Infrared Thermoforming Ovens
As specialists in infrared heating solutions, custom-designed industrial infrared thermoforming heating systems from Ceramicx are manufactured to the exact specifications and requirements of each customer. With precision configurations for increased thermoforming line efficiency, lower power consumption, and better forming, our engineers have the infrared technology for a bespoke, total heat solution. Materials we have worked with previously include ABS, PE, PS and PET.
Designed and built to your exact specifications and process requirements with full CE approval, a Ceramicx industrial thermoforming heating system provides the accuracy and repeatability you need for any sheet thermoforming processes, including vacuum forming.
Using the latest infrared heating technology and precision multi-zone heating control systems, every thermoforming oven is the ideal heating solution for any high output application. For full consistency in product quality, the upper and lower heating panels can also consist of two different element types.
Drawing on our extensive heatwork experience, a custom-designed Ceramicx heating system for your thermoforming oven is fabricated for your own unique processes. Using stainless steel inner frameworks for maximum reliability and durability, arrays of high quality Ceramicx infrared elements and polished aluminium reflectors give the balanced heat distribution needed to heat and shape your specified polymeric material.
Our design and engineering team also integrate the latest in heat control systems. Fully programmed and easy to use, they provide ultimate precision in speed, timing, and temperature control for your applications. As a complete standalone system or with the ability to integrate with existing machinery, the flexibility of design provides you with a completely bespoke heating and control solution, including.
