Thermoforming tools for polymer packaging
In the packaging industry, creating high-quality and precise plastic packaging components like trays and lids can be challenging. Efficient cutting and forming processes are critical to meet design requirements and enhance productivity.
Customizable solutions for precise cutting and forming
KIEFEL GmbH offers a range of thermoforming tools designed to meet the precision and flexibility required by modern packaging manufacturers. With over 40 years of expertise in thermoforming technology, Kiefel provides tools tailored for steel rule cutting applications, including separate forming and cutting as well as combined forming and cutting tools. These tools are compatible with all standard steel rule cutting machines and various plastic materials like PP, PS, PE, (R)PET, and PLA. The Kiefel Cut-in-Place (BFS) system stands out by enabling the production of high-quality plastic packaging at an optimal price-performance ratio, making it ideal for manufacturing trays and lids. The combined forming and cutting tools reduce the need for costly profile grinding and separate cutting stations, lowering tool costs and cutting down on equipping times. Additionally, the thermoforming configurator helps calculate tool layouts and material usage for over 40 thermoforming machines, assisting manufacturers in optimizing their production processes.
