Machine video on Youtube:    

Application:

The material such as PP, PE, PS, PVC, PET, PETG, EPS, HIPS, HDPE, PMMA in soft film could be processed by this machine, it is an ideal vacuum forming machine for blisters, clamshell, plastic containers, disposable lunch box, fruit trays, egg trays, dishes, bowls, lids, medical packaging such as ampoule trays and vial trays, etc.

1. Outline:

The equipment consist of heating system, forming system, vacuum system, pneumatic system, cooling system and control system with reasonable structure. It is designed in line with the principle of energy saving and its production speed is 60% faster and 50% energy saving than single station thick sheet vacuum forming machine. It is easy to operate with HMI. The machine has acquired a number of national patents, it can be customized according to customers' requirement.

1.1 Basic units:

1). PLC control system with touch screen

2). Independently controllable heating zones, heated by far infrared ceramic heating bricks

3). Pneumatically powered clamp frame

4). Automatic cooling system with industrial chiller and spray guns

5). Automatic vacuum forming system

6). Steel components coated with polyurethane

1.2 Main features:

1). Feeding system: Auto feeding with inverter motor or servo motor driven, high speed, accurate and stable, digital length adjustment. Adopts special chain rail to ensure no deviation and vibration, wearing well.

2). Auto temperature control system using intelligent compensation control, heating up fast, stable, low energy consumption and with long life heating bricks.

3). Processing flow: Auto Feeding → Heating → Forming → Cooling → Air Blowing & Releasing from mold → Cutting.

4). This machine consists of Heating system, Forming system, Vacuum system, Pneumatic system, Cooling system and Control system.

5). Two-stage vacuum sucking to ensure the thick sheet is easy to form and to improve the molding quality.

6). Plug assist is optional: Motorised synchronised plug assist system ensures uniform drawing. Plug assisted vacuum forming is used when straight vacuum forming is unable to distribute the thermoplastic sheet evenly to all areas of the mold. Where a deep draw is required, a device know as top plug is used to push the sheet into the mold before the vacuum is applied to help spread the sheet out more evenly.

7). Apply air pressure to release the molding from the mold, damage of the molding in the releasing process is avoided.

8). Machine cycle status is clearly visible at a glance and all parameters can be adjusted in real time without interrupting the current cycle.

9). The PLC program offers saved memory for project to project recognition.

10). Imported electrical and pneumatic components from International well-know manufacturer make the machine features reliable quality and wearing well.
