Description: Thermoforming machine is driven by means of cam and follower system and is used for in-station forming and cutting of containers with flat or semi rolled (bend lip) edge. The machine uses moulds with built-in punching dies that guarantee complete concentricity of forming and cutting. As a result, high outputs are obtained from moulds with small number of cavities. The mechanical drive guarantees the repetition of the forming and cutting cycle with absolute accuracy of time, speed and quality. Indexing of plastic sheet is controlled by means of toothed chain minimising the wastage. PID temperature controllers control ceramic heaters. A lower heating bank is available for PP containers.
