Description

The Refrigerator Manufacturing Assembly Line—3-Station Vacuum Forming Equipment is a highly advanced and specialized system designed to optimize the production of refrigerator liners. This equipment utilizes a powerful vacuum suction force generated by high-performance vacuum pumps to draw heated and softened thermoplastic sheet material into precise shapes required for refrigerator liners. The entire assembly line is meticulously engineered to ensure maximum efficiency and consistent product quality. It comprises a comprehensive set of components, including a loading station, pre-heating and heating stations, a conveying station, a forming station, an automatic side cutting unit, a vacuum system, a cooling system, a lubrication system, a water circulation system, a mold heating system, and an integrated electrical control system. This modular design allows customers to select configurations ranging from single to multiple stations based on their budget and production cycle time requirements.
