The Machinecraft PF1-XL-6022 is a large-format sheet-fed vacuum forming machine with a documented forming area of 6000 x 2200 mm. A customer installation is used to produce HDPE flood trays for horticultural growing systems. Its closed chamber provides controlled pre-blow, and sheet-sag sensors support heating control over the large sheet area. Top and bottom infrared ceramic ovens use individual heating zones. A servo-driven forming table provides programmable movement, while a motorised aperture supports changes in tray size. This is a made-to-order machine for production requirements agreed with the manufacturer. The pictured customer installation demonstrates the model; it is not an offer to sell that installed machine.

The Machinecraft PF1-XL-3535 is a sheet-fed vacuum forming machine developed for deep-drawn HDPE pickup-truck bed liners. Its forming area measures 3500 x 3500 mm. The documented custom machine uses a closed chamber and controlled pre-blow to stretch the heated sheet before it contacts the tool. Top and bottom infrared heating banks provide zoned temperature control, with a retracting bottom heater and sensors that monitor sheet sag. A servo-driven forming table supports programmable forming movements. The machine is built around the required part, tool and material. Final forming-depth capability and equipment options are agreed for the individual build. Price is available on request.

MAAC Model 84R3P is a sheet-fed pressure thermoforming machine with an 8 x 4 ft nominal format (2438.4 x 1219.2 mm) and a three-station rotary layout. It processes cut thermoplastic sheets, with material loading and unloading at the load station. The MAAC R3P rotary pressure-forming platform uses motor-driven platens and an air-cell locking system for pressure forming. The platens extend and lock together before the air cells beneath the floating lower plate are inflated. Multiple control system options are available for this machine family. This listing is for a new machine manufactured to order; final tooling, controls and process options are agreed with MAAC for the application.

The PET Technologies APF-Max 8 is an automatic reheat stretch blow molding machine for PET bottles. The manufacturer specifies output of up to 14,000 bottles per hour, with actual production depending on the bottle and preform configuration. The standard application range is 0.2 to 2 litres; a configuration for 3-litre bottles is offered as an option. The platform combines an all-electric configuration, near-infrared preform heating, B&R PLC control and quick-change blow molds. A hot-fill option is available and must be specified for the intended bottle and filling process. Applications include water, carbonated drinks, dairy products, edible oil and household products. This listing covers new equipment supplied to order. Bottle tooling, preform compatibility, utilities and final output should be confirmed with PET Technologies for the selected project. Price is available on request.
