The automatic pressure-forming machine RDM 54K with a forming area of 500 mm x 300 mm processes material film from the roll or inline directly from a connected extruder using combined in-place forming and pass-through punching tools. The ILLIG thermoforming machine is ideal in particular for products with a high draw ratio. The cam-controlled toggle lever system of the forming machine enables high forming and punching forces. The forming table of the K-machines tilts 80° in feed direction after the forming sequence. Ejectors then discharge the cups into the stacking station.
