Description

Straw manufacturing device

The present invention relates to a straw manufacturing equipment, especially a straw manufacturing equipment that can use liquefiable food as a raw material to prepare an environmentally friendly straw.

With the rise of environmental awareness, various countries began to propose various plastic restrictions related policies to reduce the use of plastic. Among plastic products, plastic straws account for a large amount. Here, straw manufacturers have developed and manufactured various types of environmentally friendly straws to reduce the amount of plastic used. Many of them have chosen to prepare edible straws. However, most of the existing edible straws have two major disadvantages. One is that the production cost is relatively high, and the other is that the shelf life is short.

For example, one of the edible and environmentally friendly straws uses apple peel as a raw material. However, in order to reduce the rate of apple peel corruption, manufacturers need to invest higher costs in the process of apple peel straws to extend the shelf life of apple peel straws, although In this way, the shelf life of apple peel straws is still only about one year. In addition, because the production cost of apple peel straws is not low, which leads to high sales pricing, so consumers' willingness to buy decreases, so that the market share of apple peel straws cannot be effectively increased.

One of the edible, environmentally friendly straws uses seaweed as a raw material. The finished product and touch of the seaweed straw are closer to the plastic straw, which can effectively improve the user's acceptance. However, the cost of seaweed straws is also relatively high, and it will begin to decompose on its own within two years after production.
