Deeply Cultivate Core Technologies and Strengthen Technical Advantages — Analysis of Technological Innovations in Pulp Molding Equipment in January 2026

The tightening of global environmental policies and the deepening of plastic ban regulations have driven the pulp molding equipment industry into a period of explosive technological innovation. In January 2026, the industry achieved breakthroughs in four core dimensions: mold optimization, efficient production, intelligent upgrading, and material-equipment synergy, with continuous improvement in technical layout. These advancements have helped promote the transformation of equipment towards high automation, low energy consumption, and high precision, laying a solid foundation for the high-end development of the industry.

Mold Innovation and Technological Breakthroughs

As the core component of pulp molding, mold performance directly determines product precision and production stability. This month, the industry has made remarkable progress in mold technology upgrading and technological breakthroughs. Meiwanbang’s heat insulation and heat dissipation mold base for pulp molding machines has been put into application. Through the design of a multi-layer heat insulation structure, it effectively blocks heat conduction during hot-press molding, reduces frame thermal deformation, significantly improves equipment operation precision and product qualification rate, and fills the gap in high-end heat insulation mold technology. Meanwhile, Huagong Huanyuan continues to make efforts in high-precision molds, launching low-draft angle and small R-angle mold technologies to meet the needs of high-end packaging scenarios; Yongfa Molding’s technologies related to automatic punching solve the pain points of misalignment and burrs in traditional processes, balancing production efficiency and cost control, adapting to mass production scenarios, and comprehensively improving the mold technology system.

Upgrading towards High Efficiency and Intelligence

High efficiency and intelligence have become the core directions of equipment upgrading, adapting to the downstream demand for large-scale and refined production. Multi-station integrated equipment is being promoted at an accelerated pace. The six-station turntable molding machine realizes synchronous operation of multiple processes including sizing, molding, and demolding, with a daily output 1.8-2 times that of traditional models, greatly improving production efficiency. Huagong Huanyuan has launched a variety of special automatic equipment covering segmented scenarios such as egg trays and tableware, realizing full-process automatic operation and shortening the production cycle. Intelligent technologies are deeply integrated: AI visual inspection modules replace manual work, increasing inspection efficiency by more than 5 times and reducing the missed inspection rate to below 0.5%; intelligent production lines can adjust parameters in real time and monitor equipment status, promoting the comprehensive equipment efficiency to increase by more than 30%. Combined with energy-saving control technology, the energy consumption per unit product is reduced by 15%-20%, achieving the dual goals of cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

Material-Equipment Synergy to Expand Application Boundaries

The collaborative innovation of equipment and material processes has effectively solved the performance pain points of pulp molding products and continuously expanded the application boundaries of the industry. Hansen Intelligence has launched a special automatic production line for e-cigarettes, which combines new flame-retardant fiber formulas with precision molding technology to successfully overcome the core problems of flame retardancy and leakage prevention. The product carbon footprint is reduced by 40%, meeting the compliance requirements of international brands. In the medical field, the demand for molding equipment for FDA-certified degradable surgical instrument trays has increased by more than 25% year-on-year. Through precise temperature control, pressure closed-loop control technology, and medical-grade fiber processing technology, it balances high-temperature sterilization adaptability and load-bearing stability. In the industrial field, heavy-duty pulp molding equipment combined with high-strength fiber materials produces shockproof pallets with a load-bearing capacity of up to 50kg, which are 25% lower in cost than traditional EPE foam, helping the green transformation of industrial logistics.

Conclusion

In January 2026, the pulp molding equipment industry achieved multi-faceted breakthroughs in technological innovation and continuous improvement in technical layout. Breakthroughs in three core dimensions—mold innovation, high-efficiency and intelligent upgrading, and material-equipment synergy—have driven the industry towards high-end and green transformation. With the continuous tightening of domestic and foreign environmental policies, such as the EU CBAM carbon tariff and the new domestic plastic ban, the industry is forced to upgrade, and the market demand for high-end equipment will continue to rise. In the future, enterprises need to continuously focus on core technology R&D and technical transformation, deepen the integrated innovation of equipment, materials, and processes, further enhance core competitiveness, help the pulp molding equipment industry achieve high-quality development, and expand the space for global market layout.
