Vacuum forming is a plastic forming process in which a heated and flexible plastic sheet is placed on a mold and then using air suction, the sheet is shaped into a mold.
Vacuum Forming
This process is considered a cost-effective and flexible production method and is used to produce a wide range of plastic products. In the process of vacuum forming, first the desired mold is designed and produced and placed on the vacuum forming machine. Then the soft and flexible transparent plastic sheet (thermoplastic) is placed on the mold and using a vacuum vacuum pump by creating negative pressure through suction, the air between the sheet and the mold is discharged and the plastic sheet is well formed on the vacuum forming mold. Finally, the cooling process is done in order to maintain the state of the plastic sheet and the sheet is directed to the cutting section. Vacuum forming packaging is one of the best methods for packaging products such as cosmetics, tools, food, sweets and chocolates, electronic products, toys, car accessories, etc.
Machine Machinery and Vacuum Forming Machine
The automatic vacuum forming machine is a machine for forming plastic sheets (pvc-pet-abs), which can be used to produce vacuum packaging, shaped parts and plastic processing. This machine has a feed section where the film or roll of plastic sheet is placed, and the main part of the machine includes a sheet picker, mold strap, heater, cooling guns and a vacuum pump, which is the main process of vacuum forming.
The automatic vacuum forming machine has high speed and power in the production of vacuum parts, the intervention of the operator is very little in this machine. It is equipped with cooling guns and thermal heaters. A cutting blade is installed at the end of the machine to cut the formed parts. It can be said that the operator's involvement in this machine is 20% to 80%, in In fact, 80% of the work is done automatically by the device. This device is controlled by PLC system.
How does a Vacuum Forming device operate?
The work of the machine starts with the injection of raw materials for the production of packaging materials, which are often made of PVC, plastic and polyethylene. By injecting raw materials, turning on the device means starting its work. First, the operator determines how much the heater section will heat the sample. The difference between the vacuum forming machine and the thermoforming machine is that more heat is used in the thermoforming process and the plastic heats up more. not high In the second step, with the help of a suction pump, the air inside the mold is drawn and a vacuum is created completely. The created vacuum pulls the plastic layer and raw material into the mold. Molds are a metal layer designed in different shapes and their shape determines the shape of the final package. By creating pressure with the help of vacuum, the plastic layer is shaped into a metal mold and the molding process ends. With the cooling of the vacuum forming process, it is finished and it is possible to use the molds.
why the Vacuum Forming Machine
They are different according to the type of business and the type of workshop. In any case, using this device comes with the following benefits:
High speed in the production of plastic packages: One of the biggest advantages of using a vacuum forming machine is that the workshop can produce plastic packages at a very high speed. In these devices, there is no casting and melting process and all the steps are done with the help of the device in an advanced manner. Interestingly, it does not take much time to cool down the mold of the machine and it can produce a large volume of plastic packages in a short period of time.
Producing the same packages in the same way: Perhaps one of the most important parts in forming machines is the machine mold or machine table. These molds are in different shapes that determine the shape of the package. As long as the mold of the machine is not changed, the production process of the product continues in the same way. Therefore, if we want to produce the same packages, such as the same disposable containers, without changing the mold or any measurements, we can easily make different orders.
Possibility of continuous production for the volume of different orders: When we use the vacuum forming machine, we have a large machine at our disposal that does not do any special mechanical work and even the operator does not interfere much in its work. does not have This means that you can accept a large volume of large and small orders and continuously produce products with the machine. This feature is the best possible news for those who have collected a lot of customers and are looking to earn money.
The vacuum forming machine has a simple mechanism and the operator can easily learn how to work with it. Although advanced technology is used in these devices, it is possible to use it in large industrial workshops and small home workshops.
