We also have three forming machines giving us a full range of thermoforming capabilities. Including vacuum, pressure and drape forming, free blow forming and matched mold forming. Our newest addition is a fully automated ultramodern vacuum former with features that enable us to reduce waste and scrap while saving time. Without sacrificing the quality or consistency of parts produced.

Advantages of our state-of-the-art vacuum forming equipment:

• Very precise temperature control in seventy high powered zones for parts up to 54″ x 78″.
• Real time temperature measurement of the sheet also allows forming at the same temperature every time resulting in consistent parts.
• High speed and tightly controlled movement of mold and plug assist platens gives excellent control of wall thickness profile. Resulting in material cost savings by allowing the use of thinner gauge sheets.
• Power saving features conserves energy when compared to conventional equipment.
