The Jiateng glass cup manufacturing facility is equipped with top-of-the-line machinery managed by highly-skilled technicians. This enables us to produce quality glass cups with great efficiency and at lower costs.
facility is located in a growing region of Hejian, China, and manufactures more than 30,000 glass cups per day. Based on the modern cupping factory and experienced know-how team, our glass wareproduction is intended for the premium end of the beverage, food and Glass ornament. The manufacturing of glass cups comprises a number of stages. They include crushing and mixing of raw materials, batching, melting, pormation processes, annealing. The manner in which these steps are performed may be adjusted depending on the glass cup product.

How to Make Glass Cups Step by Step
1- Raw Materials For Making Glass Cups
Raw materials that we primarily use in the manufacture of glass cups are sand, soda ash, limestone and cullet.These materials are mixed in a specific ratio to make soda lime glass. Other types of glass cups may, however, require additional inputs. For instance, dyes and chemical compounds may be added in the manufacturing process to produce colored cups or heat-resistant borosilicate glass.

Limestone
Cullet
2-Batching Process for Making Glass Cups
Once the raw materials are gathered and prepared, they are placed in a hopper machine for mixing. The mixture is then put into batching compartments in measured portions. It is from these compartments that it is fed into the melting furnace through a conveyor belt.
Batching is an important phase of glass cup manufacturing. The mixture portions have to be accurate to ensure consistent quality. Their sizes are determined by the design and the number of cups to be made.
3-Glass melting during cup production process
Once the raw materials are gathered and prepared, they are placed in a hopper machine for mixing. The mixture is then put into batching compartments in measured portions. It is from these compartments that it is fed into the melting furnace through a conveyor belt.
All our furnaces are fully automated. Their temperatures settings are controlled by our engineers from an integrated control room using special software.
4-Blow glass forming processes
Glass formation involves the molding of molten glass into the desired cup shapes. First, the viscous mixture is cut into gobs of equal size using a timed blade. The gobs fall into separate slots of an individual section machine. Each slot contains a shaping mold.
The final shape is achieved by either Blow and blow method or Press and blow method.
5- Annealing and Conditioning Processes in Glass Cup Manufacturing
After the rigorous process of formation, the glass cups are allowed to cool before being moved into an Annealing Lehr. It is a long kiln that has controlled temperature settings. In it, the glass cups are slowly reheated and then gradually cooled again to a temperature below the strain point of glass.
Annealing is important as it minimizes the internal stresses in the glass cups that can lead to shattering. It also ensures an even settling of the glass material.
We control the annealing process to: Ensure the consistency of material Minimize stresses Prevent spontaneous breakage
6-Surface Treatment
Surface treatments are performed on the exterior of glass cups when they are complete. They can be used for decoration, labeling and even protection against abrasion. We have specialized equipment and know-how in performing various treatments including:
At Jiateng, we have over 20 years of professional experience in making glass cups. We ensure that every process is done to the highest possible standards for our client's satisfaction.
