What vacuum forming equipment do we have in the workshop?

We have 2 vacuum forming machines in our plastics room.

• CR Clarke 1820 vacuum former uses sheets 508mm x 458mm
• CR Clarke 725FLB vacuum former uses sheets 458mm x 254mm

Vacuum forming is ideal for making plastics packaging and reusable moulds.

The process involves heating a plastic sheet until soft and then draping it over a mould. The mould can be a pre-existing object or something that has been made. A vacuum is applied pulling the sheet into the mould. The sheet cools down quickly and can then be removed from the mould.
