ABSTRACT

Paper plates are widely used disposable utensils in today’s fast moving world. They are hygienic, easy to handle and low cost and are available in various shapes and sizes according to requirement. They are manufactured using punching technology and due to their simple construction they are manufactured using various punching technology. The existing technology comprise of  old fashioned manual punching to latest automated hydraulic punching ,though there were advancements in punching technologies but they also went through several cons. Advancements also brought complexity in machines which increased the maintenance requirement and cost. Therefore there is a need of a technology which is simple and low cost. Some process which reduces the efficiency of machine can be eliminating by new techniques. This paper comprise of the information regarding the existing punching techniques and modifications which can be made for designing a new machine. a new model for this machine which comprises of an optimum automation for manufacturing and also the costs should perfectly fit into economic range.
