Fully automatic four-station plastic thermoforming machine TTF-820AF
TTF series fully automatic four-station plastic thermoforming machine is our latest core product. The machine integrates forming, punching, cutting and stacking in one, and is a four-in-one machine. It has a wide range of uses and is suitable for large forming areas required by customers. It can produce plastic trays, containers, trays, clamshell cake boxes, lids, etc. The machine is fully driven by servo motors, with stable operation, low noise, high efficiency and high quality.
Product structure and working principle
The four-station plastic thermoforming machine is mainly composed of a feeding system, a heating system, a molding system, a punching system, a cutting system, a stacking system and a control system. Its core working principle is to soften the plastic sheet by high-temperature heating, then use the mold to form it, and finally obtain the desired shape of the product through the cutting system. The four-station design allows the equipment to perform four different processes simultaneously in one working cycle, greatly improving production efficiency.
Feeding system
Plastic sheets are automatically transported to the heating zone by the feeding system. The feeding system is usually equipped with precision servo motors and guide rails to ensure that the sheets enter the heating zone stably and evenly. This process can be adjusted according to the thickness and material properties of different sheets to ensure the best heating effect.
Heating system
The heating system uses a German Elstein brand ceramic heater, which can quickly and evenly heat the sheet to the set temperature. The temperature controller automatically adjusts the power output of the heater by real-time monitoring the temperature of the heating zone to ensure that the sheet reaches the ideal softening state within the appropriate temperature range.
Forming system
The forming system includes an upper mold, a lower mold and a vacuum or pressure forming device. After the heated sheet enters the forming area, the upper and lower molds will quickly close together, and the sheet will be stretched or compressed into the mold shape through vacuum suction or pressure to form the desired product shape. During this process, the forming parameters (such as pressure, time, etc.) can be accurately set through the control system to meet the forming requirements of different products.
Cutting system
The formed sheets will be automatically fed into the cutting area. The cutting system uses high-speed cutting tools or die-cutting devices to accurately cut according to the preset product size and shape. The cutting system can also be equipped with a waste recycling device to centrally process the cut scraps to reduce material waste.
Stacking system
The finished products will be automatically sent to the stacking area. The stacking system will stack and sort the finished products according to the preset quantity and place them neatly on the output table for subsequent packaging or transportation.
Product Advantages
Efficient Production
Multi-station Synchronous Operation: The four-station design allows the equipment to heat, form, cut and stack at the same time, greatly shortening the production cycle, which is particularly suitable for large-scale assembly line production.
High-speed operation: The equipment can achieve multiple forming cycles per minute, significantly increasing the output per unit time, and is an ideal choice for mass production.
Precise Control
Advanced Control Technology: The intelligent PLC control system combines high-precision sensors with a high-precision human-machine interface (HMI), high temperature control accuracy, and a temperature control error of <1°C. The operator can easily set and monitor various parameters such as temperature, pressure, forming time, feeding speed, etc. through the touch screen. The control system also has fault diagnosis and alarm functions, which can prompt the operator to handle abnormal conditions in time when the equipment is abnormal. Achieve precise control of key process parameters to ensure consistent quality of each batch of products.
Flexible and diverse
Multi-material compatibility: The equipment can be applied to a variety of plastic materials, such as polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), etc., and can produce products of various thicknesses and sizes.
Easy mold replacement: Mold replacement is simple and fast, supporting the rapid switching production of diversified products, especially suitable for multi-variety and small batch production.
Stable and reliable
Sturdy and durable: Each station of the equipment structure adopts a four-column structure, which has been precisely processed and has excellent durability and wear resistance, ensuring long-term safe and stable operation.
Automatic maintenance system: The equipment is equipped with automatic lubrication and fault self-detection systems to extend the service life of the equipment, reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
Energy saving and environmental protection
High-efficiency heating system: Energy-saving heating technology is adopted to reduce energy consumption, reduce operating costs, and effectively reduce the impact on the environment.
Low-noise operation: Noise control is fully considered when designing the equipment, in line with environmental protection standards, and provides a quieter operating environment.
