Compact and lightweight plastic utensils are very popular in the world and Russia. It is widely used in everyday life and grocery business. In dynamics for 2005-2016 The volume of the market for these products in our country grew. On average, by 10-15% annually, it continues to grow even now.

Under these conditions, open a small plant for the production disposable tableware Seems interesting idea. The article will tell about the features of the production of plastic products, about the situation on the market. In it you will find economic calculations business payback.

Sales market

Disposable market plastic tableware began to develop rapidly in the country after 2000. Apart from Russian manufacturers were engaged in the supply of these products European countries. Among the main exporters are Germany, Italy, Finland. The market grew steadily even during the 2009 global financial crisis.

Now a barrier has been set up for foreign producers - high import duties. It opened additional features for domestic enterprises.

Now Russian market disposable tableware is open to new members - it is approximately 75-80% full. A large share of the products produced in the country goes to the EAEU market, mainly to Belarus and Kazakhstan. Consumption volumes in Russia continue to consistently increase.

Potential consumers

Among the main consumers of disposable tableware:

points Catering- share more than 50%;
catering (holiday events, cooperatives) - 20-25%;
seasonal outdoor cafes - 15-20%
retail sales in stores - about 10%.

The entrepreneur needs to count on selling goods to stores in bulk.

You can also highlight the direction of vending - the sale of food through vending machines. In Russia, this direction is only developing, so the prospects are extremely bright.

There is a comparison of the situation in the Russian and Western markets, in our country the level of consumption is noticeably lower. This suggests that the market has room for growth.

Benefits of disposable tableware

The high popularity of disposable tableware is due to its undoubted advantages:

Light weight and no risk of breaking it. Plastic dishes are convenient to take with you on picnics, hiking. With a high capacity, it is compact, taking up little space in luggage.
Hygiene. It is suitable for single use, then thrown away. Therefore, there is no risk of “picking up” an intestinal infection.
Chemical resistance and heat resistance. The dishes are easy to use for hot dishes.
Multifunctionality. Cutlery (spoons, forks, knives) and other utensils (glasses, plates) of various sizes and shapes are made of plastic.
Safety. In accordance with GOSTs, plastic utensils are safe for health.
Low price. The main advantage is that a person with any salary can buy disposable tableware.

Initial Costs

Setting up a small disposable tableware factory will require a substantial initial investment. The main items of expenditure are the acquisition of high-quality equipment and the payment of wages to employees. High wages you need to install the chief technologist - a specialist on whom the quality of the finished product directly depends.

Table 1. Calculation of the initial investment to start production.

The cost of renting a room is for a provincial city with a population of up to 1 million people.

Registration

You can start a business both in the form of an IP, and as entity(OOO). Work as individual entrepreneur suitable for starting a small production workshop. But large catering companies as well as retail chains prefer to work with legal persons.

The OKVED code upon registration is 25.24.2 (“Production of plastic table and kitchen utensils, toiletries”).

You do not need to obtain a license, but the work should be brought into line with GOSTs. industrial production you can start after receiving from Rospotrebnadzor a certificate of product quality and its compliance with GOST.

All wholesale buyers will request certificates of conformity, they will not buy without them.

Documentation

Below is a list of standards that are important to study and take into account when organizing the production of disposable tableware:

GOST R 50962-96 - “Utensils and household items made of plastic. Are common specifications»;
GOST 15820-82 - "Polystyrene and styrene copolymers";
GN 2.3.3.972-00 - instead of SanPiN No. 42-123-4240-86 "Permissible migration quantities (DKM) of chemicals released from polymeric and other materials in contact with food products and methods for their determination”;
SP 2.2.2.1327-03 - "Hygienic requirements for the organization of technological processes, production equipment and workplace";
GN 2.2.4.1313-03 - "MAC of harmful substances in the air of the working area".

room

It is better to look for a production facility outside the city, far from residential areas, because the production of plastic utensils is accompanied by harmful fumes. In addition, the work of the workshop in such places is cheaper - both in terms of the cost of rent and the amount of staff wages. It is not necessary to locate the object too far from sales markets in order to avoid the growth of logistics costs.

On an area of 120-150 sq. m will be located directly manufacturing facility, warehouses, staff quarters, administrative rooms.

