PLASTIC BENDING
ACRIFAB was the first company in Australia to use the Shannon Automatic Bending Machine for efficient mass production.
This is a rapidly convertible automatic machine for the production of bent items for the plastic sheet processing industry. It is based on the Nichrome Hot-wire principal; indeed the machine has 4 upper and 4 lower bending lines to enable 4 bends to be done simultaneously. The Nichrome Hot-wire bending line is also environmentally friendly and uses no water for cooling and is far more efficient than the traditional radiant elements.
It can heat all thermoplastic sheets like
 |
Acrylic(PMMA) |
|
Polypropylene |
|
HDPE |
|
PVC |
|
PS |
|
PETG |
The machine is also equipped with an automatic feed system, existing of feed belts and a speed controller for automatic transport of the plastic sheet through the machine. These are then transferred to an automatic feed controlled cooling jig for maximum efficiency.
