With the Uniforma Series you can expect to get the finest inline technology in the world. The trim-in-place thermoforming, designed with care, adds ample ease and convenience to your processes. After having developed such a unique thermoformer, need was felt to back it up with a sheet extrusion unit that would qualitatively match the performance of the thermoformer. Thus evolved the K series sheet line extruders.
The continuous linear extrusion is synchronized to match the vertical cycles of thermoforming using an indigenous technology. This enables complete control of the process and delivers high quality products.
The Process
The inline machine comprises a sheet extrusion system and thermoforming machine integrated into one unit using WonderSoft controls. The granulate melted and extruded as a sheet by the sheet line extruder is directly fed into the thermoforming unit. A high-end technology enables temperature control to a high degree of precision. The forming takes place using Servo plug-assist pressure in combination with vacuum. The in-mould cutting completes the thermoforming process. In order to achieve high precision and thus complete control over the process, Uniforma incorporates the Wondersoft machine control systems.
The Thermoformer
This All-Servo thermoforming machine is fully automatic and mechanically driven with trim-in-place facility. The machine incorporates:
Servo-driven platen movement
Servo-driven plug assist
Servo-driven indexing
Touch screen based WONDERSOFT machine control system
Advantages
• Low energy consumption: Since the sheet is fed directly into the thermoformer in hot condition, the power consumption of heaters in the thermoformer is reduced.
• Improved product quality and hygiene: Automation reduces manual handling to a great extent. This ensures product purity and better quality; avoiding mixture of grades on the shop floor.
• Flexibility of production: Adjustable for various product capacities, if necessary, by addition of extra lines or even run it offline whenever needed.
• Space saving and economical: Being inline, the winding station of the sheet line extruder and the unwinding unit of the thermoformer become redundant. This saves space to a large extent.
• Reduced manpower requirement: Since the processes are automated to a great degree, manpower required to run the machine is reduced.
• Synchronised for optimum productivity: The continuous extrusion speed is adapted to the discontinuous forming cycles of the thermoforming machine with specially designed software. This enables the sheet extruder to be completely harmonized with the thermoformer and produce excellent quality products and thus enable both machines to speak the same language.
Wondersoft Sheet Line Extruder Control System
Wondersoft, a machine control system that comprises of PLC, VFD, Touch Screen, SCADA, electrical components etc, logically controls the machine's processes by monitoring and /or modifying various parameters through operator interfacel. It gives great flexibility and a host of other controls at the touch of your fingers to change speed. Wondersoft includes significant features like different product recipes, diagnostic and troubleshooting tips, maintenance mode, Password protection, User help, trends for PID temperature controllers, total production counter, running speed, running hours, and dedicated hardware whenever necessary.
