Thermoforming Centre

This Thermoforming Centre combines six processes into a single, mobile unit: Vacuum Forming, with two sheet sizes of 305 x 305mm and 305 x 152mm. Fan Circulated Oven with digital temperature control up to 400°C. This can be used for heating materials prior to dome blowing, injection moulding, extrusion and dip coating. Dome Blowing: three diameters, 305, 225 and 152mm. Plastic Dip Coating, with a fluidised bath 150 x 150 x 250mm deep. Injection Moulding, pneumatically actuated, complete with two moulds. Extrusion, complete with I section extrusion nozzle. Plastic Welding, with an industrial hot air welding torch, work table and adjustable angle stop.

N.B. If space is at a premium and resources need to be shared between rooms, this gives all the plastic-forming tools a department is ever likely to need in a neat format. Individual capacity is limited so, for most schools and colleges, stand-alone machines will be a more economical solution in addition to, or instead of, this machine.
