Disclosed are embodiments of an automatic multi-station integrated equipment for forming waste-paper-based-pulp packaging products, and related methods of operation. The equipment comprises at least one suction filter forming station integrated with one or more pair of high-temperature drying stations. The suction filter forming station includes a forming frame, pulp tank, forming plate apparatus, transfer plate apparatus, transfer air storage tank, horizontal transfer air cylinder, vertical transfer air cylinder, forming hydraulic cylinder, and forming apparatus main shaft. Each high-temperature drying station may include an upper press plate apparatus, lower press plate apparatus, high pressure air cylinder, lower horizontal air cylinder, air storage tank and upper horizontal air cylinder. Embodiments of the invention generally use one suction filtration forming station in conjunction with multiple high temperature drying stations to form a single production line.

There is provided a sheet manufacturing apparatus including: an accumulation section that accumulates a material containing fibers by an air flow to form a web; a transport section that transports the web in a first direction; a humidification section that humidifies the web; and a pressurization section that pressurizes the web humidified by the humidification section and compresses the web into a sheet shape, in which the humidification section includes an intake port that takes in air, a tank that stores water, a mist generation section that generates mist from the water, and an exhaust port that exhausts the mist and the air toward the web, and a position of the exhaust port is shifted in the first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction with respect to a position of the tank.
