At a time when coffee culture is becoming more and more prevalent, disposable wooden coffee sticks have become a must-have for many coffee shops and beverage shops due to their environmentally friendly and aesthetic features. An efficient and stable disposable wooden coffee stick machine is the key to guarantee the supply of coffee sticks. This article will bring you a comprehensive guide to the use of disposable wooden coffee stick machines, covering the basic operation to maintenance, purchase points, and other content, and attached specific parameters, to help you easily manage the machine, improve productivity.
The disposable wooden coffee stick machine is mainly composed of core components such as wood conveying device, cutting device, grinding device, sterilisation and packaging device. Different models of machines vary in performance and parameters. Take the common medium-sized commercial wooden coffee stick machine as an example; its specific parameters are as follows:
Production efficiency: it can produce 80 - 120 coffee sticks per minute, with an hourly output of about 4,800 - 7,200 sticks, which can meet the daily demand of medium and large coffee shops or beverage shops.
Applicable wood: It can handle log chips or boards with a thickness of 2 - 4 mm and a width of 4 - 8 mm, commonly applicable wood includes birch, pine, bamboo, etc.
Cutting Accuracy: The cutting length error is controlled within ±0.5 mm, ensuring the consistent length of coffee sticks and improving product quality.
Motor power: the main motor power is generally 3 - 5 kilowatts, the voltage is 220V or 380V (according to different regional electricity standards can be selected), low energy consumption, in line with the economic requirements of commercial use.
Check the machine: carefully check whether the parts are firmly connected, whether there is any looseness or damage; check whether there is any debris blocking the wood conveying channel.
Add lubricating oil: according to the instruction manual, add the appropriate amount of lubricating oil to the transmission parts of the machine (such as chain, bearings, etc.) to ensure smooth operation of the machine.
Debugging parameters: according to the required length, thickness and other specifications of the coffee stick, set the parameters of cutting size, grinding strength, etc. on the control panel, and carry out 1 - 2 times of empty machine test run to observe whether the machine is running normally.
Starting the machine: Press the power switch, wait for the machine to start and stabilise, then put the prepared wood into the wood conveyor smoothly.
Monitor the production: During the production process, closely monitor the running status of the machine and the quality of the coffee sticks. If you find any problems such as uneven cutting or a rough surface of the coffee sticks, adjust the parameters or stop the machine for inspection in time.
Collecting products: The produced coffee sticks will be output automatically through the outlet. use suitable containers to collect them, pay attention to keep the collection process hygienic to avoid contamination of the coffee sticks.
Switch off the machine: When the production task is completed, stop the wood conveying first, wait until the remaining wood in the machine is processed, then press the power off button to switch off the machine.
Clean up the machine: Clean up any remaining wood chips and debris on the surface and inside the machine, use special cleaning tools (e.g., brush, hoover, etc.) to clean up and ensure the machine is clean and ready for the next use.
Regular Maintenance: Perform comprehensive maintenance on the machine once a week, including checking the wear and tear of each part, tightening screws, replacing lubricants, etc. Every 3 - 6 months, carry out in-depth maintenance on the machine, such as checking the performance of the motor, calibrating the cutting accuracy, etc.
Anti-rust treatment: For metal parts of the machine, apply rust inhibitor regularly to prevent rust from affecting the service life of the machine.
Software update: If the machine is equipped with an intelligent control system, pay attention to the software update information released by the manufacturer in time, and regularly upgrade the system to improve the performance and stability of the machine.
Timber conveying jam: It may be that the size of the timber is not standardised or there are foreign objects in the conveying channel. The solution is to check the wood specifications and clean up the debris in the conveying channel.
Inaccurate cutting size: it may be that the cutting tool is worn out or the parameter setting is wrong. The solution is to replace the worn cutter and recalibrate the cutting parameters.
Rattling sound when the machine is running: it may be loose parts or worn transmission parts. The solution is to stop the machine for inspection, tighten the loose parts and replace the worn transmission parts.
According to their own production scale and budget, determine the required machine production capacity, functional configuration, and so on. If it is a small coffee shop, you can choose a small home or commercial all-in-one machine; if it is a large processing plant, you need to choose a large machine with high productivity and high automation.
Priority should be given to brands with high visibility and good reputation in the market, such as [Brand A] and [Brand B]. The quality of these brands is guaranteed, and the after-sales service is also more perfect, which can help you solve the worries in the process of using.
Before purchasing, try to go to the manufacturer or distributor to visit the field, to understand the actual production of the machine, and to trial. Through the trial, intuitively feel the machine's ease of operation, production efficiency, and product quality.
Understand the after-sales service provided by the manufacturer or dealer, including warranty period, maintenance response time, technical support, and so on. Quality after-sales service can ensure that the machine will be repaired in time when it breaks down, thus reducing production losses.
as the main use of coffee sticks, whether it is a boutique coffee shop, chain coffee brands, or all kinds of milk tea shops, juice shops, all need disposable wooden coffee sticks for stirring drinks, to enhance the customer experience, is the most basic and wide range of applications of the equipment.
Hotel cafes, western restaurants, as well as all kinds of theme restaurants, fast food chains, etc., when providing customers with coffee, hot chocolate, and other beverages, will also use disposable wooden coffee sticks, the equipment can meet the needs of its batch supply.
Food processing plants specialising in the production of disposable tableware and coffee accessories will use the equipment on a large scale, and the coffee sticks produced will not only be supplied to the domestic market, but can also be used for export trade.
Supermarkets and convenience stores: Some large supermarkets and convenience stores purchase disposable wooden coffee sticks for retailing, and the equipment can help the relevant manufacturers to meet the demand for orders from these channels.
The United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and other European and American countries have a deep coffee culture and a huge coffee consumption market, so the demand for disposable wooden coffee sticks is stable. At the same time, these countries have a strong sense of environmental protection and are more inclined to use biodegradable wooden coffee sticks to replace plastic products, providing a broad market space for the equipment.
Coffee consumption in Japan and South Korea is growing rapidly, and the demand for high-quality coffee sticks is increasing. In addition, with the popularity of coffee culture in China, the domestic market has great potential, and under the ‘dual-carbon’ goal, the demand for environmentally friendly wooden coffee sticks is on the rise, which is also an important target market.
