Thick plate thermoforming and thick plate absorption forming are actually the same; they are just two names for the same technology. Materials used are thicker than 2mm and cannot be thermoformed by fully automated machinery; they must be processed using a semi-automatic thermoforming machine specifically designed for thick materials. So, let's understand Thick Plate Thermoforming the advantages of processing!

　　First, the concept of thick plate thermoforming and its application areas

　　Thick plate thermoforming or thick plate blister packaging refers to a process where the thickness of the forming material exceeds 2mm (generally ranging from 2-12mm or more), making automatic blister packaging impossible. Therefore, specialized semi-automatic blister packaging machines are required for processing.

　　From the perspective of different materials, thick plate thermoforming products include ABS thermoforming, PS thermoforming, PMMA thermoforming, etc. Major applications include medical equipment housings, advertising light boxes, large planting trays, smart robot housings, toy car body shells, electronic equipment housings, inner tank liners, and automotive interiors and exteriors. Notably, the application rate of thick plate thermoforming in automotive interiors, bumpers, and mudguards continues to increase, with ABS or ABS alloy materials being the most common.

　　Second, the main advantages of thick plate thermoforming

　　 Thick Plate Thermoforming It offers advantages such as material savings, light weight, convenient transportation, aesthetically pleasing appearance, and good sealing performance, saving labor and improving efficiency. In terms of safety and environmental protection, food-grade thick plate thermoforming products are ubiquitous.

　　Third, thick plate thermoforming processing technology

　　In thick plate thermoforming, the positioned sheet is heated in an oven until softened. A sealed space is formed in the blister packaging mold and its surroundings. The air inside the cavity is instantly evacuated, causing the sheet to come into close contact with the mold surface. Cooling and molding produce the final product. This blister packaging process is cyclical. The cycle includes loading, softening, back-flushing, blister packaging, cooling and shaping, demolding, and cutting. Repeating this cycle produces standard, beautiful thick plate blister packaging products.

　　Fourth, thick plate thermoforming cost analysis

　　The unit price of thick plate thermoforming = raw material cost + energy cost + labor cost + transportation profit. Of course, the labor costs of each manufacturer (involving factors such as management and production efficiency) vary, so estimates also differ. In addition, established manufacturers in the thick plate thermoforming processing industry, as well as raw material manufacturers like Dite, have advantages in cost management.

　　Fifth, Thick Plate Thermoforming Equipment

　　Thick plate thermoforming equipment includes thermoforming machines, punching machines, sealing machines, high-frequency machines, and edge bending machines. In large-scale thick plate blister packaging production, the size of the thermoforming machine is particularly important. This serves as an indicator of the capabilities of the blister packaging factory. Large thermoforming equipment can achieve molding sizes up to 4000*2000mm, which is quite impressive.
