Standard and Adjustable Clampframes for Thermoformers



 

STANDARD CLAMFRAMES:
OVER 92,000 FT. IN USE TODAY

The major benefit of MAAC's Edge Clamp Frame system is the need for less material to be clamped. MAAC's system requires that only 3/8" of material be held, compared to the 1" to 1-1/2" on competitive systems. This translates into significant material savings for the user, average of 4% to 12%, but as high as 20% in some cases. This sheet size reduction also results in cost savings associated with material trimming, regrind, transporting and storage, not to mention labor, energy and maintenance required to carry out those functions. MAAC's Clamp Frame is constructed of aluminum rather than steel, which helps the system absorb and dissipate heat better and faster. As another benefit, this durable unit requires no maintenance.The heavy-duty aluminum clamps offer maximum holding power, keeping the plastic sheet in place and ensuring that precise forming tolerances are met while maintaining repeatability.

Standard and Adjustable Clampframes

 

ADJUSTABLE CLAMFRAMES... NEW!!!

DO YOUR CLAMPFRAME CHANGEOVERS TAKE LESS THAN 6 MINUTES (PER STATION)?
Take a look at these advantages:

 

  • Standard MAAC clamp frame components... cylinders and extrusion can be interchanged with our standard clampframes.
  • The sheet is gripped on a single plane; there is no offset in the corners.
  • Position of the clamp frames can be noted, stored and easily returned to the exact position the next time the product is run.
  • NO TOOLS are required for any part of the adjustment.
  • Large airflow passages insure quick, even operation of the cylinders.

 

 
  • Requires only 3/8" of material be clamped... meaning less waste and trim.
  • No "old-style" steel pin bars. MAAC uses all aluminum which gives better heat transfer.
  • Lightweight and cost effective when compared to competing systems.
  • No need to store and replace all of those different sized clampframes for every sheet width.
