Milk Tea Cup Production Machine for Indonesia Market

Indonesia's milk tea market has grown exponentially, with over 4,000 boba tea outlets across the country and annual growth rates exceeding 25%. International franchises including Chatime, Tiger Sugar, Xing Fu Tang, and KOI The compete alongside hundreds of local Indonesian brands like Haus! and Esteh Indonesia. This explosive growth generates demand for billions of PP cups annually in 360-700 mL sizes, primarily 500 mL and 700 mL formats popular for boba drinks. Indonesian consumers prefer clear or translucent PP cups that showcase colorful milk tea beverages. The market requires cups with dome lids, straw holes, and sufficient wall strength to handle ice-filled drinks. Beyond dedicated tea chains, Indonesian convenience stores (Indomaret, Alfamart) and coffee shops increasingly offer milk tea, expanding cup demand further. Local cup manufacturers in Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bandung are investing in high-speed injection molding to replace imports. The growing demand across both traditional retail and modern foodservice channels creates a sustained need for high-volume, cost-efficient milk tea cups production equipment. Local manufacturers who invest in high-speed thin-wall injection molding gain competitive advantage over both imported finished products and local competitors using slower conventional equipment.

HWAMDA's 12-cavity milk tea cup mold produces 500 mL and 700 mL cups with wall thickness of 0.5-0.7 mm, optimized for the Indonesian boba tea market. The valve-gate hot runner with 12 individually controlled nozzles ensures uniform fill of tall cup geometries with 100-120 mm draw depth. H13 steel cavity inserts hardened to 50-52 HRC feature polished surfaces for the smooth, glossy cup appearance Indonesian consumers expect. Cooling circuits use conformal channels in the cup base and rim areas to maintain uniform shrinkage for consistent lid fit. Cup design includes reinforced rim geometry for dome lid snap-fit and straw-hole punch area. For Indonesian customers requiring printed cups, the mold produces surfaces optimized for offset and screen printing adhesion. HWAMDA also offers 8-cavity molds for startup operations or larger 700 mL formats requiring additional cavity spacing. HWAMDA's mold engineering team provides comprehensive DFM (Design for Manufacturability) analysis before mold production begins, optimizing gate location, cooling channel layout, and ejection strategy for the specific milk tea cups geometry. All molds undergo full dimensional inspection and trial production at HWAMDA's factory before shipment.

With 12 cavities at 5-7 second cycle times, the HMD 450M8-SPV produces 6,171-8,640 milk tea cups per hour. Operating 22 hours daily yields 135,771-190,080 cups per day, supporting annual volumes of 40-57 million cups per machine at 300 working days. Indonesian milk tea cup demand for a mid-size regional brand can reach 50-100 million cups per year, requiring 1-2 HWAMDA machine cells. PP resin consumption of 80-130 kg/hour per machine at cup weights of 10-15 grams sources from Chandra Asri domestic production or imported Korean/Thai grades. HWAMDA's production planning for Indonesian operations accounts for 85-90% OEE, with cup stacking and counting automation designed for efficient packaging of lightweight deep-draw cups that require careful handling to prevent nesting damage. HWAMDA provides a detailed production capacity spreadsheet customized for each customer's operating schedule, accounting for planned maintenance windows, shift changeover time, and mold change frequency. The capacity model includes sensitivity analysis showing output variation across different cycle time scenarios to help customers plan their commercial commitments accurately.

HWAMDA ships to Indonesia through Tanjung Priok (Jakarta) and Tanjung Perak (Surabaya) with transit from Ningbo averaging 8-12 days. The machine and mold ship in a single 40-foot container. Indonesian import clearance requires standard documentation with HWAMDA's Indonesian agent assisting with LARTAS permits. Two HWAMDA engineers provide 7-10 days of installation, mold commissioning, and operator training. HWAMDA's Indonesian agent in Jakarta provides ongoing technical support in Bahasa Indonesia. Spare parts delivery from China takes 5-7 days. HWAMDA has multiple Indonesian reference installations available for prospective customer visits. HWAMDA assigns a dedicated project manager to each order, providing weekly status updates during manufacturing and coordinating all logistics milestones from factory testing through delivery and installation completion. Post-installation support includes a 90-day production optimization period with priority remote engineering access. The entire system is designed for 24/7 continuous operation with minimal operator intervention, reducing labor requirements while maximizing production consistency and quality output.
