VihoX-660-A automatic plastic cup making machine: 660×320 mm forming area, 0.3–2.0 mm sheet thickness, forming depth up to 180 mm and 15–35 cycles/min reference. Runs PP, PS, PET, PVC and PLA sheet to produce water cups, yogurt cups and jelly cups. Custom mold, factory running test with video before shipment, AC380V/50Hz (customizable to your local voltage).
The VihoX-660-A is a Type A automatic plastic cup thermoforming machine for disposable cup production. It feeds plastic sheet roll, heats it, forms the cup with a matched mold, cuts the cup from the sheet and stacks the finished cups in one continuous sequence.
It is the entry model of the VihoX series and is built for small and medium cup sizes — water cups, yogurt cups and jelly cups — where stable daily output and simple maintenance matter more than maximum forming area. Sheet is fed as finished thermoforming sheet roll; the machine does not process plastic granules directly.
The VihoX series is available in three drive configurations. Selecting the type is a question of product precision, output requirement and budget — not simply of price.
| Type | Upper mold drive | Lower mold drive | Sheet feeding | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A (this model) | Cylinder | Hydraulic | Standard | Entry-level volume production; simple structure, low maintenance cost |
| B | Servo | Hydraulic | Standard | Higher forming precision and stability; products with strict wall-thickness requirements |
| C | Servo | Servo | Servo | Full servo control; the most stable cycle and lowest energy loss for long continuous runs |
The VihoX-660-A uses the Type A configuration: a cylinder-driven upper mold with a hydraulic lower clamp. It is a practical choice for buyers who need reliable cup output, straightforward operation and low running cost, and who plan to add cup types by changing molds rather than by upgrading the machine.

How to read these figures
Cup diameter, cup height and cup weight are decided by the mold. Send us your cup photo or drawing and we will confirm whether the VihoX-660-A covers it — if your cup is larger or deeper, the VihoX-720 or VihoX-750 family is the correct direction, and we will tell you so directly.
| Material | Typical cups | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PP | Water cups, hot drink cups, general disposable cups | Good toughness and heat resistance |
| PS | Jelly cups, lightweight food cups | Good thermoforming performance |
| PET | Clear cold drink cups, transparent packaging cups | High transparency; needs suitable sheet quality and temperature control |
| PVC | Industrial and special applications | Confirm local regulations and market requirement before selection |
| PLA | Eco-oriented cups and containers | Narrower processing window; drying and temperature control must be confirmed by trial |
Sheet roll → sheet feeding → heating → forming → cutting / separation → cup stacking → counting and packing
Heating stability drives cup quality; forming decides wall distribution; cutting decides edge quality; stacking decides whether the machine can actually run at speed. A fast former combined with unstable release or manual collection simply moves the bottleneck downstream.
The mold is not an optional accessory — it defines cup size, cavity number, output, product weight, edge quality and production cost. Cup molds are customized to your cup top diameter, bottom diameter, height, weight and target output.
More cavities are not automatically better: the cavity layout must still allow even heating, reliable release and clean cutting. A stable layout is better than an overloaded one.
Matched auxiliary equipment for a VihoX-660-A line typically includes a 3–5 HP chiller for cooling, an air compressor sized to the actual air consumption and duty cycle, and cup stacking, counting and packing equipment matched to your automation level. Existing equipment can be reused when it is technically suitable.
A stable disposable cup production line normally combines sheet production, cup forming, molds, cooling, air supply, stacking, packing and scrap recycling. If you want to control sheet thickness, width, colour and formulation — or reuse edge trim — a sheet extrusion line may be worth evaluating; if you already buy sheet roll from a stable supplier, the cup machine with the right mold is enough.

Every machine is powered on and test run before delivery. Buyers can confirm the machine running video, mold testing video, finished cup samples, electrical cabinet and key component photos, packing and loading photos, plus the electrical drawings, manuals and spare-parts list.
You are welcome to visit the factory, arrange a live video machine test, or use a third-party inspector before final payment.
What is the forming area of the VihoX-660-A?
660 × 320 mm, with a maximum sheet width of 680 mm and a maximum forming depth of 150 / 180 mm.
How many cups per hour can it produce?
There is no single fixed number. Theoretical output = actual cycles per minute × mold cavities × 60; real output then depends on your cup size, material, sheet thickness, mold layout and stacking stability. Send us your cup details and target capacity and we will calculate the expected range for your configuration.
Which materials can it run?
PP, PS, PET, PVC and PLA sheet in 0.3–2.0 mm thickness. Material choice affects heating settings and mold design, so confirm the material before the mold is made.
Can it run from plastic granules?
No. This machine uses finished thermoforming sheet roll. To produce cups from raw material, an upstream sheet extrusion line is required.
Is 15–35 cycles/min the guaranteed output?
No. It is the cycle reference under suitable conditions. Guaranteed production depends on the product, material, mold and operating conditions.
What is the difference between Type A, B and C?
Type A uses a cylinder upper mold with hydraulic lower clamp; Type B replaces the upper mold with a servo; Type C uses servo control for both upper and lower mold plus servo sheet feeding. B and C are selected when forming precision, cycle stability or energy efficiency requirements are higher.
Can the mold be customized for my cup?
Yes. Send your cup drawing or sample with diameter, height, weight and target output, and the mold will be designed to match this machine’s forming area and depth.
What information do you need before quoting?
Cup photo or drawing, top diameter, bottom diameter, height, cup weight, material, sheet thickness, target capacity, factory voltage and country, and whether you need a single machine or a complete production line.
Send us your cup photo or drawing, cup size, material, cup weight, target output, factory voltage and country. Our engineering team will confirm whether the VihoX-660-A fits your product and provide a factory-direct quotation with the matched mold and auxiliary configuration.
