CAPABILITIES

Vacuum Forming Machines

Thermoforming is the most cost effective and quality solution for your manufacturing needs.

Thick Gauge Thermoforming

Global Thermoforming has capabilities of forming up to 1” thick. We’ve formed all types of thermoforming plastics in our industry and have helped our customers form their ideas into solutions they never dreamed of.

Thin Gauge Thermoforming

Thin gauge thermoforming is primarily the manufacture of disposable cups, containers, lids, trays, blisters, clamshells, and other products for the food, medical, and general retail industries.

Secondary Operations

In addition to our custom thermoforming, we provide a variety of secondary services including CNC trimming, assembly, printing, painting, and drape forming.

THERMOFORMING MACHINES

In-house Vacuum Forming Machines and Equipment

In-house capabilities feature multiple of the following machines.

MAAC | FORMS UP TO 1'x1' - 11'X7'

Rotary Thermoforming Machine

Rotary thermoforming equipment can introduce even greater productivity in forming operations by arranging three or four workstations around a central area. Rotary machines with five stations are sometimes used but are far less common than three- and four-station machines. Only one mold and one forming station are needed on a rotary machine.

THICK GAUGE THERMOFORMING

THIN GAUGE THERMOFORMING

SENCORP 2500 | SENCORP 2500 ULTRA

In-line, Roll-fed Thermoforming Machine

A continuous web of material is fed from a roll and then clamped into a chain conveyor. The web moves through a bank of heaters, gets formed, and is moved out. The part is trimmed during cooling.

THICK GAUGE THERMOFORMING

THERMWOOD | CUTTING UP TO 10’ X 5’

5 Axis CNC Routers

Our Thermwood 5-axis CNC Routers are specifically developed for three-dimensional machining and holding tight tolerances. A computer numerical control (CNC) router is a computer-controlled machine that can hold much tighter and more consistent tolerances than held by hand routers.

THICK GAUGE THERMOFORMING

BROWN | SIZES RANGING FROM 1’X1’ - 11’X7’

Shuttle Thermoforming Machine

Here, the sheet is clamped into a movable frame. The frame is located to the side of the stationary heaters. The sheet is then moved into the heater; when it reaches forming temperature, the sheet is moved back to the loading station and pressed into contact with the mold. The part is formed and cooled. The part is ejected after the mold is retracted.
