Automatic Forming Machines – About

As is evident from their name, Automatic Forming Machines are used for forming or shaping an object into a desired pattern. Based on advanced technology, they don’t require any tedious manual effort for shaping materials even in large quantities. Automatic forming machines can be categorized in two types – Automatic Thermoforming Machine and Automatic Vacuum Forming Machine.

Automatic Thermoforming Machine

Thermoforming is a manufacturing process of heating a plastic sheet which is pliable. The huge volume of sheet is heated in an oven, trimmed to certain shape and then cooled to produce the finished product. A tabletop machine is used for limited output and large computer-controlled Automatic Thermoforming Machines are used to produce huge quantities. Advanced thermoforming machines are much faster and much more efficient compared to small machines. The advanced way of thermoforming is quite similar to the vacuum process but is generally used for mass production, at higher speed.

Used For:

• Thin plastic sheets are thermoformed to produce medical packaging, disposable cups, plastic clamshell packaging etc.
• Thick plastic sheets are thermoformed to produce automobile components, home appliances and many other electronic components.

Automatic Vacuum Forming Machine

Vacuum forming is a procedure of shaping plastic materials into desired patterns by using vacuum. This process can be used to produce objects in unusual shapes such as boxes, dishes and others. The process of shaping an object using Vacuum Forming Machines includes three stages. Heating, shaping and cooling are those three different stages for shaping an object. A mould is placed in a heated oven to give it a specific shape and cooled within some amount of time. Vacuum forming machine is faster than any other shearing or forming machine. Besides, low-cost of its moulds makes it economical for use. However, the quantity, shape and material of the product should be taken into consideration before using an object for vacuum forming.

Used For:

• Vacuum Foaming of items such as lunch boxes, trays, lids, plates and many more.
• Plastic articles such as seed trays, burger boxes, ampoules tray, partition tray and cosmetic tray etc. are made using Automatic Vacuum Foaming Machine.