When choosing and arranging the territory for a mini-factory, the following requirements are taken into account:

the presence of a concrete floor or flat tiles;
wall covering with tiles or other fireproof material;
ceiling height not less than 4.5-5 m;
availability of serviceable engineering communications - powerful ventilation and power supply (three-phase network, 380V).

Raw material

Polystyrene or polypropylene are used as raw materials for the manufacture of plastic tableware. You can use granular polystyrene (granulate), which is processed into a film. From the film and form products.

Can you already buy finished semi-finished product- polystyrene film. It is more expensive, but the production process with it is accelerated. It is recommended to buy all the equipment, to provide a full production cycle. In the long run, it will pay off and reduce costs. finished products to the minimum.

The most important thing when choosing raw materials is the absence of harmful impurities. You need to choose only food grade polystyrene.

Equipment for the production of disposable tableware

The main item of expenditure in organizing a business is the purchase of equipment. On sale there are expensive German equipment, cheaper Chinese. You can buy used equipment, but in this case you will have to budget for unforeseen expenses - for repairs.

Under the terms of our business plan, a ready-made line for the production of disposable tableware is purchased. It will ensure the automation of the process and the high quality of the final product. The cost of such a line is 4 million rubles, the productivity is 30 thousand units of products per hour. Its design includes an extruder, an injection molding machine, a trimmer, presses, and an edge bending machine.

You can also buy a shredder and an image printer. Although the work of the workshop is possible without them.

Production technology

Raw materials are added to the extruder. The plastic balls heat up and melt. Using a screw press, they are mixed into a mass until smooth. In addition to white balls, you can add multi-colored ones. This allows you to create dishes of a specific color.
Liquid viscous melt is passed through a press. This is how a canvas, a film, is created, the thickness of which is up to 2 mm. It is rolled up or sent for further processing.
In the thermoforming machine, the film is reheated and pulled into the molds.
The canvas with rows of shapes extruded in it enters the trimmer, which cuts out blanks.
The blanks are sorted and modified on the conveyor - the edges are bent. Then the packaging is done.

Unused plastic trimmings from the trimmer can be reloaded into the extruder for melting.

Staff

Table 3. List of workers required for production.

Job Title	Main functions
Manager, 1 person	Control over work, interaction with contractors
Chief technologist, foreman, 1 person	Control over the process and manufacturability of production
Workers, 2 people	Work on equipment
Loaders, 2 pers.	Supply of raw materials, unloading and loading operations
Driver, 1 person	Logistics, delivery of goods
Sales manager, 1 person	Search for buyers, conclusion of supply contracts
Cleaners, 2 pers.	Cleaning and keeping the shop clean

Total - 11 people. The functions of the manager (director) can be performed by the entrepreneur himself (at first). The accountant should be hired by outsourcing.

The main task is to find qualified workers. You can “make” the chief technologist yourself by sending your person for training to the manufacturer. Subsequently, he will train workers from scratch.

Financial plan: profitability and payback

Initial costs amounted to 5.28 million rubles.

Monthly expenses are made up of the following items:

purchase of raw materials for production;
rent price;
staff salaries;
additional and unaccounted expenses.

In total - 1.3 million rubles.

In 22 work shifts, 5,280,000 items will be produced.

30000 × 8 × 22 = 5.28 million pieces

The average retail price of 1 item (cup, plate, cutlery) is 31 kopecks. When selling products produced in a month, you can earn 1.63 million rubles.

Net profit is 330 thousand rubles. Accordingly, the business for the production of disposable tableware will be able to fully pay for itself in 16 months, then it will begin to bring a stable monthly income to its owner.

Possible risks

The main risks for a businessman are:

Competition. There are many large manufacturers of disposable tableware in Russia, which have already established themselves and have good reputation. It's about how about domestic companies, and about foreign ones, which continue deliveries to the Russian Federation, even despite high duties. In addition, some foreign manufacturers simply placed factories in Russia.
Uncertain prospects and status. Abroad (including in the states Western Europe) thought about banning the use of disposable plastic tableware. Replacing it with paper is a way to reduce harm to the Earth's biosphere. There is also talk about this in Russia, although it is more difficult for us to implement the idea due to the lack of a mechanism for separate collection garbage.

