Through our thermoforming machines we transform plastic raw material which has previously been extruded into reels of sheet. The sheet thickness is generally up to 1.8 – 2.0
Thermoforming experts follow the process of shaping plastic parts from a softened thermoplastic sheet. The process starts by heating a plastic sheet and then shaping it according to the mould. Let’s see the creation process in detail. Thermoforming lines: the beginning of the process The process begins with the foil transportation chain. Here, the reel
There are two types of thermoforming process: IN LINE and OFFLINE, depending on production rate requirements. For the production of a single product with very high production runs of millions of pieces per month, such as drinking cups or disposable containers for yogurt, it is usually recommended to put the thermoforming machine IN-LINE with
