The thermoforming machines model BasicLine and SuperLine of New Generation line, are a universal system suitable for the production of household refrigerator inner doors and liners, which does not need any additional adjustments: a series of in line stations make fully automatic the forming process of plastic materials in sheet (ABS and HIPS) with thickness from 0,5 to 8 mm. LOADING • Sheet HEATING • One station in BasicLine, two for SuperLine • IR ceramic, quartz, or fl ash black heating elements FORMING • Forming by vacuum in the mould and ballooning through a bell located in the upper part of the heating station • Bell capable to work with positive molds with 2 similar or different shapes (Side-by-Side) • Cooling system to quickly cool down the thermoformed part • Positive or negative moulds CUTTING • Perimetral cut by guillotine or presse Compared with the standard line, the forming process is here obtained through the establishment of vacuum in the mould, while the bubbling stage of the material is executed by a “bell” located in the upper section of the forming station. It is possible to use 2/4 bar compressed air (Pressure Forming) inside the bell during the material’s forming process and also the Cooling System, a rapid cooling of the thermoformed part.