It is expected that in the next decade in our country the demand for plastic tableware will remain high. Under such conditions, production on an industrial scale (with its proper organization) will allow a businessman to gain a foothold in the market, gain valuable experience and a large gesheft for further expansion and diversification. Our business plan for organizing the production of disposable tableware will allow you to better understand the issue, evaluate your investment opportunities, the approximate amount of work and potential profit.

One of the promising areas for today is the production of paper tableware as a business. By purchasing good powerful equipment and mastering the manufacturing technology, you can conquer a still unfilled market. After all, most of these goods come to us from abroad, and there are very few domestic workshops.

It is enough to correctly draw up a business plan, study in detail the market of the selected region, prepare manufacturing process, hire employees and agree on the supply of the first batch of goods. And after 6-12 months you will start to receive a net profit, which will make it possible to expand and offer customers new options for dishes.

Business features

Disposable cups and plates quickly became fashionable. But if until recently only plastic options could be found on store shelves, today they have been successfully replaced by paper products. This dish has the following advantages:

Hygiene.
Environmental friendliness.
Does not spoil the taste of food.
Low level of thermal conductivity, which makes it possible not to burn your hands when holding a hot drink.
The material from which it is made completely decomposes within a few years without causing damage to the environment.
It is easy to print an advertisement or a company logo on paper.

Such products are increasingly in demand, but in Russia there is still a very low level of competition among manufacturers. By making disposable tableware, even foreign suppliers can be squeezed out by lowering prices.

This business is good because an automated well-established line will produce dishes 24 hours a day, all year round. And it doesn't take a lot of workers. With not very high costs, you will reach full payback in a few months. Not surprisingly, the production of paper tableware is considered a very promising project.

Company registration

You can register a business as an individual entrepreneur, but still experts recommend it, since a legal entity will have its own advantages:

more founders available;
in case of failure, you risk only the authorized capital;
large companies prefer to cooperate with the firm, rather than with an individual entrepreneur;
such business causes more confidence in various regulatory services;
there is an opportunity to refund VAT, which significantly affects the financial component.

In addition, you will need to select the appropriate OKVED code for the production of disposable paper tableware. When registering employees, you must register with pension fund and FSS. And also be sure to obtain permission from the SES and the fire inspection for the production of food products, which include this species products. Special attention should be given to the requirements of GOST and SanPiN.

Technological stages

When setting up an automated line using modern equipment, the production of disposable tableware is a simple process:

Printed on a laminated sheet of paper.
The workpiece of the desired size is cut with a special press.
In the molding machine, the product is given the planned volumes.
The edges are soldered, the excess is cut off.
If this is the production of cups, then the bottom is cut out separately and laid inside.

As a raw material, a special laminated paper (one- or two-sided) is used. Its density should be 150-350 g/m2. Finnish material is considered the best in quality, but due to high prices, the cost of such dishes will be too high. Therefore, it is recommended to use paper from a domestic manufacturer, which will significantly reduce costs.

Workshop selection

Enough space is required to make disposable tableware. Depending on the assortment, expected turnover and the availability of certain machines, the appropriate premises are selected:

it should be located in the industrial part of the city;
minimum ceiling height - 4.5 meters;
concrete or tile floor;
refractory coating on the walls;
the presence of a three-phase power supply is mandatory;
installed water supply and good ventilation system.

The entire building is divided into certain working areas - workshop, warehouse, administration, utility rooms, bathrooms, locker rooms for employees. Also check the list of requirements from the sanitary and epidemiological service and fire safety so that the regulatory authorities do not make claims.

What equipment to buy?

In order to produce paper disposable tableware, you will have to purchase an automated line. First, it is desirable to decide on the list of required elements, for example:

Machine for cutting blanks.
Device for thermal or ultrasonic treatment.
Printing press.
Nozzles and blanks for giving the desired shapes and sizes, etc.

Keep in mind that plates and glasses will require two different lines. After all, even if it is possible to change nozzles on the same machine in order to maintain desired speed production is highly undesirable to stop the process.

When choosing, pay attention to the power of the device, the quantity and quality of manufactured products, as well as the method of gluing parts. It can be ultrasonic or thermal. The first option is preferable, albeit expensive.

