THERMOFORMING

Thermoforming
Adalah : suatu proses yg digunakan utk membentuk thermoplastic sheet dimana sheet dipanaskan & kemudian ditekan dalam suatu mold

Prinsip Dasar
Memberikan pemanasan sebuah thermoplastic sheet sampai lunak dan kemudian menekan material panas & lunak tersebut pada kontur mold secara mekanik, tekanan udara atau tekanan vakum. Diberikan penahanan pd mold & didinginkan, shg plastik akan membentuk sesuai dg kontur mold

Perbedaan utama proses thermoforming dg proses lain : - material thermoplastik dipanaskan tidak sampai mencair, hanya sampai kondisi lunak - tekanan yg digunakan utk membentuk rendah

Vacuum Forming
Merupakan proses termoforming yg paling sederhana & umum Proses meliputi pemanasan plastic sheet sampai lunak dan kmd diletakkan diatas mold. Tekanan vakum diberikan untuk menghisap sheet pada mold. Produk didinginkan & dikeluarkan dari mold.

Proses
Clamping The clamp frame ensures the plastic sheet is held firmly in place during the forming process. Heating Radiant heaters are normally used to heat the sheet which has been positioned over the aperture of the vacuum forming machine. For thicker sheet both surfaces may need to be heated and more sophisticated machines allow this. Heaters move into position both above and below the sheet. Pre-stretch Is used to achieve "even" wall thickness. Air is introduced to blow a small "bubble" and the mould is then raised into the pre-stretched sheet.
