Features

Sunwell Global's MS Series is a high-performance Shallow Draw Thermoforming Machine, specifically designed for producing lightweight and shallow-formed foam products with advanced technology and exceptional efficiency. This machine offers precise control and versatile processing capabilities for various materials, including Polystyrene (PS), Polypropylene (PP), and Polyethylene (PE).

Advanced Shallow Draw Thermoforming Technology

The MS Series features a continuous separate station system with two stages: forming and independent trimming. This setup ensures efficient production of shallow containers and trays with clean, precise cuts. Integrated in-line scrap granulation minimizes waste and labor, enhancing production efficiency.

Servo-Driven Precision Control

Powered by dual-axis servo motors connected to mechanical toggles, the MS Series allows independent control of the top and bottom platens, ensuring accurate and consistent shallow forming. This makes it ideal for producing disposable food packaging and foam products.

Optimized Heating System

The heat tunnel is equipped with high-quality ceramic heating elements and multi-zone temperature controls to guarantee uniform heating of the sheet. The servo-driven chain feed index ensures precise material positioning and synchronization with the program interface.

Efficient Trimming Capabilities

The horizontal (or optional vertical) trim press features servo-driven moving platens with an extended stroke for accurate pre-punching and trimming of shallow-formed products. This ensures clean edges and high product quality.

Automated Handling and Scrap Management

Additional servo actions manage product indexing and ejection, accurately placing finished products onto the packing table for streamlined packaging. Post-trimming scrap is automatically fed into an in-line granulator, reducing space requirements and labor costs.

Applications

Plates / Dishes

Styrofoam Food Packaging

Poultry & Meat Trays
