Upgraded Former is Faster, More Precise
New features reportedly offer more efficient production of trays, containers, hinged boxes, pallets, blisters, lids and technical products.
Kiefel’s new Speedformer KMD 78.2 Premium is billed as faster and more precise than its predecessor, the KMD 78.1 Premium. The new thermoformer has features that reportedly offer more efficient production of trays, containers, hinged boxes, pallets, blisters, lids and technical products.
The machine also enables fast and simple tool change, making it easy to switch film between production runs and increasing machine utilization, hte company says.
While maintaining the same forming area as its predecessor, this new machine comes equipped with a bigger vacuum and forming air system, along with more powerful servo-drives for the forming, punching, and cutting stations. This improved capability leads to a higher production speed, allowing up to 45 cycles/minute and resulting in higher output.
The machine is also furnished with servomotor drives for tables, plug assist, film transport, and the stacking pusher. This advanced technology together with its faster heater-bank response allow for greater precision and efficiency throughout the production process, resulting in higher-quality products.
The thermoformer is equipped with an updated, faster Pick & Place Inline. This is a dual-stacking system that enables an existing up-stacking tool to be used. The Up-stacker now has an improved pusher servo-drive. The ejector and A/B-ejector drive with servo-motors can also be specified. More customizable stacking solutions are also available.
