Overview
Our thermoforming machine POLY series is a fully automatic model for the production of items starting from bobbin. It is designed to process the following materials: PS, EPS, PP, EPP, PVC, PET, PETG, ABS, HIPS, OPS, PLA and mPLA.

POLYFORM 80
POLYFORM 80 is the most technologically advanced thermoforming machine of the series with in-line stations and cutting by steel rule cutter (die cutting system). The machine is suitable to thermoform by vacuum and/or compressed air and is moved by an electro-mechanic system with servomotors that operate a set of toggles installed on the movable plates of the forming press and of the cutting press. This motion system enables high production speeds not achievable by other motion systems. It is possible to use forming moulds with incorporated rule-cutter (in-mould die cutting) as in the POLYFORM 80/RCM supplied without a separate cutting station. Heating zones, servomotors and all cycle-determining functions are controlled by a PLC system.

Cost and tooling
POLYFORM 80 series allows the use of simple forming, cutting and stacking tools enabling production of thermoformed items at very low costs, even for small production quantities. Machines can be equipped with different accessories on request.

GN800
In partnership with an experienced Canadian machine manufacturer AGRIPAK also developed the GN800, a new hi-tech dedicated thermoforming machine with in-line stations.
