Many people still don't understand the basic information about thick sheet thermoforming. As manufacturers, we need to briefly explain it. In fact, thick sheet thermoforming is particularly suitable for the mass production of products because it achieves automated operation from raw materials to finished products, so it is efficient and the quality is relatively stable. However, the size is limited by the machine and can only meet the production within the specified range. Its advantages are also reflected in different aspects. For example, it is technologically and economically advantageous. Speaking of this, everyone should know that in the packaging industry, unless you use cardboard as your packaging material, there is no other processing method that can compete with it.
The main advantage of thick sheet thermoforming processing lies in its technological and economic efficiency. Forming composite sheets, foamed sheets, and printed sheet products, using suitable molds instead of thick sheet forming machines. Thin-walled products can use high-melt viscosity sheets and thick sheets, while injection molding with the same wall thickness requires low-melt viscosity granules. For a small number of plastic parts, favorable mold costs are Thick Plate Thermoforming Another advantage of processing, while for large quantities of plastic parts, the thickness can be achieved, and thermoforming machines with very thin walls and high output are very advantageous. Thick plate thermoforming refers to a plastic forming process that uses electric heating and mold hot forming to form plastic sheets with a thickness of 0.2-1.5 mm. Thick sheet thermoforming technology is mainly used in the food, pharmaceutical, home appliance, and automotive industries and is one of the commonly used processing technologies.
Thick plate thermoforming, referred to as "thick plastic," is a special thermoforming process. It is mainly used to produce thicker blister products and has certain advantages. First, thick sheet thermoforming uses a large thickness in production, which can reach more than 10 mm, protecting the product and resisting external influences. Second, thick sheet thermoforming can use various raw materials, such as polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyurethane, which can improve corrosion resistance, temperature resistance, and wear resistance, making it a high-quality product for more industries.
In addition, advanced technologies such as hot melt technology can be used in thick plate thermoforming, making it safe, odorless, and meeting people's needs. In addition, various decoration methods such as wire drawing, laser, and printing can be used, making it exquisite and beautiful. The forming process of thick sheet thermoforming is very mature, greatly reducing production costs, making it affordable and suitable for mass consumption.
The processing principle of thick plate thermoforming is to place a plastic sheet with a thickness of 0.2-1.5 mm into a mold, apply heat and pressure to the surface of the plastic sheet, and cause it to undergo plastic deformation to form the required plastic product. Thick sheet thermoforming products have high processing accuracy, do not have high material requirements, and are mostly used for small and medium-batch production.
Thick Plate Thermoforming Multiple advantages:
1. Low cost: Low cost, under the condition of low precision requirements, products can be formed at a very low cost.
2. Short time: Short product time, high efficiency, can effectively improve efficiency.
3. Stable quality: Can better meet the precision requirements, and the appearance quality can also be guaranteed.
4. Complex structure: Can realize the processing of products with complex structures such as spatial polygons, component connections, and grooves.
5. Environmental protection: No noise, polishing can achieve a soft light effect, meeting environmental protection requirements.
These are the advantages of thick plate thermoforming. Its application in the food, pharmaceutical, home appliance, and automotive industries is becoming increasingly widespread. Due to its advantages of low cost, short construction period, and stable quality, it is being increasingly adopted.
In short, the advantages of thick plate thermoforming are very obvious, and it can meet the different needs of various industries, making thick sheet thermoforming popular. Various raw materials and decoration methods can be used to make thick sheet thermoforming beautiful, exquisite, affordable, safe, environmentally friendly, and popular.
