In a process for producing a shell of heat-formable plastic, a plate-like section of the plastic material (40) to be processed is conveyed on a vertical web (21) through at least two heating stages (45) behind each other in the direction of travel (21, 24) downwards to a deep-drawing station (16, 24) and then deep-drawn. To ensure that the heating of the plastic material before deep-drawing can take place technically more simply and more reliably, the invention provides that the plastic material is fed in the form of a continuous web (40) from above the first heating stage (45), with heating during movement, separated from the plastic web (40) vertically downwards at the upper end (46) of the foremost, lowest plate-like section of the plastic web (40) during deep-drawing (by 47) and deep-drawn. |