Another important point when buying equipment is the choice of manufacturer. European and American machines are of high quality and good speed, but their price may seem too expensive. Chinese devices on the market are considered the cheapest, but they also give out a lot of marriage, which will significantly affect the entire workflow.

The choice of equipment from a European manufacturer is considered the most optimal, since it is available for a more suitable price to purchase an automated line for the production of good quality disposable tableware.

Staff

To work on such machines, you do not need a large number of people, and even more so highly qualified specialists. Therefore, it is enough to hire a few people who will only control the machines and fold the goods.

True, you still have to hire:

Accountant for financial reporting or invite him only when necessary.
A sales manager, since the success of the entire business largely depends on established relationships with customers.

After the production of products is established, one of the most important tasks remains to organize the sale of the manufactured goods. It is better if an experienced manager takes care of this issue. Basically, paper disposable tableware is purchased by:

(cafes, restaurants, fast food).
Sports complexes.
Entertainment centers.
etc.

To disseminate information about your production, you can use all modern available methods of advertising - the media, the Internet, banners, ads, etc. By concluding several contracts with permanent wholesale customers, you will ensure the stability of your business and quickly reach full payback.

Financial calculations

To predict the profitability of the project and find out for what period you can return your initial investment, you need to determine the cost of the selected equipment, production volumes and establish a quick sale of goods.

For example, if you buy an automated high-power line for 1 million rubles, you can count on the production of 35 products per minute. With 24/7 production, this will be approximately 1,500,000 copies per month. And if you make a low margin on the goods, say, 1 ruble in excess of the cost, then the income will be 1,500,000 rubles.

This amount must be deducted from taxes, payroll deductions, public utilities, the purchase of raw materials for the next batch of goods, etc. As a result, after six months, with an established sale of finished dishes, we can talk about the full payback of the initial investment.

to acquire better and more powerful equipment;
install machines for a variety of assortment;
open branches in other regions, etc.

In the world, the production of disposable tableware is gaining more and more relevance. And although the purchase of equipment is an expensive undertaking, and when drawing up a business plan, you need to carefully analyze the market, it is still a promising project that is worth paying attention to.

It is advisable to get acquainted with the nuances of the work of such a workshop in practice. A novice entrepreneur without basic skills will make too many mistakes that will ruin the project at the start. But having enough experience, you can open a mini-factory for the production of plastic cups, and then gradually expand the range.

Business Relevance

According to statistics, there has been an increase in demand for disposable tableware around the world within 10-15% annually. This suggests that people prefer it more often. The benefits are obvious:

Can be used once and then discarded.
Low price.
With the help of multi-colored elements, it turns out to create a festive atmosphere in any conditions.
Such dishes are light and do not take up much space if you have to take it with you to nature.
Convenient to use for any purpose.

True, an increasing variety of such products appears on the market and competition among entrepreneurs is growing. On the one hand, these are Chinese suppliers of plastic tableware, the cost of which is very low. On the other hand, the emergence of more environmentally friendly varieties, for example, paper cups. But if you establish the production of safe and cheap products, you can win your niche.

First you need to decide on the main competitors, study their strengths and weak sides. Keep in mind imported plastic utensils, which are still in high demand. Draw up a competent business plan and think over the assortment of the offered goods. For example, disposable cups of various sizes and volumes are rightfully considered the most common. Only after that proceed to the organizational part.

Paperwork

To open a mini-workshop, you must first register as a legal entity. The advantages of an LLC over an individual entrepreneur are significant:

Such a firm inspires more confidence both among suppliers of raw materials and equipment, and among wholesale buyers.
It is possible to recover VAT on purchases.
In case of failure, the company risks only the authorized capital.
It's easier to get a loan from a bank.

When registering, indicate the OKVED code 25.24.2. Various licenses for activities are not needed, but the premises themselves and the quality of manufactured products must comply with GOSTs and the standards prescribed in SanPiN. Before starting a business on disposable tableware, be sure to study the following documents:

GOST R 50962-96 - general technical conditions for the production of plastic products.
GOST 15820-82 - specifying the quality standards for styrene and polystyrene copolymers, on the basis of which plastic dishes are created.
GN 2.3.3.972-00 - adopted instead of SanPiN 42-123-4240-86, which establishes the requirements and indicators for the amount of chemicals in such materials.
SP 2.2.2.1327-03 - describes the technological process and hygienic requirements for the operation and condition of the equipment.
GN 2.2.4.1313-03 - where it is said about harmful substances in the composition of the air at the workplace.

