THERMOFORMING SYSTEMS & EQUIPMENT
COMPRESSION EQUIPMENT
This design allows for the product to be auto loaded onto the oven conveyor belt. The product indexes into a two-station infrared oven with moldable zones for precise heating. It may not always be necessary to have a two-station oven. One or two stations are determined by time cycle and product temperature requirements. Once the product has been heated, it moves onto a transfer conveyor and into the press. The transfer conveyor eliminates the need for operators to handle the hot part, and assists in decreasing the cycle time. Some applications have two different types of material which need to be heated at different temperatures. Depending on the types of material, it may require two types of heating processes. |

VACUUM EQUIPMENT
Vacuum form systems are typically loaded utilizing pull to length and cutter equipment. The heating process can be either infrared or contact heating. Oven systems are designed with multiple zones to allow for heat profiling of the product. This equipment is designed with a heavy duty transfer conveyor for depositing the product over the top of the vacuum tool. Product recipes are integrated into the PLC System to allow the operator to easily select recipes from one product to another. Precise product temperature control is critical. |
