2D Wire Bending Machine: An Efficient Shaping Tool for French Fry Baskets and Snack Containers

In the booming era of the fast food and snack industry, French fry baskets and snack containers, as important food-holding vessels, their production efficiency and quality directly affect the serving speed and brand image of businesses. The 2D wire bending machine, with its precise bending performance and efficient production capacity, has become the core equipment for large-scale production of iron French fry baskets and snack containers, providing a stable and reliable processing solution for the industry.

Targeting the production characteristics of French fry baskets and snack containers, the 2D wire bending machine shows strong adaptability. Its production speed of 8-10 pieces per minute perfectly matches the high-frequency, small-batch and multi-style order demands of the snack industry. Even in the face of sudden order increases, it can quickly respond with a stable output rhythm. When taking a 200*200 square frame as a reference sample, the equipment's efficiency can be increased to 12-15 pieces per minute, fully demonstrating its potential in standardized product production.

The wire diameter processing range of 3-8mm exactly covers the mainstream specifications of French fry baskets and snack containers. The thin 3mm hollow grid wires can effectively drain oil while keeping the food visible; the thick 8mm frame wires provide sufficient structural strength for the containers, withstanding frequent use and cleaning. As the core processing material, 08 iron wire, after being processed by the equipment, not only retains the sturdiness of iron but also can be bent and formed into various basket shapes, meeting the customized needs of different brands.

The equipment excels in wire compatibility. It can not only precisely process round wires but also easily handle special-shaped wires such as flat wires and square wires, which provides a broad space for the design innovation of French fry baskets and snack containers. For example, the basket edges made of flat wires have a softer touch and are not easy to scratch hands; the supporting structures made of square wires can improve stability during stacking. This "applicable to any material wire" feature allows enterprises to flexibly switch raw materials without replacing equipment, coping with the market's demands for baskets of different textures.

The strict implementation of the 3-8mm iron wire standard ensures the processing consistency of each wire. Whether it is the hollow patterns or closed frames of the baskets, they can be uniformly formed through the precise control of the equipment, avoiding the common size deviation problems in traditional manual production, and making the mass-produced French fry baskets and snack containers fit perfectly when stacked and stored.

The power system of the equipment with a total power of about 7.8kw adopts a combination of domestic Ou Rui servo motors, forming a scientific power distribution system: the 4.0kw wire feeding servo conveys wires at a maximum speed of 37m/min, ensuring the continuous supply of raw materials; the 1.8kw bending servo, combined with a maximum bending speed of about 300 rpm, can quickly complete the complex forming of basket arc edges and right-angle corners; the 1.0kw cutter servo and 1.0kw lifting servo precisely control cutting and mold lifting, ensuring each cut is neat without burrs.

The Yaqi servo system constitutes the "intelligent brain" of the equipment. The control module with a 32-bit high-performance processor can real-time process program instructions composed of 300 action combinations. For the common shapes of French fry baskets and snack containers such as ellipses, squares, and irregular polygons, the equipment can save the processing parameters of different styles with one click through the 4000-group data storage function. There is no need for re debugging when switching production, greatly shortening the production change time. The control screen with touch screen + button dual operation mode, combined with Chinese-English bilingual interface and program upload and download functions, allows operators to quickly get started, reducing training costs.

The bending accuracy and wire feeding accuracy of ±0.5mm are the core indicators to ensure the quality of French fry baskets and snack containers. This means that the grid spacing error of the baskets does not exceed half a millimeter, which will not cause small portions of fries to fall due to too large gaps, nor affect the oil draining effect due to too dense spacing. The 360° forward and reverse rotation of the inner and outer molds, combined with the angle adjustment range of ±180°, can precisely realize the edge curling of the baskets, the bending of handles and other detailed processing, improving the safety and aesthetics of the products.

The fully automated action control process has completely changed the traditional production mode: automatic feeding eliminates the trouble of manual feeding; automatic material returning avoids the inconvenience of taking parts after processing; the straightening and cutting function ensures the wires are straight without bending; bending and forming completes complex shapes in one go. This "unmanned intervention" production method not only minimizes human errors but also allows a single worker to supervise multiple devices at the same time, significantly reducing labor costs.

The external dimensions of 24009001650mm and the machine weight of 880KG take into account both the space utilization of the production workshop and the stability of the equipment. The compact floor area allows it to be flexibly embedded in the assembly line layout, while the sufficient weight ensures the stable machine body during high-speed bending, avoiding vibration from affecting processing accuracy.

For the common small-batch and multi-batch production characteristics of the snack industry, the equipment's quick mold change capability and diversified forming functions are particularly important. Various shapes formed through 300 action settings can meet the production of the full range of products from mini French fry baskets to large snack containers, enabling enterprises to quickly respond to new product demands in the fierce market competition and seize market opportunities.

In conclusion, with its efficient production capacity, wide adaptability, precise processing accuracy and intelligent control system, the 2D wire bending machine has become the ideal choice for the production of French fry baskets and snack containers, providing comprehensive equipment support for enterprises to increase production capacity, optimize quality and reduce costs.
