K Show, the world's most awaited trade show for the plastics and rubber industry will be back in Duesseldorf from October 19 to 26, 2022. WM will participate with machine demonstrations - live and remote - and will present new thermoforming solutions, test results on new materials, interesting insights into the plastic industry and
When producing and selling goods or services, there are 3 main factors contributing to success: the market, the people and the machines. When it comes to plastics, there is an additional and very significant aspect: environment. “We are all familiar with the ongoing environmental debate and the policies and regulations arising from it”, explained
Thermoforming is a process for the transformation of plastic material by heat and combination of compressed air/vacuum and cutting with steel-rule blades. What is a Thermoforming machine? 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
PLASTEX 2022, the leading event in the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa) for plastic machinery manufacturers, will take place in Cairo from January 9th 2022. This will be the first international exhibition in 2022 for WM Thermoforming Machines. Ottavio Tonon, the area manager in charge,
2021 has been an important and productive year for WM. First of all because it has been the year of its 40th anniversary. To celebrate this important milestone, the Swiss company has organized several activities during the year, such as the Synergizing Technologies event series. Synergizing Technologies is a series of livestream events hosted
WM Thermoforming Machines will attend PLASTEX 2022, the leading event in North and East Asia dedicated to the plastics industry. The 18th edition of the exhibition will take place from 9 to 12th January 2022, at Cairo International Convention Center (CICC). Our sales manager Ottavio Tonon will attend together with our agent ACIS. Come
We had a blast at our Synergizing Technologies fall edition: thanks to our speakers Luca Oliverio, Andrea Crespi, Jörg Huth and Gregory Romanski, but it was also great to receive such response from the audience! We had interesting discussions about tilting technology, flexible solutions on stacking system, tooling, testing made on PET and expanded
It goes without saying that we are living in more fast-changing and unpredictable times where our short-term actions and mid-term vision require the needed flexibility to respond to the volatile business world we are living in. Current supply chain disruptions such as material shortages, container shipping overbooking, increased resin pricing as well as high
