OMV Machinery has 60 years of experience in the punch-and-die (“match metal”) trim-in-place thermoforming technology. Parts are formed with the use of a female cavity which is surrounded by the Punch half of the tooling. The Die half of the tooling is located on the opposite tool half along with the 3rd motion plug assists, coiners and form air pressure. Trim-in-Place technology is widely recognized as the most adapt for high quality parts especially in the case of high-shrinking resins like Polypropylene. The Form and Trim in Place technique applies to drinking cups, coffee capsules, portion cups, lids, trays and more. OMV Machinery offers the full turn-key package; Sheet Extruders, Thermoformers, Tooling and downstream packaging automation.

Online Rim Rolling Technology

OMV specializes in turnkey extrusion in-line thermoforming solutions for all resins in mono or multilayer sheet formats. Closed loop control of the skeletal web and unused parts regrind flake are automatically looped back to the material conditioning & blending process at the extruder. OMV pioneered inline thermoforming because having the sheet extruded directly into the former allows for consistent process control and the ability to achieve the best wall thickness distribution, rim flatness, and precision in other critical points of the parts. At the same time, inline systems provide substantial energy savings and eliminates the need to store roll-stock.
