What Switching to the PF1-X-1210 Actually Delivers

A European packaging manufacturer replaced their ageing open-frame thermoformer with the PF1-X-1210. Twelve months later, here is what changed on the production floor.

+40%
Output Increase

Servo-driven cycle time reduced from 38 s to 22 s. Same shift, 40% more parts.

−25%
Energy Reduction

SSR-controlled IR heaters + servo drives cut electricity consumption from 64 kWh to 48 kWh per shift.

30 min
Mold Change Time

BTU quick-change system replaced a 3-hour manual mold swap. Now done by one operator.

< 6 mo
Payback Period

Energy savings + output gains covered the machine cost in under 6 months of production.

BeforeAgeing open-frame thermoformer
  • 38-second average cycle time
  • 64 kWh electricity per 8-hour shift
  • 3-hour mold change, 2 operators
  • No recipe storage — manual parameter entry
  • Pneumatic drive — inconsistent forming depth
  • No CE marking — compliance risk
AfterPF1-X-1210 by Machinecraft
  • 22-second average cycle time
  • 48 kWh electricity per 8-hour shift
  • 30-minute mold change, 1 operator
  • 200+ recipe storage on Mitsubishi HMI
  • 4-servo drive — ±0.1 mm forming precision
  • CE marked — EU Machinery Directive compliant

Results based on a European packaging manufacturer running 2 shifts/day, 5 days/week on 4mm HDPE sheet. Individual results vary by application, material, and shift pattern.
