Automation in Plastic Thermoforming

Automation is reshaping the economics of thermoforming.

Full-servo multistation formers such as the HFTF-C run at up to 50 cycles per minute with recipe-based changeover, while in-line crushers, rimming machines and packing units remove manual handling between stations.

The result: higher output per operator, more consistent quality, and a production line that can be supervised remotely.
