What to Send When You Request a Cup Machine Quote

“Price for a cup machine” is not a specification. The list below is what we use to name FS, HSS, or LS and to refuse a number we cannot build.

Selection stalls when the email is a capacity slogan and a phone number. Engineers can name a machine when the cup and the factory are both described. Sales can only forward what you attach.

Minimum pack

ItemWhy it changes the model
Drawing or sampleRim, height, and draft pick 120 / 150 / 180 mm and the platen
ResinPP, PS, PET, or PLA changes drying, mold temperature, and sometimes the extruder
Good cups per monthSets cavities × real cpm, not the brochure 50
Shifts and hours20 hours is not 24. Ramadan staffing is not a European three-shift sheet
Voltage and frequency380V/50Hz is standard; 60Hz must be said before the motor is wound
Air and cooling you have2.5–4.0 m³/min and a real chiller, or we include them

Use the quote form. If you already know the family, link the series: FS, HSS, or LS. Mold questions go with the drawing to the tooling page so cavity pitch is not invented in the email.

Two inquiries, two outcomes

“500 ml water cup, PP, 8 million/month, 380V, Egypt” can be turned into a cavity check the same day. “Best price, high speed, food grade” cannot. The second email gets a checklist back. The first gets a model to confirm. Lead time of 35–45 working days is discussed only after that model and the mold drawing are accepted.

Attach these files

  • PDF or photo of the section, with dimensions
  • Resin grade if you have it, or “PP homopolymer” is enough to start
  • Monthly good cups and hours per day
  • Country, voltage, frequency
  • Whether you need sheet, mold, stacker, or only the former
  • A person who can answer when the drawing is wrong

Frequently asked questions

Can you quote from a photo of a cup?

A photo starts the conversation. A section drawing, or a sample we can cut, is what freezes cavities and depth. Expect the price to move when the drawing arrives.

How fast is a quotation?

A complete pack — drawing, resin, monthly output, voltage — is usually answered with a model and a gap list, not with a guess at cavities. Missing depth is the item that stalls us.

When does the 35–45 day lead time start?

After order confirmation and a signed mold drawing. It does not start from the first inquiry, and it does not include ocean freight.

Who do I send it to?

The quote form, or support@amtmachinery.com. Phone +86 18682132326. There is no WhatsApp desk on this site.
