Efficiency in thermoforming is achieved through integration. Wenzhou Rayshape Machinery Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Elemotion Group, offers a 4-station Plastic Thermoforming Machine that combines forming, punching, cutting, and stacking into one automated flow.

This integration is crucial for complex products like ventilated fruit containers and connected-cover egg trays. By using servo motors for the cutting and punching stations, we ensure high precision and low maintenance.

Our machine is compatible with a wide range of materials, including BOPS, PVC, and PLA. With the capacity to store 90 sets of operating parameters, our equipment allows for rapid product changeovers, reflecting the Elemotion spirit of diligence and self-surpassing excellence in the high-end automation sector.

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.
