Advantages of the INTEC in-line thermoforming process: • Improved quality of the final product; • Better use of raw material; • Better use of energy = energy saving; • Space reduction; • Personnel reduction; • Optimization of production output. Working In-line – facts to consider: The In-line pro- cess is usitable for huge and long series productions. Disposables plates and cups, dairy products containers like yogurt cups or butter/margarine tubs are typical applications. Due to the involvement of extruders, calender, ther - moforming and stacking groups, it takes time to change from one product to another. The In-line process requires one extruder for one ther- moforming machine. For this reason in some cases the In-line thermoforming doesn’t offer the same final Kgs output than using one extruder separately. It is impor- tant to size properly the extruder capacity according to the product to be thermoformed. Conclusion: The production with In-line technology system has extremely positive results in terms of qual- ity, costs and efficiency, despite a little less flexibility. For large batches the investment in the In-line solution is ab- solutely convenient. WM THERMOFORMING MACHINES SA www.wm-thermoforming.com
