Used EMC Thermoforming machine that we bought new in 1985.
It will handle up to a 96"x192" female mold. We also used this machine for pre-decorated sign faces. It requires 460 volts- 700 amps of service. The heating elements are cal rods that we can order thru a local dealer. There are two ovens with 14 zones each with percentage meters, that are also chain driven on tracks. The top clamping frame is fully adjustable and does not move as it is located between the two ovens. 80 PSI. of air pressure is required for the clamping frames. We load the clamping frame by placing the material on the mold and raising it up into the clamping frame. After the machine is loaded, the mold frame is lowered and the cycle is started. For a 8x16 x¼" polycarbonate face we usually can cycle about every 25 to 30 minutes. A face this large needs three people to handle the sheet in and out of the machine..
After the machine is loaded and started all operations are automatic, but can controlled by the operator.
A 900 gallon vacuum tank comes with the machine, but no vacuum pump. The mold platen has hydraulic cylinders with the tank and pump included. No pit is required. This machine has a 20" max. draw depth.
Floor space required is 250" length, 270" in width including guards. This unit ships in 3 sections with approx. weight of 15000 lbs. Total shipping height is 95". No pit is required.
