■ At the cutting edge
GN Thermoforming Equipment has set the world standard for the plastics
industry by developing a complete line of robust and dependable thermoforming machines. All GN technology incorporates an in-mould cutting system for
consistent and accurate trim. These machines are easy to use
and ideally suited to produce high quality thermoformed plastic products from
a variety of roll-fed thermoformable materials.
Continuous research and development are the cornerstones of GN’s advanced
technology. Our team of experienced engineers focuses on equipment design
and continuous improvement based on customer feedback and industry trends.
■ GN C/CX Series Thermoformers
GN C/CX Series Thermoformers are environmentally friendly, energy efficient and easy
to use thermoformers that have been supplying the world with quality packaging for many years.
The C/CX Series Thermoformers are very compact, offer exceptionally fast tool changes,
and are noted for ease of operation and maintenance.
Features and benefits:
In-mould cutting ensuring consistent and accurate trim
Oversized roller bearings
High speed forming system
Multi-zone contact heating system
Electric preheater
Microprocessor-based control systems (PLC)
Photo scanning available for preprinted sheet
Static eliminator

GN ensures the productivity of its thermoforming machines with one of the
industry’s most comprehensive customer service programs. Our worldwide
network of agents and qualified GN technicians are available to offer a reliable
after sales service.

T H E
Heating - Plastic material is unwound from a roll and fed
into the forming area. Here it is trapped in place by a double
toggle mechanism which closes the forming press. Compressed
air is injected through the mould ensuring complete contact
of the plastic material with the heating platen. Exact, uniform
and rapid heating is achieved by the unique heating platen
assembly.
Forming - As the thermoplastic material reaches the optimum
forming temperature, air is exhausted from the mould. Forming
air pressure is then applied through thousands of tiny holes in
the heating platen assembly. This forming pressure forces the
plastic into every detail of the mould cavity.
■
■
■
3
Unique benefits To GN CX series:
Increased cutting capacity for APET
Servo sheet transport
4
Cutting - As the forming air is vented, a second toggle movement forces the knife edge of the cutting die through the plastic
sheet.
Ejecting - The press then opens and the formed parts are
ejected with pressurized air.

■ GN Stacking Units
GN Stacking Units can easily be attached to any thermoformer to create a completely automated and efficient high-speed thermoforming production system designed
to improve the performance of the GN thermoformer. GN Stacking units accurately count, stack and deliver the formed parts onto the receiving table.
■ GN Up Stacking Unit
The GN Up Stacking unit is ideally suited
to stack and count square or rectangular parts
and deliver them to a receiving platform.
Stacking Rate:
Maximum 30 cycles/minute
Maximum 1800 cycles/hour
■ GN Robotic Stacking Unit
The GN Robotic Stacking unit is a complete product handling system designed
to improve the performance of the GN thermoformer. Vacuum cups attach themselves
to the plastic product prior to stripping them from the web and placing them
in pre-counted stacks to be delivered to the receiving station.
Stacking Rate:
Maximum 25 cycles/minute
Maximum 1500 cycles/hour
5
Transporting - The formed parts, still connected to the material web, are transported to the stripping and stacking stations.
Design features:
Ensures consistent part separation from web
Simple, inexpensive tool specific change parts
Minimal set-up
User friendly operation
Compatible with CX, D and DX models