In order to obtain permits for production activities from the SES, the fire inspectorate and Rospotrebnadzor, it is necessary to properly prepare the premises, purchase equipment and release the first batch of goods, which must undergo rigorous quality control. Only then can the idea be put into practice.

Workshop arrangement

When installing all the equipment necessary for the manufacture of disposable tableware, you need to select and prepare the room in a certain way. It is important to consider the following requirements:

The height of the ceilings should be at least 4.5 meters, and only in the absence of an extruder and a granulator, you can get by with indicators of 3.5 m.
The floor must be poured with concrete or laid with durable tiles.
The walls are covered with a fire-resistant material that can be easily washed.
Be sure to install good ventilation.
The electrical network must be three-phase and withstand the high loads of operation of all equipment.
Do not forget about water supply, heating and other communications.

The whole building is divided into separate zones:

working;
administrative;
bathroom and shower for staff;
wardrobe;
warehouses for raw materials and finished products.

Make sure that the workshop has convenient access roads for unloading goods. It is better to rent or purchase such premises outside the city or in its industrial part. total area should be about 500 sq. m.

Equipment selection

A complete automated line for the production of disposable tableware consists of the following elements:

Granulator.
extruder.
Crushers.
Thermoforming press.
Product stacking machine.
Conveyor.
Machine for bending the upper edge of the glass.
The printer for drawing the image.
compressor.
Bulk molds for cutlery.

It is not necessary to purchase all of their varieties at once. You can draw up the line gradually, adding individual elements as the business develops and returns seed investment. You can only start with a stacking and packaging machine and a thermoforming line. By purchasing ready-made rolls of thin film, you can do without installing other elements.

Please note that equipment manufacturers offer different models, capacities, a variety of forms, and this, in turn, significantly affects the cost. Depending on the financial possibilities and the desired production volumes of disposable tableware, you need to make a choice.

It is believed that German and Austrian machines are the most powerful and they should be purchased when creating a productive automated line that produces several million products per month. But to start, you can spend 3-4 times less and opt for Korean or domestic cars. Then the volume of production will be lower, but the cost of equipment will be feasible.

Raw material base

Plastic disposable tableware is made from two main components:

Polypropylene - resistant to fats, oils, alcohol, products made from it can be placed in a microwave oven, and they are also allowed to be used for children's products. But when working with this material, it is necessary to strictly maintain the parameters of the technology so that its quality characteristics do not deteriorate.
Polystyrene - it is much easier to work with it, but it has lower performance during operation.

Individual entrepreneurs began to produce, but the cost of laminated cardboard and products from it is quite high. Therefore, such a business is still losing in competition.

When looking for suppliers of polystyrene and polypropylene, you can find several existing large enterprises who are involved in their production. But there are certain downsides. For larger orders, small customers will have to wait too long for material, which can lead to frequent downtime.

Therefore, it is worth establishing other channels of supply. For example, pay attention to factories that collect recyclables and recycle them. And although the quality of such material is much lower, this can be a way out in the search for a permanent and reliable supplier. Or find a foreign manufacturer who is ready to offer the material at an affordable price. It is important to control the quality of the original raw materials. It must comply with GOST 10354-82.

Technological process

When creating plastic dishes, the material goes through the following stages:

Polyester in the form of granules is fed into the extruder. If you want to diversify the color scheme of the product, you can add different shades.
The raw material is heated to high temperatures, at which it begins to melt, and mixed, achieving a homogeneous mass.
Then it is passed through a press, which provides a finished film thickness of 2 mm. It is very important to control that the machine always produces an even web.
Such a roll is sent to a thermoforming machine, which involves the creation of a product (glasses, plates, etc.).
Here the material lends itself again high temperatures and due to the vacuum effect acquires the desired shape.
Further, the blanks enter the trimmer, where they are cut to size.
With the help of a conveyor, they go to a packaging machine or a printer for applying a logo, pattern, advertising, etc.
For glasses and plates, you must additionally pass the products through an apparatus that bends the edges.
At the end, the goods are packed into large bags.

