How to choose a good set of paper straw production equipments?

If you want to start paper straw business, normally not only buy one machine, but need to buy full set production equipments, here are some important tips for helping you select correct paper straw production machines which can meet your needs exactly.

1. Do adequate market research

Whether you are starting a new paper straw business or expanding the original paper straw production scale, adequate market research is very necessary.

The survey content mainly includes the wholesale price of paper straws, quality requirements, such as thickness, hardness, environmental protection requirements, which style is popular? Straight or bended? Original paper color or printed color? The biggest usage is for normal drink or hot drink? Package requirement? And etc. You should try to get as more information as possible.

2. Determine the appropriate investment decision budget

According to the survey results, determine the investment decision that suits you, such as investment budget, production content, production capacity target, etc. Optimize investment effectiveness as much as possible to obtain a high ROI.

One more thing you should consider is the factory space, so you should provide enough space for the full packing functions, such as space for machine, storage of paper straws, raw materials, and the area for the operators, such as in-feeding unite, take-away conveyor etc.

3. Choose the right production equipment

Choose the most suitable production equipment according to your determined investment decision. If the determined paper straw production line covers the entire chain, you need to purchase paper slitting machines, paper printing machines, paper straw making machines, bending machines, beveling machines and packaging machines.

But if you only determine to invest in part of the production process, you only need to purchase the corresponding production equipment. At the same time, you’d better select equipment or multiple equipment with suitable production speed to meet the planned capacity demand.

4. Evaluation of suppliers

It’s important to evaluate whether the supplier is professional and cooperative. Professional suppliers will take the initiative to ask for relevant information to ensure that they provide the correct products. Meanwhile you can evaluate the supplier during the communication, profession, timeliness, or other certifications. Of course, under the premise of ensuring quality, you can choose a supplier with a more competitive price.

5. Installation and after-sales service

Clearly determine the terms of installation and after-sales service with the supplier. Normally you will buy full set machines to produce paper straws, so it is more professional and difficult in installation, debugging, troubleshooting and maintenance. Therefore, excellent after-sales service and operator training are very important, otherwise a lot of trouble will cause headaches for buyers.

For installation and commissioning services, GF Machine provides you a complete equipment installation guide manual and a video of full details machine installation and assist you till the end.
