A device and method for thermoforming of a product from a plastic film includes a mould assembly which is used in such a device. The plastic film is clamped between the mould parts in primary and secondary manner. The forming process can hereby be divided into more or less independent zones. Different forming techniques, positive or negative, can be used in the different zones. This makes it possible to combine the advantages of the two techniques in one forming process.

Device, mould assembly and method for thermoforming of a product from a plastic film

The present application relates to a thermoforming device. According to an embodiment, the thermoforming device includes a gaseous medium damper for damping a relative movement of the lower mold and the upper mold and/or a gaseous medium damper for damping a relative movement of the lower mold and the ejector plate.

Thermoforming device

The present invention relates to a thermoforming device for thermoforming a product () from a plastic foil (), and to a corresponding method. The invention relates particularly to a thermoforming process and device in which a slot () is arranged in a product () to be formed. The invention also relates to a product (), particularly a flowerpot, manufactured using this thermoforming device or method. The thermoforming device is characterized in that the cutting sleeve () and cutting plate () and/or hold-down element () define an auxiliary cutting line through which the plastic foil () is cut in order to arrange a slot () in the product () to be formed. The functions of slot-forming and product-foil separation are hereby performed by substantially the same components.
