  • Publication number: 20220275581
    Abstract: A rotating pulp suction and robot transfer molding machine includes: a frame and a pulp container located at an inner bottom of the frame. A pulp container drive mechanism is connected to the pulp container and drives the pulp container to move up and down. A pulp suction vacuum pipeline is arranged horizontally and two ends thereof are rotatably connected on the frame. A pulp suction mold is fixed on the middle of the pulp suction vacuum pipeline and connected thereto by a vacuumizing connecting structure. An extrusion mechanism downwardly engages with the pulp suction mold and extrudes pulp to prepare a wet blank of pulp product. A robot is mounted with a transfer mold and used to transfer the wet blank to outside of the frame. A high-low pressure sprinkler pipe is horizontally slidably connected with the frame and transversely arranged above the pulp suction vacuum pipeline.
