Desktop vacuum forming machines
The perfect way to start vacuum forming.
Perfectly designed to maximise space and productivity, our Desktop models pack a range of useful features into a small unit. From built-in vacuum pumps and mechanical safety interlock to digital timers and energy-efficient quartz heaters, the Desktop models are more than capable handling basic or complicated vacuum forming projects.
They’re perfect for prototyping, arts & craft projects, pastry and chocolatier moulding, small-product production lines and more.

Floor-Standing vacuum forming machines
A step-up from the desktop models, floor-standing machines come with auto-level and pre-stretch features, allowing for more control over the thermoforming process. With the ease of use of the Desktop series and the functional capacity of the Large Format machines, they are the perfect tool for proofing design concepts, prototyping, and small-scale production.

Large Format vacuum forming machines
Combining larger forming areas with semi-automatic capabilities, this series offers operational versatility for demanding applications. The design offers a ‘hands-on’ approach to vacuum forming, similar to smaller manual machines, giving the operator more control.
A high-resolution touchscreen with Formech Cycle View (FCV) allows easy access to machine settings, enabling real-time adjustments during the forming process. Multi-user PIN access control allows the supervisor to adapt accessibility to match the operator's skill level.

Semi / Fully Automatic vacuum forming machines
Get the most return on your investment with Formech’s automatic range of sheet and reel-fed vacuum forming machines in the HD and TF series.
These machines are designed and built to handle the most demanding applications – but with an impressive, compact footprint that rivals similar machines on the market. Generous standard specifications such as pneumatic heater drive, pneumatic clamps and table, cooling fans, safety light curtain, multi-user pin access control, and an extensive range of options, mark the HD and TF series as cost effective and highly adaptable.
Crucially, due to their popularity, machines in the range are available at relatively short lead times compared to other manufacturers.
HD Series
The HD Series is the most advanced Formech series, operating semi-autonomously using sheet materials. First introduced in 2002, the HD series established a new price-performance ratio for semi-automatic production class machines, and its efficient heat management, ease of use, compact footprint and accessible price are instrumental to its success.
TF Series
Specifically designed for reel feed packaging and decorative film applications, such as chocolate trays, inserts and clam packs, Formech’s TF series operate fully automatically and can adapt to a diverse number of applications.
With Plug Assist installed as standard, and capable of processing reel materials up to 0.07" (1.8mm) and sheet materials up to 0.25" (6mm), TF series machines are highly versatile, and represent a cost effective and compact alternative to high speed in-line machines.
