Product Overview
The Haofeng SE-1211 high-speed continuous thermoforming machine (SE-1211 high-speed continuous thermoforming unit) is the flagship, fully automatic, high-speed thermoforming production line launched by Haofeng (Tianjin) Intelligent Manufacturing. It features an extra-large mold layout, ultra-high production speed, and a modular, stable interconnected production system, specifically designed for large-scale factories with capacities in the tens of millions and producing standardized thin-walled plastic packaging products.
The equipment adopts an industry-leading modular design featuring a “forming mainframe + independent high-speed interlinked punching and cutting + long-distance cooling + fully automated downstream stacking,” which differs from traditional integrated thermoforming machines. By utilizing an extra-long cooling zone of 3–5 meters, it effectively addresses issues of thermal deformation and sticking in high-speed, large-format products. Backed by imported core components, military-grade machining processes, and a fully servo-driven intelligent control system, it achieves a production speed of 40–55 molds per minute, with a daily output exceeding one million units. A single unit can match the productivity of 2–3 conventional thermoformers, making it the top-of-the-line, workhorse equipment for large food packaging and biodegradable packaging companies seeking extreme production capacity, cost reduction, efficiency gains, and automation upgrades.
Overall Machine Structure and Modular Interconnected Workflow
The SE-1211 employs a three-section separated and interconnected design—forming station → long-distance cooling line → high-speed punching and cutting station—making it currently the largest in terms of mold layout, highest in production capacity, and most highly automated thermoforming model within the Haofeng system, enabling seamless end-to-end operation and continuous automated production.
