Thick sheet thermoforming manufacturer Main production equipment:
Thick film thermoforming machine, acrylic laser machine, imported CNC, flat cutting machine, dividing machine, bending machine.
Plastic shell thermoforming Production principle: A plastic processing technology that uses thermoplastic sheets as raw materials. The sheets are heated in an oven to a softening temperature, then a vacuum pressure between the plastic sheet and the plastic shell thermoforming mold is used to adhere the plastic sheet to the mold surface. The surrounding area is sealed, and the internal vacuum is pulled to make the sheet fully adhere to the mold, thus obtaining the same shape as the mold. Then, a fan and water spray are used to cool the sheet, after which the mold is demolded.

Thick sheet thermoforming manufacturer Advantages and disadvantages: In the field of plastic processing, thick sheet thermoforming is considered a processing method with huge development potential. It has the advantages of low price, low mold cost, high production efficiency, free choice of shape and color, corrosion resistance, and light weight. However, thick sheet plastic shell thermoforming can only produce simple semi-shell products, and the wall thickness of the products is somewhat uneven (usually the straight edges are slightly thinner), and it is impossible to produce plastic products with exactly the same wall thickness.

Process application range: Currently, it is applicable to a wide range of industries, such as housings, major appliances, medical equipment thermoformed shells, television shell thermoforming, electric vehicle coverings, logistics pallets, large toys, lighting covers, advertising light boxes, display racks, and sanitary ware industries.
Plastic shell thermoforming The production process uses a fixed clamp to fix the plastic sheet to the mold, heats both ends of the plastic sheet until it softens, and then uses a vacuum pump to extract the air between the material and the mold. To make the softened plastic sheet adhere to the mold, air is blown in the opposite direction after cooling to release the product.

Advantages of plastic shell thermoforming covers:
Low cost, Plastic shell thermoforming The raw material is plastic, which is much cheaper than other processes except for paper packaging. There are many types of materials, and available plastic sheets include HDPE, ABS, HIPS, PET, PC, PP, and other composite materials; no waste. In the plastic shell thermoforming production process, sheet or semi-finished materials must be made, which will produce some corner materials. After crushing, these can be processed into plastic sheets.
