Thermoforming

Thermoforming is manufacturing process in which thermoplastic sheet or film produced. The sheet is process by heating it between infrared, natural gas, or other heaters. After this it is extended over or into a temperature-controlled, single-surface mold. The common example of thermoforming mold is cast or machined aluminum which is not only most common mold material but also easy to mold. The sheet is held against the mold surface until it cooled. The formed piece is then refined from the sheet. There are several kinds of thermoforming techniques. The most are formation of vacuum, pressure, twin-sheet, drape, free blowing and simple sheet forming.

There are different kinds of thermoforming machines available in stores that may provide the desired results for your project with efficiency and accuracy. These machines vary from low volume to high volume machines. The lab type thermoforming is also available. The techniques that are used in the process of thermoforming are blow molding, calendaring, coating, extrusion, injecting molding, rotational molding and transfer molding. Thermoforming process is the term used for a process of making plastic parts from a flat sheet of plastic through pressure and temperature. Plastics thermoforming mold is the most sophisticated form of thermoforming molds that can provide small tolerances, sharp detail and meet very stringent specifications.

The thermoforming equipment is classified by different technologies. The famous are HFM-700, HSC-660D, HSC-510570, HSC-660A models. The thermoforming equipment is designed by using advanced thermoforming technology, a combination of mechanical, electrical and pneumatic components. In the process of thermoforming heaters are used to heat plastic. The electric infrared, gas and Catalytic Heaters are used in transforming process. Electrical infrared thermoforming heaters are typically finished with ceramic, quartz tubes, and lamps. Thermoforming molds have only one side in process. The other side is filled with air pressure. As undercuts are not allowed in this process therefore these molds are relatively easy to manufacture.

GEISS Thermoforming:

GEISS provides thermoforming machines of the U and T series.

The machines fundamentally comprise of a closed machine box and are outfitted with adaptable fastening frames, PC control panel, independently organized heating elements and plug support and cooling fan with water spray cooling.

The most advantageous characteristics of these machines are:

1. Because of the perfect working height a platform or pit is not necessary,
2. All machines are licensed to CE.
3. Assurance of the process of any thermoplastic of any depth free from the equipment of the machine.

The supreme list of alternatives and choices for both series allows any specialization and computerization. Any adjustment is achievable, be it to augment the degree of automation or elasticity, or the limitation of retooling times.

GEISS provides a variety of advantages with complete focus on full customer service offering aid from RFQ through Quoting and Purchase Order Administration; Electro-Mechanical Components, Technical Engineering Shipment Tracking; PCB Fabrication & PCB Assembly, and Technical Training.