Staff

Due to the fact that the line is fully automated, it will not be necessary to hire a large number of people to control its work. Depending on the volume of production, a different number of employees is needed. For an average workshop, it is enough to have in the state:

Technologist - specialist higher education and experience in this field, it is quite difficult to find such, but its presence is necessary to maintain product quality.
Equipment adjusters - you should also train additionally or find professional craftsmen.
Ancillary workers.
Cleaning lady.
Accountant.
Client Relations Manager.

To deliver goods to customers on their own, it is also desirable to hire a loader and a driver. To save costs, you can perform some of the functions, for example, accounting, management, sales of products, independently.

We are looking for buyers

It is not enough just to produce a quality product. It is also necessary to find through which channels to sell disposable tableware. From advertising, you can use all available resources - the media, the Internet, ads. But it is better to establish personal contacts with the owners:

Catering establishments.
supermarkets.
Specialized stores selling related products.
wholesale bases.
Food preparation and delivery companies.
vending machines.
Larkov.
Offices.
Educational and other government institutions.
confectionery firms.
Organizations for the arrangement of holidays, corporate parties.
Catering agencies, etc.

It makes sense to hire a marketing and sales specialist, then the activity of your company will quickly pay off due to large wholesale orders and sales of finished products.

Financial part

Opening a mini-workshop for the production of disposable tableware will require large investments. We list the main items of expenditure.

The cost of one unit of a product is on average 0.25 rubles. If you sell disposable tableware for 0.35 rubles, then with a production volume of 10 million units per month, you can achieve a net profit of 1,000,000. Even taking into account regular deductions, you can achieve a full payback of the project in 3-4 months.

Video: production of disposable tableware.

One of the most profitable business lines is the manufacture of disposable tableware. People use plastic utensils when having picnics outside the city, on various trips, at children's parties, so the demand for this product is not declining, and this type of product will remain in demand for many years to come. The difference between this type of dishes from porcelain and glass is its light weight, ease of transportation and low price.

Our business valuation:

Starting investment - 20,000,000 rubles.

Market saturation is high.

The complexity of starting a business is 8/10.

Reasons for choosing this niche

Many people are mistaken when they say that the production of plastic tableware is exclusively seasonal business. In practice, entrepreneurs have proven that this type of business is year-round, the reason for this is that people use dishes intended for one use all the time.

This type of business is highly profitable. The main advantages of plastic utensils are its hygiene and safety. The use of this type of plates, containers, glasses and cutlery saves time for putting things in order after various festive events.

A business in the production of disposable tableware involves the use of high-tech equipment that allows you to receive goods High Quality. The line for the production of disposable tableware, which is located at the enterprise, allows the production of glasses of various capacities, as well as bowls, plates of various sizes, straws for drinks, cutlery and other disposable products.

The entrepreneur should understand that there are the following types of customers:

people who buy goods for seasonal picnics, celebrations, events;
owners of catering outlets, lunch delivery services, cafes, as well as owners of drinks and oxygen cocktails.

The second clients are more often carried out wholesale trade disposable tableware.

It is noted that at first it is difficult to sell disposable plastic tableware in the "young" business, since it is necessary to form a customer base. Only high quality goods can attract potential buyers. It is important to hire an experienced advertising manager who can promote the business and form a customer base.

Important stages of production organization

In order for a business to make a profit, it is necessary to complete several important steps for this:

register a business;
buy equipment;
find employees.

How to register a business?

To open a factory for the production of disposable tableware in Russia, it is necessary to legally register a soybean entrepreneurial activity completing the relevant documents. When choosing between an individual entrepreneur and an LLC, one should focus on the expected profit from production. A form of business in the form of an individual entrepreneur is registered if it is supposed small production. If an entrepreneur is going to establish big business, then an LLC is formed (a company with limited liability). The advantages of the latter are greater trust of partners in the founder of production, a simplified taxation system, as well as the possibility of obtaining significant discounts on raw materials for the manufacture of disposable plastic tableware.

To carry out the sale of manufactured products, it is mandatory to obtain a certificate that confirms the compliance of the goods with the established standards in accordance with GOST.

Where is the production located?

