The revolutionary Formax F-400 mid-sized forming machine possesses many features that should interest processors that manufacture a wide range of value-added products. “For example, it combines the latest technology with a full 15 3/4" (400mm) of usable-product width to increase productivity for a higher output” says Tom Wolcott, Director of Research & Development and Electrical Engineering for Provisur Technologies, parent company of Formax.
In addition to accommodating product versatility, the F-400 features a precise, high-speed, mold-plate drive. Independent of the hydraulic forming systems, the mold plate drive’s 7.5 HP (5.5 KW) motor powers the F-400 to variable speeds of 15 to 70 strokes per minute. Mold plates from 1/8" x (3mm) thru 1" (25mm) thickness can be used.
