PMC 1003 Cup/Container Forming Machine
PMC's fastest two-piece former, aimed at large producers of hot and cold drink cups, dairy and frozen-dessert tubs, and snack containers. It forms tapered paperboard or plastic cups from pre-printed die-cut sidewall blanks and a web-fed bottom roll. A PLC panel with diagnostics and an optional reject diverter make in-run quality checks easier.

Where it fits
The PMC 1003 suits a large-scale producer of hot and cold drink cups, dairy tubs or snack containers that needs the highest throughput in this catalog, at up to 330 pieces per minute from pre-printed die-cut blanks and web-fed bottom stock. As a premium US-built machine it carries a higher investment and likely longer lead time than the Asian formers in this catalog, which fits a buyer prioritizing established supply and support over upfront cost. A smaller or growing converter not yet running near this volume would get better value from the Ruida RD-230A or Win Shine WS-PCA at a fraction of the throughput and cost.
Confirm before you order
- Confirm electrical supply of 100 kVA three-phase is available or budgeted for the plant
- Check compressed air (135 ft3/min at 90 psi) and vacuum (35 ft3/min at 18 in Hg) utility capacity
- Verify lead time and pricing directly with PMC given the premium positioning of this model
