Pyradia designs and manufactures infrared thermoforming equipment. Thermoforming is a process in which materials are heated and then pressed or vacuum-formed into the desired shape. Infrared thermoforming is used for rigid and nonporous materials, such as polymers and rubbers. Air can not pass through these materials and therefore need to be surface heated. Infrared is ideal for surface heat-treating as it offers instant heat.
Multiple Tier-1 automotive manufacturers are producing high quality and precisely defined interior components such as carpets, dashboards, headliners and other components, using Pyradia thermoforming ovens. We fabricate top-rated machinery, such as thermoforming ovens, pick-and-place machinery, unwinds cut-to-length and tenter frames. Whether you are looking for a carrousel or in-line layout, with material rolls to be automatically cut to desired length or automatic and continuous blank pile unstacking, we can provide a complete infrared thermoforming solution or an individual machine to be integrated into an existing production line.
Infrared ovens can reach high surface temperatures, providing power density required to handle rapid production rates. They offer precise temperature control and uniformity, as well as high efficiency.
Certain thermoforming processes involve marrying two material blanks, each requiring different heating methods. We can manufacture a thermoforming oven that simultaneously treats one layer with infrared and the other with through-air heating.
With over 50 years of experience, extensive process knowledge, drying modeling software and pilot drying equipment, Pyradia engineers will analyse your specifications and recommend the ideal dryer configuration for optimal process efficiency.
