Introduction
The demand for sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic tableware has driven innovation in eco-friendly production methods. Bagasse—the fibrous residue remaining after sugarcane juice extraction—has emerged as a viable raw material for manufacturing biodegradable and compostable plates, bowls, and cups.
Raw Material For Sugarcane Bagasse Plate Making
Molded Fiber pulp sheets serve as the essential raw material for producing disposable plates, available at affordable market prices. The transformation of waste sugarcane bagasse into usable Molded Fiber pulp sheets involves mechanical and chemical stock preparation processes.
Machinery and Systems Required
Pulping System
The pulping system breaks down pulp sheets and transforms them into slurry. The desired consistency is between 0.3 to 0.5% pulp consistency. Manufacturers enhance plate properties by adding water and oil-resistant chemicals.
Tableware Forming Machines
Parason's Automatic Tableware Forming Machine uses advanced technology to shape bagasse pulp into sturdy plate structures.
Tableware Trimming Machine
The Edge Trimming Machine cuts excess material and ensures consistent sizing according to specifications.
Tableware Molds
Manufacturers require various mold designs to produce different bowl and plate styles.
Key Features of Bagasse Tableware
- Biodegradable and compostable
- Oil and water-resistant
- Microwave-safe
- Recyclable in paper mills
Production Capacity
A single Tableware Forming Machine produces approximately 0.5 tons per day. A facility with six forming machines can produce 3 tons daily.
