- 10% lower thermoforming tool weight = up to 15% lower energy consumption*; optimizing cooling and reducing weight results in lower energy requirements for cooling and machine power consumption
- Up to 10% lower compressed air consumption* due to optimal air supply and reduced internal volume within the compressed air system
- Up to 15% lower cutting force*; new cutting line geometries and new coatings on cutting components can extend the service life of both the machine and the tool
- Up to 15% less film usage* through reduced spacing between bars and optimized transport chain capacity. * Based on standard thermoforming technology and applicable to most thermoformed products
IML In-Mould-Labeling next level
Retrofit existing systems with IML robotics for a minimal investment. Please feel free to contact us about this.
Greater cost-efficiency through new mold technology
High raw material prices and energy costs call for new, cost-efficient designs in the field of
thermoforming. Added to this is society’s desire for a smaller carbon footprint.
A combination of weight reduction and new mold technologies opens up new opportunities for
significant cost savings in the plastics processing industry.
New tamper-evident closure for thermoforming
- Innovative technology using servo motors
- Optimization of lower mold section control
- Compensation for unstable tooling parameters (e.g., film thickness and quality)
- No interruption to production processes
- Significant reduction in the scrap rate
- Target and actual values are recorded; discrepancies are immediately compensated for by the actuator
- Beneficial for the closure’s predetermined breaking point and seal rim design, as well as for many other new applications
As an independent mold maker and a competent partner to the packaging industry, we manufacture base thermoforming molds and specialized, custom-ordered molds for producing cups, trays, lids, and other packaging shapes. Our portfolio also includes prototypes, production molds, tooling for form-fill-seal systems, complete format sets, steel rule dies, blanking dies, and stacking units for virtually all standard thermoforming machines.
