Performer is the outstanding result of our continuous machine development. It is an ingenious thermoforming machine including all the functions of a thermopress-centre.
With the adjustable deep drawing frame and the powerful CHS-heating hood your 3D forming and pressing dreams come through! From producing prototypes up to high end products in a batch production – everything is possible!
The Performer comes with a Simatic Touch Panel which bundles all operating processes in one unit. The screen is neatly arranged and self-explaining.
Our established and well-engineered CHS-heating system is installed in the heating hood and the heating drawer. This generates an exceptional heating power combined with the assurance of a perfect heating process. The vertical moving, oil-free and reliable pneumatic cylinders are lifting the pressing results to a new level.
This machine with all its applications will inspire you.
