Solution

Weight control in thermoforming

weight is rarely checked; trims are a significant stream; their reuse is not tracked.

← Back to solutions

Sector

manufacturers of trays, inserts and other thermoformed products; exact C22 code confirmed.

INDICATIVE NACE CODE

Process

sheet extrusion → heating → forming → trimming → controlled trim return.

Problem

weight is rarely checked; trims are a significant stream; their reuse is not tracked.

What the solution includes

checkweighers; cameras; thermoforming machine data; granulator and doser; weight tolerances; material balance.

What changes

less material per part and a controlled internal trim loop.
