Revolutionizing High-Volume Manufacturing: Rayshape Multi-Station Thermoforming Machines

2025-07-31

In the fast-paced plastics industry, where efficiency and scalability are critical, multi-station thermoforming machines are transforming high-volume production. Wenzhou Rayshape Machinery Co., Ltd., a trailblazer in innovative manufacturing solutions, is leading this charge with its cutting-edge Rayshape multi-station thermoforming machines, designed to push the boundaries of productivity and quality.

Understanding Multi-Station Thermoforming Machines

Multi-station thermoforming machines streamline the production process by dividing it into synchronized, independent workstations. Unlike traditional single-station machines that handle heating, forming, and cooling sequentially in one location, these advanced systems operate on a rotating or linear platform, performing multiple stages simultaneously. This approach drastically reduces cycle times and boosts output.

The typical workflow includes the following stations:

Feeding & Clamping: Plastic sheets are accurately loaded and securely clamped.
Heating: The sheet is evenly heated to a pliable state for forming.
Forming: The heated sheet is molded using vacuum, pressure, or both, ensuring precise shaping.
Cooling: The formed product is rapidly cooled to lock in its structure and dimensions.
Trimming & Ejection: Excess material is trimmed, and the finished product is ejected, ready for stacking or packaging.

This parallel processing enables near-continuous production, delivering unmatched efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Why Rayshape Stands Out

Rayshape’s multi-station thermoforming machines combine industry-leading technology with innovative design, offering exceptional value to manufacturers. Here’s what sets them apart:

Unrivaled Production Speed

Rayshape machines maximize throughput by processing multiple stages concurrently. While one product is cooling, another is being formed, and a new sheet is heating. This seamless operation makes them ideal for high-volume production of items like disposable tableware, food packaging, seedling trays, and cup lids, providing a competitive edge for businesses seeking scalability.

Precision and Reliability

High-speed production doesn’t compromise quality with Rayshape. Advanced servo-driven systems and precise temperature controls ensure consistent wall thickness, sharp details, and dimensional stability across every product. This precision minimizes waste, streamlines post-processing, and enhances product reliability.

Versatile Material Compatibility

Rayshape machines handle a broad spectrum of thermoplastics, including PP, PS, PET, PVC, BOPS, and eco-friendly options like PLA. This versatility enables manufacturers to adapt to market trends, from transparent food containers to durable industrial trays, expanding their product offerings with ease.

Advanced Automation and Smart Controls

Automation is at the core of Rayshape’s design. Integrated feeding, forming, trimming, and stacking systems are managed through intuitive HMI and PLC interfaces, allowing operators to monitor and adjust production effortlessly. This reduces manual intervention, minimizes errors, and enhances operational efficiency.

Energy Efficiency and Eco-Conscious Design

Rayshape prioritizes sustainability with energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, as well as servo motors that lower power consumption. Precise trimming reduces material waste, which can often be recycled, aligning with environmental goals and reducing operational costs.

Applications Across Industries

Rayshape’s multi-station thermoforming machines serve a wide range of sectors, delivering tailored solutions for diverse needs:

Food Packaging: Producing trays, containers, lids, and cups for food safety and convenience.
Medical Packaging: Creating sterile blister packs and trays for medical devices.
Consumer Goods: Manufacturing packaging for cosmetics, toys, and stationery.
Agriculture: Supplying seedling trays and plant containers for modern farming.
Industrial: Crafting lightweight components and turnover trays for industrial use.

Advantages Of Plastic Thermoforming Machines

Loading sheet part

Load automatically, lower human resource cost.

Proximity switch clever control, getting the rid of falling down of the sheet by conveying too fast.

Double stations, big diameter, reduce the frequency of changing sheet coil, improve the the production efficiency.

Max undertake roll of sheet

Weight:600kg, Diameter 800mm.

Feeding sheet part

Automatic feeding reduces human resource costs.

Actively transport the sheet and reduce the load on the conveying servo motor.

Cleverly control the proximity switch to prevent the sheet from falling too quickly during transportation.

Human-machine interface

Controlled by microcomputer and programmable controller (PLC), all action programs can be operated through the human-machine interface, simple and convenient, 15-inch touch screen.

Heater

1. Vacuum insulation cotton is installed in the heater, which has a fast reaction speed, short processing time and energy saving.

2. The furnace body is divided into two layers, the layout of the heating tiles is optimized, so that the plate is heated evenly.

Molding station

1. Mold changing auxiliary mechanism, using sliding guide rails and support rods to achieve fast mold change, saving time and effort.

2. Adopting high-power servo motor drive, high precision, high efficiency and low noise.

Molding mold

The working principle is a combination of positive and negative pressure, and some nylon plugs are used to assist stretching in the mold to make it have stronger molding ability.

There is cooling water in the mold cavity to speed up the cooling speed and make demolding easier.

Guide head structure

The workstation is supported by four columns (45# steel, hard chrome plated).

The integrated mold table (QT-600 steel) is made by a high-precision CNC milling machine. Therefore, it is wear-resistant, stable, and accurate, which prolongs the service life of the equipment.

A five-point-connecting-rod structure

This structure design provides more stable operation and faster speed.

Mold change structure

The punching hole station has the same mold changing structure as the cutting station.Greatly reduce mold change time and labor costs, improve production efficiency and safety factor, and provide convenience for your diversified product chain.

Servo motor

The station mold closing, forming auxiliary stretching, and pull-tab parts are all driven by servo motors, which have fast speed, low noise, high precision, and high efficiency.

Servo-controlled conveyor belt

Set conveyor belt parameters directly on the operation screen.

Freely adjust and control conveying length and speed.

Rewinding waste of edge sheet

Our multi-station thermoformers feature a winding unit with torque motor to efficiently collect the offcuts and wind them into a roll with one side retractable, which can be conveniently removed at the end of production.

This advanced waste management system improves operating efficiency and cleanliness, making multi-station thermoformers ideal for high-quality and sustainable production.
