Thermoforming machine

TESPRO806 is fully automatic high-performance thermoforming machine designed for the production of containers from rigid thermoplastic films. Depending on the installed forming mold machine can produce trays, lids, clamshell containers etc. made from various types of polymers such as PS, OPS, PVC and ELM. Maximal thickness of thermoformed film is 800 µm. Forming area dimensions are 790 x 560 mm. depending on applied mold and the film type – maximal forming depth can reach 135 millimeters.  TESPRO machine can be equipped with stacker for automatic intercepting of formed containers which enables the full control over the height and distance between the stacks.

Packaging production technology

1. The material unwound from a roll is fed into the machine forming area. The heating platen is moved up until the knives area reached. The compressed air is injected pressing the material down to the heating platen ensuring its fast and uniform heating.
2. As plastic reaches the desired forming temperature, air is exhausted from the mold and forming air pressure is applied through thousands of tiny holes in the heating platen quickly forming the packages.
3. After the forming process is completed and the forming air is vented, the cutting dies penetrate the sheet, leaving just enough material to keep the packages connected to the web.
4. Then thermoforming machine opens and formed packages are removed by air leaving the mold. In some cases, the mechanical ejector is applied.
5. The formed packages, still attached to their web, are transported to the edge of the table and self – detached there.
