Thermoforming machinery

Leading the processing growth was the expansion of twin-sheet and pressure-formed plastic products. Fueled mostly by advances in mold technology, material developments, and thermoforming machinery capabilities, technology improvements in the form of machine controls have led to machine designs that are faster and more consistent than was previously possible. As an example advanced materials and...

In USA machinery sales yearly demand normally is about 1.5 billion (not taking into account the depressed years that occur at least every 10 to 20 years. IMM is the largest category that accounts for at least 50% of all the machinery sales. Blow molding (extrusion and injection types) machines are now at about 505 million, extrusion reaches 440 million, and thermoforming reaches 455 million. There are now over 350 USA machinery builders with about five having over 50% of sales.136 139...
