Roll-Fed · Vacuum

High-Volume
Roll-Fed Production.

Continuous vacuum thermoforming for high-volume production of thin gauge plastic products. Roll-fed operation with servo-driven spike chain indexing eliminates manual handling. IR Ceramic heating (top side only) with PID algorithm control. Optional hydropneumatic press add-on for punching run-offs.

AM-V Forming Cycle — Step by Step.

Roll Feeding

Material roll feeds continuously — servo-driven index advances sheet per cycle

Sheet Clamping

Sheet indexed and clamped at forming station — precise registration

Heating

IR heater bank heats sheet to forming temperature — zone control available

Vacuum Forming

Forming station activates — sheet drawn over mould by vacuum

Cooling

Formed parts cool — web advances to trimming or stacking station

Trim & Stack

Parts trimmed from web — stacked automatically or collected by operator

Machine Features

Roll Feeding System

Continuous roll-fed operation with servo-driven spike chain indexing eliminates manual handling and enables high-volume production.

Thin Gauge Specialization

Optimized for materials from 0.3mm to 1.5mm thickness, ideal for packaging applications requiring high production volumes.

Infrared Heating

Ceramic heating elements (top side only) with PID algorithm control provide precise temperature management for thin gauge materials.

Optional Punching Station

Add an inline hydropneumatic punching press or a standalone punching machine for trimming and punching run-offs after forming.

Technical Specifications

AM-V models available in two forming area sizes. Add optional inline or standalone punching station.
