How to Use Special-Shaped Container Machine for Food

Jan 26, 2026

To efficiently operate your special-shaped container machine and maximize its performance on the production line, you need to combine equipment characteristics, food safety standards, and process optimization. Let's take New Debao's intelligent food-grade custom container equipment as an example – this guide will walk you through the entire process, from pre-startup preparation to post-operation maintenance. We will also provide comparative tests and real-world customer case studies as evidence. The ultimate goal: stable production of aesthetically pleasing, high-performance custom food containers.

 

Laying the Foundation for Safe and Precise Operation

First, ensure the equipment meets food safety certifications. New Debao's machines are ISO9001:2015 and CE certified, and all food-contact parts are made of 304 stainless steel – compliant with GB 4806.9-2016 standards – so you don't have to worry about food contamination. Then, perform the necessary checks based on the type of container you are producing. Check the precision molds for wear, clean any dirt from the automatic feeding system, and calibrate the PLC control system to match your material specifications – whether PP, PETG, or biodegradable materials.

We conducted comparative tests between New Debao and ordinary machines, with the following results: New Debao's pre-startup calibration reduces molding errors to ±0.3 mm, while ordinary machines still have errors as high as ±1.2 mm. This alone can reduce material waste by 8%. If you are doing small-batch custom production, simply load the pre-saved recipes into New Debao's intelligent system. No more repetitive parameter adjustments – saving 60% of preparation time compared to manual debugging.

 

Mastering the Rhythm, Adapting to Flexible Production

Start the equipment step by step: Power on → Start the feeding unit → Start the molding system → Adjust the trimming module. During operation, keep two things in mind: controlling the molding pressure and matching the speed. For fragile materials, such as thin-walled dessert containers, set the New Debao servo-driven pressure system to 0.3-0.5 MPa. For thicker snack containers, the pressure can be increased to 0.6-0.8 MPa to maintain a strong container structure without deformation. A pastry factory in Jiangsu province, using New Debao equipment, reported a 40% increase in efficiency after matching the machine speed with the front-end filling line, achieving a container pass rate of 99.8%. Need to switch between different irregular shapes? New Debao's modular design allows you to change molds in just 5 minutes – compared to 30 minutes or more with ordinary machines. This perfectly matches the "small batch, multi-variety" trend in the food industry.

                         

Extending Equipment Lifespan and Ensuring Stable Production

After equipment shutdown, be sure to follow the "cleaning → calibration → maintenance" process. Use food-grade cleaning agents to scrub the molding cavity and feeding channels, then dry thoroughly to prevent bacterial growth. New Debao's detachable parts make deep cleaning effortless, complying with food machinery hygiene standards.

Data from New Debao's after-sales team shows that consistently following this maintenance plan can extend machine life by 3-5 years and reduce annual maintenance costs by 20%. Their 48-hour on-site service response time is also crucial – a beverage manufacturer in Guangdong reported that their equipment problems were resolved within 12 hours, without any impact on production.

 

Tailored Solutions to Meet Your Needs

Unlike generic machines, New Debao provides one-stop customized solutions for irregularly shaped container equipment. Their R&D team optimizes mold design and process parameters based on your needs – including container structure, capacity, materials, and more. For example, a dairy brand wanted heart-shaped yogurt cups; New Debao adjusted the mold angle and cooling speed, resulting in smooth cup edges and a 30% improvement in product appearance.
