The procedure uses a shaping wheel (2) with a series of U-shaped recesses (21) corresponding to the shape of corrugations to be made in a plastic edging strip. The strip is blocked relative to the wheel by pneumatic pressure elements (4, 6, 7, 8) and corrugated by a descending thermoforming head (5) heated by induction or circulating hot water. The procedure uses a shaping wheel (2) with a series of U-shaped recesses (21) corresponding to the shape of corrugations to be made in a plastic edging strip. The strip is blocked relative to the wheel by pneumatic pressure elements (4, 6, 7, 8) and corrugated by a descending thermoforming head (5) heated by induction or circulating hot water. The head is moved by an actuating rod (51) and has a tip shaped to correspond to the profile of the shaping wheel recesses. The pressure heads rise and fall in a sequence that enables the strip to be corrugated as it is guided between the shaping wheel and the thermoforming head, and cooled after shaping to give it a permanent corrugated profile. |
