AUTOMATIC FORM CUT STACK (3 & 4 stage Thermoforming Machine) Models 2416 AFCS 2420 AFCS 3024 AFCS 2416 AFCS-P 2420 AFCS-P 3024 AFCS-P 2416AFCS Automatic Form Cut & Stack Machine Automatic Operation Material is reel fed into a 3-stage heating station and formed. The formed sheets are then trimmed and stacked. Accurate Indexing Material transport uses a spiky chain system powered by servo drive for indexing accuracy. Ridat’s AFCS series of Automatic Form Cut & Stack Machines, (both vacuum forming and pressure forming versions) is ideally suited for inexpensive production coupled with flexible operation, high quality output and precision finishing. Reliability & Durability Robustly constructed, the AFCS series of Automatic Form Cut & Stack Machines are durable and provide reliable production in the toughest environments. Easy Control User-friendly HMI operator interface panel is fitted to provide for easy setup prior to automatic running. The adjustable settings include: heating temperature, index length and speed and timing of other processing variables. After initial setup, the machine operation is automatic and continuous. Settings can easily be stored for subsequent use. Ridat thermoforming machines are produced to high safety standards and conform to the latest harmonised standards relating to the Machinery Directive, Low Voltage Directive and Electomagnetic Compatibility Directive. All machines are CE marked in accordance with current European legislation.

Heating Using both upper and lower ceramic heaters ensures balanced temperature distribution to minimise material stress. The dual ceramic heaters also enable a wide variety of materials (such as PVC, PS, APET, GPET, HDPE) to be used in the machines.Temperature is monitored by PID software and can be controlled using the HMI panel. Forming Each thermoforming machine in the AFCS series is fitted with a high capacity reservoir and a vacuum pump to create an instant vacuum, regardless of the production rate or material used. After forming, the heated material is cooled by an air-jet. AFCS-P series...
