into narrow strips of uniform width that will be used to make the straws.
2. Feeding Paper Strips into Brackets
The cut strips are placed in brackets in a straw-making machine. Depending on the design of the straw, these strips may consist of multiple layers (typically three or four) to improve durability and functionality.
3. Gluing the Paper Strips
A non-toxic, water-based adhesive is applied to the strips. This glue is important for holding the layers together as they are wound up. The glue must be safe for food contact because it will come in direct contact with beverages.
4. Spiral Winding Process
The glued strips are wound around a mandrel in a spiral fashion. This step shapes the strips into the cylindrical shape associated with straws and gives them structural integrity.
5. Shaping and Final Bonding
As the paper wraps around the mandrel, additional glue bonds all of the layers together securely. This step ensures that straw holds its shape and has enough thickness to be durable.
6. Cutting to Length
After being shaped, long tubes are cut into individual straws at a cutting station so that all straws produced will be uniform in length according to industry standards.
7. Drying Paper Straws
Once cut, straws are placed in drying chambers where they dry out after being cut . This step is important for setting up glue so that straws maintain their shape during use . Depending on manufacturer , this can involve natural air drying or temperature controlled drying units .
