Refrigerated thermoforming

Eurochiller, based in Castello d'Agogna (Pavia, Italy), has been working for a number of years now with OEMs who use air cooling systems as a complement to their thermoforming lines for production of appliance components. The result is an assessment of the true value of the ABF direct expansion system and production increases of over 5%.
As an example, the application of these cooling systems in combination with a thermoforming machine for 2,000 x 1,000-mm refrigerator cells has produced an increase in output from 92 to 97 parts/hour on all 3 work shifts.
The positive outcome in industrial applications demonstrates that the use of refrigerated, dehumidified air at a controlled temperature (±0.2°C) can bring significant benefits also in the production of thermoformed packaging.
