MACHINES FOR FILM THERMOFORMING:
TC57

Fully automatic machine for vacuum film thermoforming of trays, cases, blisters, etc. for the industries of food, cosmetics, packaging and similar.

Operation

The plastic film is unwound from the reel and warmed up in the heating module; when the preset process temperature has been reached, the film is driven into the moulding zone (positive or negative, depending on the item features) where the shape is formed, by means of vacuum.

After moulding the film is horizontally cut, to split the moulded area from the rest. The moulded shapes are taken out for subsequent handling in other units.

Features

Sturdy and accessible frame which allows for easy and simple maintenance jobs.
Operation control of all working parameters by means of PLC.
User friendly, touch screen interface.
Quick and easy maintenance.
Designed for high work flexibility, both for large outputs as well as for short production series.
Reduced overall dimensions, for an easy factory location.
Differential heating system, by means of moving louvers (patented).
Negative or positive moulds acceptable.
Transverse moulded film cutting.
Powered belt conveyor expelling of moulded items.
All sorts of thermoplastics acceptable (PVC, PET, OPS, PP, ABS, etc.).
On-line checking by modem (optional).
