PP Thermoforming Sheet PS Thermoforming Sheet

Product Overview

The PP/PS Thermoforming Sheet Extruder is designed for high-speed, high-volume production of polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) sheets for thermoforming applications. It is suitable for products such as beverage cups, food containers, and medical sample cups. The extruder can be connected directly to a thermoforming machine for inline production. This setup eliminates the need for sheet rewinding and reheating, reducing energy use and storage space while improving efficiency. Whether for small-scale custom production or large-volume output, this machine provides consistent and reliable sheet performance to meet thermoforming industry standards.

FAQ

Q1: Can the extruder connect directly to a thermoforming machine?

A: Yes. It supports inline setup, removing the need for rewinding and allowing direct forming.

Q2: Does it support multilayer co-extrusion (e.g., A/B or A/B/A)?

A: Yes. Multi-layer configurations can be set based on production needs.

Q3: Can the machine process biodegradable materials like PLA?

A: No. It does not support PLA or other biodegradable materials.

Q4: Does it include automatic thickness control or inline measurement?

A: It includes inline thickness measurement but does not have automatic thickness control.

Q5: Can it process recycled materials? Are dehumidifying and blending systems supported?

A: Yes. Recycled materials can be used. Optional dehumidifying and blending systems are available.

Q6: Is the roller configuration adjustable or upgradeable?

A: No. The roller layout is fixed, with horizontal and vertical rollers included as standard.
