Powered by a one hp 15000 rpm motor, the machine can produce 1200 cup hangers in an hour. The main advantage of the cup hanger made by the machine is that it has more stiffness and resists bending due to latex flow over the bowl. The cup hanger acts as a cantilever beam with a uniformly distributed load initially and a uniformly varying load when the bowl gets filled with latex. The cup hanger material is galvanized iron wire of 3 mm diameter/11-gauge size. The machine can count the number of cup hangers it makes and has a clutch system to stop the machine manually.
