Demoulding device for thermo-formed items - lifts mouldings first on to locking features on holes in horizontal plate which then slides sideways for mouldings to be pressed off

摘要

A device for demoulding hot-formed thermoplastics from the combined thermoforming/stamping tools of a thermoforming machine has a flat plate which can be moved in between the open mould tools and has means of gripping the mouldings on the daylight side; these means provide a positive grip on the mouldings made. ADVANTAGE - The device retains the advantages of using a flat plate but at the same time it also securely grips mouldings which have holes in the base or have sides projecting from the flat plane. The system uses no air jets or suction and no vacuum source is needed.
