Exploring the Outstanding Characteristics of Heavy Gauge Thermoforming | Wuxi Dexin Plastic Technology
Wuxi Dexin Plastic Technology Co., Ltd. is a technology innovation enterprise founded on the core concept of integrating diversified resources in plastic processing, specializing in providing advanced thermoforming processing solutions. Among various plastic molding processes, heavy gauge thermoforming (also known as thick-gauge thermoforming) stands out due to its unique advantages. Today, Dexin introduces the key characteristics of heavy gauge thermoforming:
1. Heavy Gauge Thermoforming Production Offers Significant Project Economic Rationality
In the packaging manufacturing and related processing industries, unless paperboard is used as the substrate, heavy gauge thermoforming technology is virtually unmatched by other processing methods. Its core advantage lies in its excellent project economic rationality. Through thermoforming processing, composite plastic sheets, foamed plastic sheets, and even printed plastic sheet products can be efficiently formed. Its flexibility is demonstrated by the fact that product design changes often only require mold adjustments to adapt existing heavy gauge thermoforming production equipment, eliminating the need for large-scale production line replacements. This significantly reduces modification costs and time, enhancing overall thermoforming processing efficiency.
2. Heavy Gauge Thermoforming Process Provides a Wide Range of Material Options
Heavy gauge thermoforming processing has an extremely broad application scope and strong adaptability. It can produce very small items, such as pill packaging or precision components for watch batteries, as well as handle the manufacturing of very large products, such as garden pools up to 3 to 5 meters long. In terms of material thickness, thermoforming processing can handle sheet thicknesses ranging from ultra-thin 0.05mm to substantial 15mm. When it comes to foamed plastics, heavy gauge thermoforming processing capabilities can even handle sheets up to 60mm thick, showcasing the immense versatility and flexibility of the heavy gauge thermoforming process in material selection.
3. Efficient Scrap Recycling Embodies Sustainable Development Principles
During the heavy gauge thermoforming production processing, cutting plastic sheets is a necessary step, which inevitably generates scrap (trimmings). Wuxi Dexin Plastic Technology actively practices environmental principles: This scrap generated by thermoforming processing is not waste. It can be effectively crushed and recycled. After processing, the recycled material can be blended with virgin new material to recreate high-quality plastic sheets, which are then fed back into the heavy gauge thermoforming production cycle. In recent years, within the thermoforming processing industry, especially in heavy gauge thermoforming production, the recycling of scrap has become increasingly important. This not only reduces raw material costs but also significantly minimizes resource waste, aligning with the global trend of green manufacturing.
