The second generation of engineers are skilled in the entire process of developing and debugging automated systems, solving complex technical problems in production, and combining industry trends to iterate solutions. They can design automated systems to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Against the backdrop of China’s “Dual Carbon” strategy and rising packaging quality demands across downstream industries, the plastic thermoforming equipment sector is embracing a wave of industrial upgrading. Green low-carbon production, full material compatibility, and integrated services have become core development trends.

Wenzhou Rayshape Machinery Co., Ltd. , a key subsidiary of Wenzhou ELEMOTION, leverages its parent company’s over 20 years of experience in packaging equipment R&D and full-industry-chain resources. Specializing in high-end plastic thermoforming machinery, AIRAYS’s flagship RS-730-800-3 Full-Servo Positive-Negative Pressure Multi-Station Thermoforming Machine perfectly aligns with industry trends. By integrating green, compatible, and service-oriented principles into the entire value chain, the company has become a driving force in the high-quality and green transformation of the sector.

 

Green & Low-Carbon: Core Advancement for Sustainable Production

As energy-intensive and inefficient traditional machines are phased out, green low-carbon development has become irreversible. Building on ELEMOTION’s two decades of energy-saving technology, AIRAYS embeds energy efficiency and low loss into product R&D, achieving full-dimensional energy-saving breakthroughs.

The flagship machine inherits ELEMOTION’s mature temperature control and drive technologies, equipped with an independently innovated real-time distributed digital dynamic thermoforming temperature control system. It delivers single-point temperature precision of ±1℃, reducing energy consumption by over 15% compared with conventional models. A double-layer furnace body with vacuum insulation minimizes heat loss, while full-servo motor drives replace traditional hydraulic and pneumatic systems, cutting energy use at the source for an overall energy saving of 30%.

The machine enables burr-free and waste-free clean processing, raising the yield rate to above 99%. It is compatible with biodegradable materials such as PLA and PBAT, as well as high-proportion recycled materials. This helps downstream customers reduce costs while complying with environmental regulations, in line with ELEMOTION’s “Green Intelligent Manufacturing” philosophy.

 

All-Material Compatibility: Meeting Diverse Industry Needs

Full material compatibility has become an industry imperative. Backed by ELEMOTION’s multi-material processing expertise, AIRAYS has turned this capability into a core product strength.

The machine seamlessly processes conventional plastic sheets including A-PET and R-PET, as well as biodegradable materials, medical-grade and food-grade specialty sheets, with thickness ranging from 0.2mm to 1.5mm. It breaks through traditional limits, supporting both standard packaging products and specially structured items, including integrated packaging containers that cannot be produced on single-station machines. Fast material changeover with minimal adjustment enhances production flexibility, helping enterprises mitigate raw material price risks while balancing cost efficiency and environmental protection.

 

Integrated Services: One-Stop Solutions for Stable Operation

Integrated services have emerged as a new competitive battlefield. Relying on ELEMOTION’s extensive service network and full-industry-chain resources, AIRAYS provides a full-process one-stop service system.

Equipment manufacturing follows ELEMOTION’s strict quality control standards, using top-tier domestic and international core components and premium structural design to ensure stability, durability, and precision. Backed by ELEMOTION’s R&D team, the company offers customized services including dedicated mold design, parameter tuning, and complete auxiliary equipment for tailored production solutions.

Full-lifecycle support covers pre-sales selection guidance, in-sales installation and training, and post-sales rapid response. Supported by ELEMOTION’s nationwide service network, the company provides remote troubleshooting and on-site maintenance, ensuring “equipment commissioning and full production upon installation”.

 

Industry experts note that green low-carbon operation, full material compatibility, and integrated services represent the inevitable direction of industry development. By translating industry trends into product and service advantages through ELEMOTION’s full-industry-chain resources and its own innovation, AIRAYS has become a top choice for equipment upgrading across multiple sectors.

Going forward, AIRAYS will continue to leverage ELEMOTION’s technological and resource strengths, deepen its focus on high-end equipment, increase R&D investment, optimize product and service systems, expand application scenarios, and advance domestic high-end plastic thermoforming equipment. The company is committed to driving high-quality industry development and demonstrating the strength of China’s intelligent manufacturing.
