Shaping the Future with Precision: Plastic Thermoforming Machines by Rayshape
Wenzhou Rayshape Machinery Co., Ltd. leads the plastic manufacturing industry with advanced plastic thermoforming machines, transforming plastic sheets into precise, three-dimensional products. Based in Pingyang County, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, Rayshape delivers innovative, efficient, and sustainable solutions for diverse industries. This article highlights the power of our plastic thermoforming machines, their functionality, types, applications, and our commitment to shaping the future of plastic production.
Thermoforming: The Process
Thermoforming heats a plastic sheet to a pliable state, molds it into a shape, and trims it to create a finished product. Unlike injection molding, it uses pre-extruded sheets, offering cost-effective tooling and versatility. Rayshape’s plastic thermoforming machines execute this process with precision through three stages:
Heating: Radiant heaters uniformly soften the plastic sheet without degrading its properties.
Forming: Vacuum or air pressure shapes the pliable sheet against a mold, with plug-assist technology ensuring uniform thickness for complex parts.
Trimming: Excess material is removed via automated die cutting or CNC routing, delivering a polished product.
Rayshape’s Plastic Thermoforming Machines
Wenzhou Rayshape Machinery Co., Ltd. offers a range of plastic thermoforming machines tailored to diverse production needs, emphasizing automation, energy efficiency, and precision.

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.
