Thermoforming is a process of shaping flat sheets or films in rolls of thermoplastic polymer (thermoplastic) at a high-enough temperature into molded products.
In plastics processing thermoforming is one of the processing methods with the highest growth rates. Particularly it is relevant to the forming of roll plastic packaging.
There are fields of application where injection molding and blow molding compete with thermoforming. However in theplastic packaging production the thermoforming method is still beyond comparison in the “quantity-price ratio”.
The reasons are as following:
But there is still a problem: What size and capacity should be optimal for an automatic thermoforming machine to produce plastic packages in the required amount? The decision whether to choose one large thermoformer or several small ones depends on many conditions. We will be glad to make you our own proposal. You get to choose…
MultiForm is a series of multi-node thermoforming equipment, created on the basis of the servo motors. Model MAT-500MM MultiForm stands out becouse of its performance and versatility while maintaining good repeatability of manufactured products. Servos used in the model MAT-500MM MultiForm provide high speed, accuracy and high efficiency on all cycles.
Comparing with the previous generation of equipment (Universal series), the cycle speed can be increased by 30% - 40% while maintaining the quality of manufactured products. This makes it possible to significantly reduce production costs per unit of output.
The Universal series equipment makes it possible to produce virtually an unlimited range of plastic packaging using the positive and negative plug-assist (mechanical) forming and punching with cutting (band) dies. Thus, the plug-assist forming and the punching of plastic parts processes are performed as a single complete operation
Manufactured products: cups, jars, lids, trays, plates, chocolate trays, cake domes, salad bowls, ice-cream bowls, lunch boxes, egg trays, microcontainers, blister packages.
Used tooling: combined negative, positive-negative QMM moulds (Quick Make Mould), combined with the cutting (band) dies system using the plug-assist unit (premolding) of molded material.
Additional equipment: the Universal series can be equipped with the stacker of end products; it can be also equipped with the "optical mark" unit for forming shallow articles (lid, tray) from roll pre-printed plastic.
Maintenance staff: one operator.
Updating (June, 2010): Using of double-way feed circuits of pneumatic actuators on the basis of the modern air boxes connected according to a cost-effective scheme allowed to reduce by 23% the compressed air consumption by the thermoforming equipment in the UNIVERSAL series. New pneumatic circuits allow to save on reducing of energy consumption by compressors to several thousand Euros per year for each unit of this series.
The Norma series equipment is a small-sized economical automatic thermoformers quickly reconfigurable for the production of a range of plastic packaging. The forming and punching processes are performed as a single complete operation.
Manufactured products: cake domes, salad bowls, trays, microcontainers, chocolate trays, blister packages.
Used tooling: negative duralumin moulds without plug-assist, with the QMM cutting band dies system.
Additional equipment: the Norma series can be equipped with the end products stacker.
Maintenance staff: one operator.
The Optima series equipment is designed for the blister package manufacturing (MAT-150SHV, MAT-300SHV), as well as for microcontainers, lodgments, lunch boxes, egg trays, plates, chocolate trays (MAT-500SHV).
The forming and punching processes are performed separately (forming followed by feeding of molded products into a punching unit; punching) in automatic mode.
Used tooling: duralumin negative moulds (for MAT-500SHV with the possibility of installing the plug-assist system), punching die (cutting dies).
Дооснащение: Additional equipment: the Optima series can be equipped with the stacker of end products; it can be also equipped with the "optical mark" unit for forming shallow articles (lid, tray) from roll pre-printed plastic.
Maintenance staff: one operator.
Small-sized and very economical thermoformers of Alpha series are interesting because using a non-waste technology it allows to produce blister package for toys, electronic components, household chemicals, stationery, auto parts, ampoule products, as well as chocolate trays.
Used tooling: duralumin negative moulds.
Maintenance staff: one operator.
MAT-300PN Diapazon is designed mainly for the production of highly engineered blister packaging: blister with locks, lock folding box, blister of high rigidity, blister with punching, double-sided blister, etc. Trays, lunch boxes and pallets can also be produced using this model.
The forming and punching processes are performed separately and sequentially in automatic mode. The equipment makes it possible to operate in three modes: negative molding, positive-negative molding and positive molding. If necessary, the plug-assist system can be mounted.
Used tooling: duralumin negative moulds including the plug-assist system and the punching die (cutting dies).
Maintenance staff: one operator.
The Status series thermoforming equipment is focused on enterprises with a continuous production process of similar products; mainly it is manufacturers of disposable tableware (cups, plates, jars and lids for dairy industry).
Used tooling: combined gapless dies – moulds with shift trimming.
Additional equipment: the Status series can be equipped with the stacker of end products; it can be also equipped with the "optical mark" unit for forming shallow articles (lid, tray) from roll pre-printed plastic.
Maintenance staff: one operator.
