Simultaneous forming and cutting

Termostampi has developed a mould with simultaneous forming and cutting technology for the production of polypropylene cups with 70.5 mm diameter and a capacity of 220 cc. Characterized by 60 cavities in staggered rows to reduce scrap to a minimum, the machine can produce up to 100,000 cups per hour. Cooling is more efficient by optimization of the water channels, while the upper mould half features a "Semi Air Saving" system which has an electrically controlled pneumatic valve that provides a more prompt forming air response for each cavity, resulting in shorter cycle times. Products of different capacities require simple format change operations which minimize machine down time.
