Advanced Inline Thermoforming Solutions by OMV Technologies
In the world of modern packaging production, inline thermoforming has become a game-changer, offering efficiency, precision, and cost-effective manufacturing solutions. At OMV Technologies, we specialize in high-performance inline thermoforming systems that integrate seamlessly with inline extrusion, ensuring a streamlined process from raw material to finished product. Our expertise in Punch-and-Die Thermoforming Technology and Online Rim Rolling Technology allows manufacturers to achieve superior product quality while optimizing production speed.
Technologies
Inline thermoforming is a highly efficient manufacturing process that combines inline extrusion with thermoforming in a continuous production line. This eliminates the need for separate material handling steps, reducing waste and improving efficiency. At OMV Technologies, our advanced inline thermoforming systems allow manufacturers to produce high-quality packaging with precise control over material thickness, shape, and durability.
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.
OMV offers a comprehensive Product Development Center where our customers can develop and trial new designs and/or new resins. For a small investment, parts can be thermoformed and tested in OMV’s Tech Center before committing CapEx to buy the manufacturing equipment. The complete service includes the selection and testing of the chosen resin/s and forming of the production ready parts using a single cavity tool that resembles the final production tooling and inline or offline extruding process. The OMV team can be relied upon for your project from concept to final SAT at your production facility.
There are several categories of technologies utilized in OMV Thermoforming Machine Equipment, each designed to optimize performance, efficiency, and sustainability in manufacturing processes. These technologies include innovative solutions such as:
