OverviewThe ROTO series ROTOFORM S1 and S10 are fully automatic thermoforming systems arranged in an in-line two-unit configuration: a thermoforming machine and a separate horizontal cutting press.
Configuration and operation- Thermoforming by vacuum and/or compressed air
- Two units operating separately in-line: thermoforming machine; horizontal cutting press
- Horizontal cutting press speed up to 3× the thermoforming unit
Materials and feed- Processes PS, PVC, PET and, in some cases, PP
- Starting material: bobbin; system can be integrated with extrusion from granule for direct in-line production
Drive and control- Electro-mechanical drive with servomotors
- Toggle-set mechanism on movable platens of the forming press
- PLC control for heating zones, servomotors and production cycle management
Performance and tooling- Servo-driven toggle system enables high production speeds
- Cutting press runs 3× faster than forming unit, allowing blanking tools 1/3 the size and lower tooling costs
Applications- Suitable for high-volume production of rigid packaging components, trays and similar thermoformed parts
