A single-station thermoforming apparatus for thermoforming sheets (17) of plastic material. The apparatus comprises a mould member (13) movably supported into a chest (12) connectable to a source of vacuum, a window frame (16) to support a plastic sheet to be processed, above the mould member (13) into a working area (11A, 11B) of the apparatus, and at least one heater (25, 26; 35A, 35B) to heat the sheet (17) of plastic material; the heater (25, 26; 35A, 35B) is movably supported between an operative position in which the heater (25, 26; 35A, 35B) extends along a lateral face of the plastic sheet (17), and a inoperative position by performing a composite rotational and translational movement to tilt the heater (25, 26; 35A, 35B) onto at least one side of the working area (11A, 11B) of the thermoforming apparatus. <IMAGE> |
