Thermoforming
In recent years, thermoforming part design has developed rapidly and become more multifaceted. Because the thermoforming process offers advantages such as superior finished part quality and the ability to form large parts, processors are investing in larger and faster machines and expanding both upstream and downstream services.
Although thermoforming consists of a broad range of materials, material thicknesses and processing levels, Watlow can help optimize your process. Whether you require a 'sealed face' heater to keep sheet/roll contaminants away from the element while offering ease-of-cleaning and longer life, or overall precise process control, Watlow's family of heater, temperature sensor and controller solutions can meet your needs.
Regardless of the application, Watlow has the solution to meet your need:
- Heaters - Radiant, Strip and Tubular
- Control System Controllers - SERIES SD
- Power Controllers - DIN-A-MITE®, E-SAFE II™, SERIES CZR and Solid State Relays
- Sensors - Raytek® and other Richmond products
Applications include:
