PRESSES for CONTINUOUS THERMOFORMING

These are thermoforming systems designed for both discontinuous and continuous production.

The main features of these systems are:

• “Mould dimensions” settings in the supervision to minimize any waste of material.
• Adjustable centre distance between conveyors and movement chains according to the width of the fabric / material.
• Conveyors and chains’ grip of maximum 20 mm at the sides of the fabric / material.
• Adjustable fabric / material feeding speed.
• Automatic dislodgement and extraction of the fabric / material after the thermoforming phase.
• Brushless motors and drives for both the chains and all conveyor belts.
• 2 types of presses (room for either 2 or 4 pairs) with parallel closing movement (from 35 Tons up to 60 Tons) over a base with dimensions 600 x 300 mm or 670 x 670 mm.
• Adjustable height between the plates and closing stroke over the rod of the central hydraulic (oil) cylinder.
• General control board comprising an operating panel and a PLC with a dedicated software to handle all the relevant settings for the thermoforming operations.
• Double-chamber tunnel to pre-heat the material (from min. 0°C up to max. 190°C).
• Completely adjustable temperature regulation for the whole machine (max. 220°C).
• Highly insulating sheets placed both above and below the mould’s plates.
• Guaranteed safety for the operators thanks to protections with safety limit switches.
• Perimeter protections and safety barriers with EC certification included.
• As an optional extra, a tender with a hydraulic cylinder to have the mould exiting from the machine’s footprint to enable discontinuous thermoforming operations and/or the application of a 2^nd material or leather (the operator will have to place the fabric / leather on the mould).
• Chiller unit to work with Polyester and Eva.
• Small pre-heating ovens to heat up the 2^nd material.
• Automatic recoiler for the finished pieces.
