China’s AIHOFEN (Haofeng Tianjin Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) has unveiled its latest series of multi-station positive-negative pressure thermoforming machines, targeting high-precision packaging production across food, medical, and electronics sectors worldwide.

Tianjin, China – May 2026

Global leader in intelligent thermoforming equipment, AIHOFEN (Haofeng Tianjin Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd.), today announced the launch of its upgraded SE-series positive-negative pressure thermoforming machines. Designed to address the industry’s persistent challenges with deep-draw, complex-geometry, and high-clarity packaging, the new lineup features hybrid forming technology, multi-station automation, and CNC-based precision control. These machines support PP, PET, PS, and PLA sheets (0.2–1.5mm) and deliver superior wall-thickness uniformity, detail fidelity, and production stability. With this release, AIHOFEN aims to strengthen its position in the global mid-to-high-end thermoforming market and meet rising demand for scalable, energy-efficient packaging solutions. The SE850710A and SE850710A 4-station models are now open for global orders and will commence mass shipment from June 2026.

Core Technological Breakthroughs and Product Highlights

Hybrid Positive-Negative Pressure Forming

The machines first apply vacuum to pre-form the sheet against the mold, then use regulated positive air pressure (0.5–0.8MPa) to fully shape deep cavities, sharp corners, and reinforced ribs—eliminating thinning, bubbling, or deformation common in pure vacuum systems.

Precision Multi-Station Workflow

Available in 3-, 4-, and 5-station configurations, the systems separate heating, forming, punching (on 4/5-station models), and stacking into independent, synchronized phases. This enables continuous operation at 28–40 cycles/minute with minimal downtime during mold changes.

CNC-Controlled Servo System

Equipped with an 8-axis CNC numerical control system, the machines offer ±0.1mm positioning accuracy, 500+ parameter presets, and one-touch mold calibration. All critical motion components—sheet feeding, mold table, and cutting—are servo-driven, ensuring long-term reliability and low maintenance.

Integrated Punching and Stacking (4/5-Station Models)

The dedicated punching station achieves ±0.05mm accuracy for round, rectangular, side, or custom holes—ideal for breathable food containers, cup lids, and medical trays. Finished products are automatically stacked, counted, and output via servo robotic arms.

Global Compliance and Certification

To meet international market requirements, the SE-series complies with CE, RoHS, and ISO 9001 standards. Key structural components undergo five-face machining and CMM inspection per GJB9001C military-grade quality protocols, ensuring durability and performance consistency across EU, North American, and APAC markets.

Availability and Customization

The SE850710A 3-station (USD 9,500) and 4-station (USD 11,800) models are available for global order via https://www.haofengtj.com/ and authorized distributors. Customization options include material-specific heating profiles, specialized stacking patterns, and integration with downstream packaging lines.

Executive Statement

"This launch marks a strategic leap in our mission to deliver industrial-grade thermoforming solutions that combine precision, efficiency, and adaptability," said Li Wei, Chief Technology Officer at AIHOFEN. "By solving long-standing quality issues in deep-cavity forming, we empower global converters to produce premium packaging at scale without compromising yield or sustainability."

Market Context and Strategic Alignment

According to Grand View Research, the global thermoforming packaging market is projected to reach USD 68.2 billion by 2027, driven by demand for sustainable, high-clarity, and functional packaging in food and healthcare. AIHOFEN’s focus on servo-driven, energy-efficient, and multi-station systems aligns directly with this shift toward smart, flexible production.

Future Roadmap

AIHOFEN will continue enhancing its global service network in 2026, with technical support hubs planned in Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe to provide localized installation, training, and maintenance for international clients.
