blow-mould materials made from HDPE and PP in single- and
multi-layer designs (3-layer and 6-layer), including those with
transparent strips and polycarbonate, can be processed with
excellent results. The new design allows very fast colour
changes for the highest level of flexibility and cost efficiency.
Through the use of a characteristic BEKUM top or bottom
calibration, the production range can be expanded even furt-
her. Many proven and processsafe options of the familiar BA
34.2 will also be available in the new EBLOW 37. The future
is electric – including in the packaging.

AMUT: ACF 820 series of steel
rule cutting machines
The ACF 820 machine combines the characteristics of
V and F series, thus creating an innovative model ha-
ving:
- high level of standardization,
- exceptional repeatability,
- rugged durability,
- flexible production for a wide range of articles,
- increased high-speed performances.
This range of machines is suitable to handle different ma-
terials, such as PET, APET, RPET, CPET, OPS, HIPS, PS, EPS,
PP, PLA, PVC and to produce many items: trays, lids, fruits
and vegetables boxes, flowerpots, clamshells, nursery
trays and plates.
The ACF series has a modular concept and can be sup-
plied in different configurations such as:
- forming;
- forming and cutting in the same station;
- forming and cutting in two stations;
- forming, punching and cutting in three stations.
Up or down stackers, three-axis robot as well as custo-
mized special solutions are available to stack thermofor-
med parts with different nesting requirements.
To fulfill all thermoformers requirements and to meet any
potential demands, the ACF 820 can be equipped with a
wide range of options, including: servo driven plug assist
on upper and lower mould platens, high performance
mould clamping and cutting force, quick tools change
devices, different heat ovens configuration with power
saving heaters and many others.
The forming and cutting presses are equipped with coun-
terbalanced platens to increase the machine perfor-
mances at high speed. This series of machines is
completely servo driven and equipped with a new soft-
ware for cycles control that, along with a HMI friendly
use, guides the operator through the settings pages pro-
viding full diagnostic analysis.
The ACF machines can be integrated with a T-IML system
(In-Mould Labelling for the thermoforming sector), based

order to decorate the articles.
The use of steel rule cutting moulds makes this T-IML even more
competitive compared to the existing TIML systems based on
punch and die mould and to injection molding technology.
