AIHOFEN Launches Advanced PositiveNegative Pressure Thermoforming Machines for Global Packaging Manufacturers

AIHOFEN (Haofeng Tianjin Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) expands its global footprint with a new series of high-precision thermoforming machines designed for complex packaging needs.

Tianjin, China – 2026 – AIHOFEN (Haofeng Tianjin Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd.), a leading Chinese manufacturer of thermoforming and cup-making machinery since 2007, has officially launched its latest generation of positive-negative pressure thermoforming machines. Engineered to address critical industry challenges such as inconsistent wall thickness, deep-cavity deformation, and inaccurate punching in food and medical packaging, the new SE-series machines feature multi-station workflows, servo-driven precision control, and composite forming technology. With models ranging from 3 to 5 workstations—including dedicated pre-stretching and punching stations—these systems deliver superior product consistency, energy efficiency, and rapid changeover capabilities. The launch reinforces AIHOFEN’s commitment to supporting global packaging producers seeking reliable, high-output automation solutions compliant with international standards.

Core Technological Innovations and Product Highlights

Precision Composite Forming: AIHOFEN’s machines utilize negative-pressure pre-forming followed by positive-pressure reinforcement (0.5–0.8MPa), ensuring uniform wall thickness and full detail replication even in deep or complex geometries—solving common issues like tearing or thinning in traditional vacuum-only systems.

Modular Multi-Station Architecture: The 4- and 5-station models feature fully independent workstations for heating, pre-stretching (5-station only), forming, punching, and stacking. This separation eliminates process interference, enabling high-speed production of perforated containers like blueberry trays and vented coffee lids with ±0.05mm punching accuracy.

Intelligent Control System: Equipped with CNC-based control (superior to standard PLC), the machines support 500+ stored recipes, 8-axis manual mold alignment, remote diagnostics, and automatic lubrication—reducing downtime and simplifying operation for multi-product facilities.

Global Compliance and Certifications

All new thermoforming machines comply with EU Machinery Directive and EMC standards, backed by official CE certification (MD+EMC). They also adhere to GJB9001C military-grade quality protocols, ensuring reliability for continuous 24/7 operation in regulated industries across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific.

Availability and Customization

The SE-series thermoforming machines are now available for global order via AIHOFEN’s official website (https://www.haofengtj.com/) and authorized distributors. Mass production and shipping commenced in May 2026. Customization options include specialized tooling, material-specific firmware tuning, and integration with existing packaging lines.

Executive Statement

"This launch marks a strategic step in our mission to deliver globally trusted thermoforming solutions," said Wu Ruxiong, General Manager of AIHOFEN. "Having led the drafting of China’s automated thermoforming machine industry standard in 2025, we’re now bringing that expertise to international clients who demand precision, durability, and compliance."
