Description
Tilting thermoforming machine is a Form & Trim In-mold thermoforming machine, with automatic, servo electric mechanical drive system that includes an automatic stacking system and additional tilting movement.
This Form & Trim In-mold thermoforming machine is applicable for all typical thermo plastic materials, particularly for products that require precise trim tolerances such as deep draw PP Containers of Drink Cups. Form & Trim In-mold thermoforming machines can be configured to run roll fed or in-line with extrusion line. The state of the art technology is energy efficient and easy to operate with minimum maintenance required. The adjustable top platen is for different tool shut heights mold and cutting depth regulation. For uniform wall distribution control the male plugs controlled by servo system. The bottom platen is movable, driven by a conjugated cam system for the forming process and final trim action that enables the mold to tilt by 75 degrees to allow thermoformed containers approach to automation system for the stacking.
The variable speed cam for process optimization. The insulated heat tunnel is equipped with multi controlled zones and mounted with high quality ceramic heating elements to ensure the temperature of the sheet is precisely managed.
For accurate index and synchronous signals for the program interface, the chain feed index is controlled by a servo motor as well. The chain rail width is adjustable by a series of motors.
We supply two different automation solutions for the finished product collection which include:
- Waterfall Automatic Stacking System
- Mandrel Swiveling Pick Place Automatic Stacking System
Both Automatic Stacking Systems can conjugate with automatic packaging system for light weight quality thermoformed containers on fast speed production. The scrap bridge conveyor guides the skeleton scrap to an in-line post-granulator or winder, which are located downstream or turn 90 degree to the right/left hand machine side to minimize the space requirement and manpower.
The state of the art technology is truly global and aims at energy saving, efficient production, operation friendly, supreme quality and minimum maintenance ensuring customers gain maximum profitability.
