As an efficient processing method, thermoforming has many advantages, mainly including the following points:
1. Low cost
Low energy consumption: The thermoforming process is simple and the energy consumption during the processing is relatively low.
Low operation and maintenance costs: The operation and maintenance costs of the machine are also relatively low.
Low processing cost per piece: Due to the continuous production and high production efficiency, the processing cost of a single product can be reduced.
2. High efficiency
Continuous production: The thermoforming process can produce continuously, reducing production interruptions and waiting time.
Short processing time: The processing time of a single piece is usually within 10 seconds, and multiple finished products can be formed at one time, which greatly improves production efficiency.
3. Strong adaptability
Adapt to products of different specifications: Thermoforming can well adapt to product sizes of different specifications and meet diversified production needs.
Strong material adaptability: Semi-finished products of various thermoplastics (such as films, sheets, plates or pipes) can be used as raw materials for thermoforming, such as PS, PMMA, PVC, ABS, PE, PP, PA, PC and PET.
4. Short new product development cycle
Simple process adjustment: When producing new products, only a new mold and clamping device are needed, and mass production can be carried out by adjusting the production parameters.
Shorten development cycle: Thermoforming process can shorten the development cycle of new products and bring products to market faster.
5. Wide range of applications
Daily necessities: such as packaging of utensils, food and medicines.
Industrial parts: automotive parts, radar covers, aircraft cabin covers, etc.
Other fields: It can also be used for building accessories, chemical equipment, etc.
6. Low equipment investment
Low pressure requirements: The pressure required for thermoforming is not high, and the pressure control requirements for equipment are not high, which reduces the equipment investment cost.
7. Convenient mold manufacturing
Various materials: Due to the low molding pressure, mold materials can be used as mold materials in addition to metals, wood, plastics, gypsum, etc.
8. Optimize material properties
Improve strength and plasticity: Thermoforming can optimize the refinement degree and grain boundary state of steel and improve the strength and plasticity of materials.
