Product catalog summary
Overview
Ridat's next-generation thermoforming machinery is designed to be cost-effective and versatile, capable of handling a wide range of thermoplastic materials. The Midmatic Vacuum Former is a continuous, multi-purpose machine suitable for blister forming and general trade moulding, ideal for short to medium throughput operations.
Machine Description
The Midmatic Vacuum Former operates continuously, requiring minimal operator supervision. It is globally used and fully programmed to ensure consistent, repeatable results with low reject rates. The machine is reel-fed and incorporates a PLC with a user-friendly HMI operator panel for setting processing timers and zones, offering operational flexibility and quick changeover with low tooling costs.
Technical Specifications
Models available include 2420MM, 3020MM, 3624MM, and 4030MM, with varying forming sizes, air usage, power usage, floor area, and weight. The specifications are typical examples, with complete details available upon request.
Features
  • Supports a wide range of materials including PVC, HIPS, PP, PET, and ABS up to 3mm thick.
  • Automatic film feed and stepper drive for smooth material travel.
  • Ceramic heaters with multi-zone control for balanced heating.
  • Sealed vacuum chamber for pre-stretch and material control.
  • High-velocity cooling fans to increase production rates.
  • Centre pull guillotine for smooth sheet separation.
Optional Features
  • Plug assistance for deep draw products to improve material distribution.
  • Water-cooled bolster to eliminate heat build-up in the forming tool.
  • RC1 Re-circulator for use with water-cooled bolster.
Applications
Typical applications include blisters, clam shells, and transit trays.
Safety Standards
Ridat machines are produced to high safety standards, conforming to the latest harmonized standards related to the Machinery Directive, Low Voltage Directive, and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive. All machines are CE marked in accordance with current European legislation.

MIDMATIC VACUUM FORMING MACHINE-1

MIDMATIC VACUUM FORMING MACHINE Models: 2420MM 3020MM 3624MM 4030MM 4030MM Midmatic Vacuum Forming Machine Ridat thermoforming machinery is highly cost effective and will handle a wide range of thermoplastic material. It has served as the work horse to the thermoforming industry and most trade formers started their business with one. The Midmatic Vacuum Former is a continuous running, multi-purpose machine designed for both blister forming and general trade moulding. It is ideally suited for short to medium throughput operation. As a refined version of the Semi Automatic Vacuum Forming machine it employs the same basic principles – a sheet of plastic is heated to the requisite temperature to make it malleable; a form is then raised to the film plane and a vacuum applied to draw the plastic material around the form to assume its shape. The operation is continuous and permits uninterrupted production with the minimum of operator supervision. The Midmatic Vacuum Former – in wide use throughout the world – is fully programmed to ensure constant, repeatable results with low reject rates. The Midmatic Vacuum Forming Machine is a reel fed thermoformer combing proven and reliable characteristics of previous models, updated to current day by the use of PLC with user friendly HMI operator panel to set the various processing timers and zones. Furthermore it provides flexibility of operation and quick changeover with low tooling costs. Cycle times – many factors influence cycle time – type, colour and thickness of material; shape of mould; operator skill and experience.
