Vacuum thermoformer / for plates / automatic - In Line

Basically developped for refrigerator industry. This type of machine is built of several stations in sequence.
These may be from 3 to 7 in order to raise production rate to the highest levels. Overall productivity can be further raised if option for fast tool change is chosen. Each machine can be customized, and can be specified to suit any thermoforming task.
The complete thermoforming line includes:

Automatic loading and centering (of sheets or from reels)
Chain or gripper transfer systems
Preheating
Heating
Forming
Trimming
Punching
Unloading


To improve further productivity, forming station can be equipped with a vacuum/cooling bell applied to the upper platen that helps to lock the sheet, pre-draw it through aspiration, and form with a plug assist.

With the forming bell the following technologies are available in the line:

Vacuum forming
Female forming
Pressure forming

Several solutions are available to customize forming area and product drawing and improve production rate.

Plate thermoformer / automatic - TwinCrea

TheTwin Sheet machine is the solution for the production of hollow part with thermoforming technology.
Accurate control of the heating system leads to good pinching between the 2 layers, which is the critical point of the application.
Configurations available

Manual loading of both sheets
Automatic loading of upper sheet and manual loading of lower sheet
Automatic loading of both sheets.

Furthermore, in automatic configuration pre-heating of the sheet can be added with the advantages of the reduction of cycle time, a stronger pinching of the two sheets and a potential reduction of sheet thickness for the improved heating.
Twin Crea is a very flexible machine with the possibility to have traditional vacuum forming and pressure forming upon demand. A robot for automatic placing of inserts can be integrated as well.

Plate thermoformer / automatic - RotoCrea

The high productivity level, demanded by the automotive industry, has required the development of this model.
The rotating double mold table is the specific solution studied toenable manual de-molding without compromising production rates. During the cycle, one of the molds is inside the machine and is used for forming.

The other is outside and anoperator can unload the part that remains on the mold after forming.
This system rotates every cycle alternatingthe two molds.
The main application of this machine is thermoforming of Instrument Panel Skin in Automotive industry, where the final part can include several under cuts at corners.
Because of that it is not possible to manage de-molding automatically since an automatic system may damage the skin.

At the same time a mold with movable insertsmay leave unwanted signs on such an important aesthetic part.
Therefore, this solution has been studied in order to allow manual de-molding in hidden time with attention to ergonomics.
This operation is done while the machine is forming the next piece so that overall cycle time is reduced.
