Thermoforming machines are specialized industrial equipment for plastic processing through a hot molding process. Thermoforming machines use preheated plastic sheets that are shaped using mechanical pressure or vacuum, allowing the production of parts with a thickness of less than one millimeter. These machines are widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food packaging, creating trays, blisters, and containers in laminated plastic.... At Makinate, you can find a wide selection of certified used thermoforming machines, ideal for optimizing your production line with a sustainable investment.
Thermoforming technologies: pressure and vacuum
Thermoforming can be carried out using two main technologies. In pressure forming, the plastic sheet is placed inside the mold and, thanks to the external air pressure, the sheet cools and solidifies into the desired shape. In the second method, the sheet is placed on a mold and, through air suction, it takes on all the details and characteristics of the mold itself. Modern thermoforming machines are equipped with preheating stations, mechanical forming with brushless motorization, and mold cooling systems to ensure constant precision and process repeatability.
Applications and versatility of thermoforming machines
Thermoforming machines are particularly common in the pharmaceutical sector for packaging vials, bottles, and syringes in laminated plastic, but they are also used in the cosmetic and food industries. These machines can work with various materials such as PP, PVC, PVC/PVDC, and PVC/Aclar with thicknesses from 0.2 to 0.5 mm, ensuring production versatility and adaptability to different requirements. Thermoforming machines with cantilever structures and pneumatic actuation offer quick and easy format changes, optimization of the loading area, and automatic positioning of sealing, pre-cutting, and cutting stations, ensuring efficiency and ease of maintenance.
