Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of steamer paper processing, and in particular to the technical field of steamer paper folding equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Steamed buns and other foods cooked in steamers are staples on many people's tables. To prevent the food from sticking to the steamer, a sheet of steamer paper is placed underneath. Steamer paper prevents damage to the appearance and skin of the buns, so the demand for steamer paper in daily life is very high.
[0003] To facilitate transportation and ensure the steamer paper remains clean and hygienic before use, the cut steamer paper needs to be packaged manually. Existing technologies include two packaging methods: manual packaging and mechanical packaging. In mechanical packaging, the steamer paper needs to be folded and then conveyed to the next process. However, since the folded steamer paper is not fixed, its elasticity during transportation can easily cause it to unravel, thus affecting the next process. Utility Model Content
