Daventry Thermoforming invests in Ridat technology
Ridat 4848ATF – a heavy-duty automatic reel-fed inline large format thermoforming machine
Ridat, a leading UK manufacturer of thermoforming equipment, has supplied Daventry Thermoforming with a new Ridat 4848ATF – a heavy-duty automatic reel-fed inline large format thermoforming machine – and a Ridat 546RCP Roller Cutting Press (RCP), which was modified for the company’s needs.
These solutions complement the four Ridat 3035ATF thermoforming machines already operating at Daventry Thermoforming’s site.
Tony Lewis, Managing Director of Daventry Thermoforming (UK) Ltd, said: “I had no hesitation in opting for Ridat again … The thermoformer purchased was great value for money and very well built … I would recommend Ridat and I believe they build a good, reliable machine, at the right price, whilst still remaining competitive in today’s marketplace.”
Daventry Thermoforming specialises in PVC and High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) protective coverings for the automotive and packaging industries.
Ridat Director Dipak Sen Gupta added: “It was a pleasure to work with Tony Lewis and his team on integrating the Ridat 484ATF into the Daventry Thermoforming site and to use our engineering expertise to adapt the Ridat 546RCP Roller Cutting Press to their needs. This project is an example of how we can apply our technical knowhow and industry knowledge to take on our customers’ challenges.”
The Ridat 546RCP forms part of a range of RCP machines manufactured by Ridat, which are designed to cut plastic thermoformed sheet, rubber, leather, board, foil and other gasket material, plastic foam, plastic coated or impregnated fabric.
Ridat modified the 546RCP RCP to allow for additional depth height, which included re-configuring the machine’s gearing. In addition, Ridat fitted a push bar emergency stop at Daventry Thermoforming (UK) Ltd’s request.
