Automatic Plastic Thermoforming Machine: Makes Trays, Cups, Bins Fast—Easy To Use For Small Factories

An automatic plastic thermoforming machine is a versatile tool for businesses that make plastic products—from food trays and takeout cups to storage bins and toy parts. Its working principle is to heat plastic sheets until they become flexible, and then automatically shape them into strong and uniform items - without the need for constant manual pressing or trimming. The machine setup is simple: Load plastic sheets (common and affordable materials such as PP or PET), select your product type, and press the start button. It produces hundreds of items per hour, keeping the size and shape of each item consistent, and can even clean up excess plastic by itself.

What would take four workers a whole day to complete can now be accomplished by one machine in just 2.5 hours.

Fast Production

It can quickly produce plastic products, capable of manufacturing 350 standard snack trays or 500 small cups per hour.

Uniform Products

This machine adopts precise heating and fixed molds, so each product has the same thickness, the same shape and the same sturdiness.

Easy To Use

The control is very simple: Load the plastic sheet roll, select your product type from the simple panel, and adjust the heating time (we include a guide for common plastics).
