Thermoforming and vacuum forming equipment forms thermoplastic sheets or films over molds into finished shapes. Thermoforming equipment and vacuum forming equipment use two basic types of thermoplastic materials: thin-gauge and thick-gauge. Thin-gauge thermoplastics are delivered in rolls and have a thickness less than 1.5 mm. Thick-gauge thermoplastics are delivered as stackable sheets that vary in thickness between 1.5 mm and 3 mm. Thin-gauge materials are used to produce rigid or semi-rigid parts for applications such as disposable packaging. Thick-gauge or heavy-gauge materials are used in automotive, consumer products, and electrical enclosure applications.
Selecting thermoforming equipment and vacuum forming equipment requires an analysis of product specifications, features, and approvals. Thermoformer product specifications include: forming area, depth of draw, sheet width, material thickness range, machine dimensions, machine height, and air pressure. Air consumption, power consumption, main supply voltage, knife length, and clamping force are additional parameters to consider when selecting thermoforming machines.
