Introduction Precision engineering is the backbone of the plastic packaging industry. To produce a perfect Fruit box making machine output or a high-quality Cup Making Machine product, every millimeter of the forming process must be controlled. Rayshape Machinery has mastered this art through its specialized Multi-station Thermoforming Machine series. These machines represent a significant leap forward in manufacturing technology, specifically engineered to provide stable, reliable, and high-speed output for global markets.
The Importance of Plate Sizes and Cavity Optimization At Rayshape, we understand that "one size does not fit all." The capacity of a Plastic Thermoforming Machine is directly correlated to the size of its forming plate. We offer three standard versatile sizes to meet different production scales:
-
650 * 450 mm: Ideal for smaller, high-precision components or startup operations.
-
730 * 610 mm: The "sweet spot" for many mid-sized containers and egg trays.
-
730 * 800 mm: A heavy-duty configuration designed for maximum cavity count and massive output.
A larger plate allows for more mold cavities. For instance, in Cup Making Machine applications, a larger plate might allow for a 40-cavity mold versus a 20-cavity mold on a smaller machine, effectively doubling production without doubling the energy or labor costs. This scalability is why Rayshape is a preferred partner for industrial-scale packaging providers.
The Four-Station Advantage While many manufacturers offer basic three-station machines (forming, cutting, stacking), Rayshape’s four-station Fully Automatic Thermoforming Machine includes a dedicated punching station. This is critical for products that require internal holes or specialized venting, such as strawberry containers or specialized electronics packaging. By integrating this into the main machine cycle, we ensure perfect alignment between the formed shape and the punched hole, reducing scrap rates and enhancing the aesthetic quality of the final product.
Material Flexibility and Processing Dynamics Modern manufacturers must be agile. The same machine used as a Bowl Making Machine today might need to produce Blister Machine packs tomorrow. Rayshape machines are compatible with A-PET, R-PET, C-PET, BOPS, HIPS, PP, PLA, and PVC.
The physics of thermoforming dictates that actual operating speed is influenced by product depth and sheet thickness. Deeper products require more time for the material to stretch and cool. Rayshape’s control system accounts for these variables, providing the operator with real-time feedback to optimize the heating and cooling cycles. Whether processing a 10mm shallow lid or a 120mm deep fruit box, our machines maintain the structural integrity and wall-thickness consistency required by top-tier retailers.
R&D and After-Sales: The Rayshape Commitment As a subsidiary of Elemotion Holdings, Rayshape Machinery benefits from a massive R&D infrastructure. We don’t just sell a machine; we provide a complete production solution. This includes a Plastic Sheet Extruder to create the raw material and the thermoforming unit to shape it. Our after-sales service team ensures that every machine installed worldwide operates at peak efficiency, carrying forward the spirit of diligence and continuous improvement that defines our Wenzhou-based headquarters.