The workshop should be located outside the city. The mini plant has an area of about 100 m². Of these, 70 m² is an industrial workshop, 15 m² is a warehouse, the remaining 15 m² are utility rooms and a bathroom. For a large production, an area of 600 m² will suffice.

The room where food disposable plastic utensils will be produced should have the following parameters:

3-4 m - minimum ceiling height;
the floor is filled with concrete or tiles are laid on it;
three-phase electrical network;
availability of ventilation ducts, sewerage and water supply;
treatment of walls with refractory liquids up to 2 meters high from the floor.

The plant should also be equipped with utility and storage facilities.

What raw materials need to be purchased?

Raw materials for disposable tableware must be of high quality. You will need polystyrene, it is sold in granules, its price varies within 25 thousand rubles per ton. In order for the products to be colored, you should buy color additives. Another material for the production of disposable tableware is also needed - polyethylene film. If you compare store shelves with plastic and paper utensils, you can see that the cost of the latter is quite high, so the demand for it is somewhat lower than for its plastic counterparts, which is why the business of manufacturing products from thermoplastics will become the most profitable.

Difficulties in recruiting workers

The search for personnel can be carried out through advertisements on the Internet and newspapers, however, it is rather difficult to find responsible employees in this way. There are no special courses for training in the management of the production of disposable tableware. However, almost all equipment suppliers offer entrepreneurs training for their staff on favorable conditions. They need to sign an agreement with them. after-sales service technology.

Selection of equipment for production

The initial question that a businessman asks is what kind of equipment to buy for the production of disposable tableware. The highest quality lines are those made in Germany and the USA, but their price is high, so they can be replaced with analogues from Korea. However, they have lower production capacity. For production, you will also need an injection molding machine. To obtain blank sheets from granular raw materials, you need to purchase an extruder. You will also need molding machines for the production of disposable tableware and a compressor.

The production cycle can be complete or incomplete. The first involves melting the pellets and making the film. The second excludes the preparatory stage of its production, since it is purchased as a raw material, in the form of rolls. Therefore, the following set of equipment is required:

automatic machine designed for stacking and packaging products;
granulator;
extruder.

Subsequent equipment is purchased in accordance with the selected type of dishes. You will need the following products:

automatic machine for bending the upper edge;
packing machine;
image printers, etc.

For the manufacture of thick cutlery, pouring molds are needed. A diverse range guarantees greater business success, so you should purchase lines that integrate with a large number of thermoforming machines. Such a complex of equipment will make it possible to manufacture products of various types.

Approximate cost of equipment

The price of equipment is high, for example, only an injection molding machine costs about 1 million rubles. Entrepreneurs estimate the price of entering the disposable tableware market at least 20 million rubles. This is due to the fact that it will not be possible to limit oneself to one automatic machine if it is planned not only to win back its part of the market, but also to develop further. Most of the costs are the purchase of an extruder that produces sheets from granulate.

Also can be sold disposable tableware with custom logo. This type of business is especially relevant at present for various celebrations, presentations and events. Glasses are great advertising medium. The corporate logo on the dishes helps to maintain the corporate style and promotes goods or services on the market.

Stages of production technology

Depending on what products are planned to be produced, two technologies are distinguished: molding and casting. The latter method produces dishes with thick walls. The casting process takes a long time, Money. It should be noted that the weight of an ordinary cup with a volume of 200 ml is 3 g, made by injection molding - up to 10 g.

There is a more cost-effective technology for the production of disposable tableware, molding, with the release of up to 30 million cups per month, which consists of the following steps:

Purchased early raw materials are sent to the extruder.
In the extruder, the granules are melted, and the resulting mass is mixed. Having formed the desired consistency, the viscous liquid passes through the press, resulting in a plastic sheet, the thickness of which is approximately 2 mm. On this stage a uniform thickness of future dishes is formed.
The film is heated in a 3-meter oven.
The resulting mass enters the thermoforming machine, where the shape of the products is formed.
Glasses, plates and other products are fed into the trimmer, where they are cut from the common web using a punching press.
Film scraps are recycled, so production is waste-free.
The trimmer distributes products in special apparatus, who stacks it and sends it to a conveyor belt.
The belt transports the dishes for packaging or for subsequent transformation.

Thus, the disposable tableware business is profitable and cost-effective, but requires large financial investments.
