63-Ton Precision Stamping | Integrated Automation for Higher Output & Lower Costs
Driven by the rapid growth of food delivery, ready-to-eat meals, airline catering and bakery industries, disposable aluminum foil containers are in constantly rising global demand, valued for their food safety, recyclability and high temperature resistance. However, many manufacturers still face bottlenecks: low manual collection efficiency, easy product deformation, inconsistent quality, and cumbersome scrap handling — making it hard to scale up output while keeping labor costs under control.
The AF-63AT fully automatic aluminum foil container production line is a mature, integrated manufacturing solution. Built around a 63-ton high-speed precision punch press, the complete line combines a precision feeding system, automatic stacking unit and scrap recycling mechanism to deliver fully automated production from raw aluminum foil rolls to stacked finished products. It helps aluminum foil packaging manufacturers increase output efficiently, cut labor expenses, and consistently produce high-quality, compliant products.
Full Line Composition: 5 Core Modules for Stable, Unified Operation
This turnkey production line consists of five core units: a fully automatic aluminum foil feeder, 63-ton precision punch press, custom forming molds, multi-channel automatic stacker, and scrap recycling & baling system.
Unlike simple combinations of separate equipment on the market, the entire line is controlled by a unified PLC system, eliminating coordination conflicts and mismatches between independent systems. All processes run in sync with lower failure rates, and are easier to debug and operate.
Core Units in Detail: Heavy-Duty Configuration for Efficiency and Quality
1. High-Precision Aluminum Foil Feeder (SL-1200MM)
Feeding accuracy directly determines finished product quality and raw material utilization. This feeder integrates unwinding, conveying and deviation correction functions, with a photoelectric sensing system that intelligently adjusts conveying speed and tension, and corrects misalignment automatically.
- Dual-motor feeding structure completely eliminates slippage, with a feeding accuracy of ±0.1mm
- Dual-roller oil coating design, derived from advanced Italian feeder structures, effectively reduces stamping oil consumption
- Compatible with raw materials up to 1200mm in width, with adjustable feeding length from 0.1mm to 9999mm to fit various product specifications
- Embossing roller optional for textured product production
2. 63-Ton High-Precision Punch Press
As the core power unit of the line, the punch press is a JH21 series open-type press from listed manufacturer Wode, custom-optimized for aluminum foil container stamping with stable performance and high durability.
- Nominal force of 630kN (63 tons) and stroke frequency up to 65 strokes per minute for high-speed mass production
- 260mm slide stroke and 550mm maximum die height, suitable for container molds of different depths
- Core components from globally renowned brands for reliable long-term operation:
- Main motor: SIEMENS (Germany)
- Secondary-drop protection device: OMRON (Japan)
- Duplex solenoid valve: TACO (Japan)
- Hydraulic overload protection device: KingAir (Taiwan, China)
- Dry pneumatic friction clutch for smooth operation and fast response
- Equipped with concentrated oil lubrication system and hydraulic overload protection to extend service life and reduce maintenance costs
3. Four-Track Automatic Stacker
Manual collection not only has low efficiency, but also easily causes container deformation, surface scratches, and food safety risks from direct hand contact. The automatic stacker solves all these pain points.
- Fully automated process including counting, anti-collision conveying, stacking and discharging, eliminating secondary contamination from manual contact and meeting food packaging safety standards
- Servo electric cylinder lifting control, paired with PLC system and HMI for easy parameter setting and stable, reliable operation
- Wide size compatibility: minimum 110×70×30mm, maximum 360×250×120mm (customizable)
- Stacking speed synchronized with the punch press, up to 65 pieces per minute, no bottleneck for full-line output
- Quick and easy mold changeover to adapt to different aluminum foil product shapes
4. Stand-Alone Scrap Recycling System
Consisting of a suction fan and hydraulic baler, it provides a one-stop solution for aluminum foil scrap handling.
- Automatically sucks stamping trimmings to avoid scrap buildup and equipment jams, ensuring continuous production
- Compresses loose aluminum foil scrap into compact bales for easy storage and recycling, increasing scrap recovery value
- Keeps the workshop clean and reduces cleaning labor input

Production Workflow: Automated Operation, User-Friendly Control
- Automatic Feeding: The feeder automatically unwinds the aluminum foil roll, corrects deviation, and feeds the raw material to the stamping station at a precise speed synchronized with the punch press.
- Precision Stamping: The punch press drives the die to form the aluminum foil. Each stroke delivers consistent pressure and stroke height for uniform product quality.
- Automatic Stacking: Finished containers are automatically conveyed to the stacker, counted and stacked in preset quantities, and discharged in full stacks for direct packaging.
- Scrap Recycling: Stamping trimmings are sucked into the recycling system and automatically compacted into bales for subsequent processing.
The whole line is equipped with a touchscreen HMI, supporting both jog and fully automatic operation modes. Operators can intuitively set feeding length, production count, jam detection and other parameters — easy to learn without complex training.
Key Benefits for Your Business
