Inside Zhong Xin Ecoware's Automated Bagasse Tableware Production Lines

Zhong Xin Ecoware Technology (Thailand) Co., Ltd. is part of Zhejiang Zhongxin Environmental Protection Technology Group (SSE: 603091), a listed manufacturer of molded pulp foodservice tableware. The group's production bases combine self-developed forming equipment, automated material handling and in-house mold systems. This article shows what that actually looks like on the factory floor.

A Listed Company Behind the Brand

The group was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (stock code 603091). Its history in molded pulp tableware spans more than 15 years, and it holds more than 115 patents in molded pulp packaging and related technologies. Products are exported to more than 80 countries and regions.

Self-Developed Equipment and In-House Molds

Most molded pulp forming lines in the industry are purchased as complete systems. Zhong Xin Ecoware develops and builds its own production equipment and molds in-house. The trial production results at the Thailand base showed that the new self-developed lines are clearly superior to the equipment previously used in the group's existing plants (Shanghai Stock Exchange announcement No. 2025-007).

In-house mold development also shortens the path from product structure to mass production. For clamshell locks, compartment depth, lid fit and stacking performance, the mold is the most important technical asset, and controlling it in-house supports faster iteration.

Automation on the Factory Floor

The production lines use automated handling for molded products moving from forming to drying and finishing. Robotic arms transfer trays and molds along conveyor lines, reducing manual handling and improving process consistency.

Quality Control Across the Process

  • Incoming control: bagasse pulp fiber, pH, moisture and material consistency checks.
  • In-process control: forming moisture, hot-pressing temperature, pressure, drying and visual defect monitoring.
  • Outgoing control: dimensional tolerance, drop performance, printing color difference, stacking and packing integrity.

Why Manufacturing Depth Matters to Buyers

For importers and distributors, supplier manufacturing depth shows up in stable lead times, repeatable quality and faster sample iteration. A supplier that builds its own equipment and molds can respond to structure changes and quality issues faster than one that depends on third-party tooling.
