Product catalog summary
Overview
The Ridat AVF range is designed for the consistent production of thicker materials, accommodating thermoforming materials between 0.5-12mm in thickness. These machines are robustly constructed for durability and reliability in multi-shift operations.

Specifications
The AVF models include 4040AVF, 6040AVF, 8040AVF, and 10048AVF, each with varying sheet sizes, air usage, power usage, and other specifications. For example, the 8040AVF model supports a sheet size of 2.0 x 1.0 meters and uses 90 kW of power.

Control and Safety
The machines feature a user-friendly HMI operator panel for easy setup and operation. They conform to high safety standards, meeting the Machinery Directive, Low Voltage Directive, and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive, and are CE marked.

Features
Standard features include systems to control sheet sag during heating, high-velocity cooling fans, and a water-cooled heat reflector. The machines also offer easy accessibility for fitting molds and maintenance.

Heating and Forming
Dual ceramic heaters ensure balanced temperature distribution, minimizing material stress. The duplex heater system allows for heating thick materials with minimal stress. A photoelectric sensor controls bubble height for pre-stretching, and a high-capacity vacuum system ensures efficient forming.

Applications
Typical applications include automobile and aircraft components, suitcase shells, refrigeration doors, bathtubs, shower trays, wash basins, and display stands.

Optional Features
Optional features include plug assistance, pyrometer for heating or cooling, servo for drape movement, reel/sheet-feed attachment, and a pre-heat oven.
