PP/PS Thermoforming Sheet Extruder
Is this PP / PS Thermoforming Sheet Extrusion Line suitable for your production needs?
If you are currently facing these issues
- Unstable sheet quality leading to fluctuating forming yield in inline production
- Sheets must be rewound and reheated, increasing energy use and floor space
- Sheet thickness or forming performance becomes inconsistent at higher output rates
How Chun Tai Helps Address Them
- Designed for thermoforming, ensuring stable sheet quality during production
- Direct inline connection eliminates rewinding and reheating
- Consistent forming performance maintained at high output speeds
Design Concept & Positioning
The PP(polypropylene) / PS(polystyrene) Thermoforming Sheet Extruder is developed for mass production in thermoforming applications, with a focus on maintaining consistent sheet quality under high-speed operation. The system can be directly connected to a thermoforming machine for inline production, eliminating sheet rewinding and reheating to reduce energy consumption, storage space, and overall process complexity. This design is suitable for thermoforming operations that require continuous production and consistent forming quality.
