Custom Vacuum Former for the Medical Industry

When a leading medical product manufacturer needed a vacuum forming solution that met stringent hygiene and temperature control requirements, they turned to Formech. We delivered a custom-engineered machine, based on our robust HD686 model, tailored to their exact specifications.

Addressing Critical Needs with Innovative Design

To ensure optimal hygiene and corrosion resistance, we meticulously constructed the machine's upper section and forming area using high-grade stainless steel. All pneumatic control valves and cylinders were also replaced with stainless steel housings, guaranteeing a contaminant-free production environment.

Unparalleled Temperature Control for Precision Forming

A key challenge was achieving precise heat management. Working closely with the customer, we designed a modified heater layout, equipping each element with a thermocouple for real-time feedback control. This allowed for accurate temperature setting and maintenance, crucial for the delicate materials used in medical applications.

Advanced Monitoring for Process Optimisation

For comprehensive monitoring, we strategically placed multiple pyrometers around the forming area. This provided detailed insights into the heating and cooling phases, enabling the customer to optimise their production process and ensure consistent product quality.
