The VihoX 1220×710 Fully Automatic Servo Vacuum Forming Machine is our flagship heavy-duty thermoforming installation engineered for high-throughput mass conversion of food containers, medical trays, and industrial blister packaging. Boasting an expansive maximum forming area of 1220×710 mm and an extra-deep forming depth of 180 mm, this system processes roll-fed materials up to 750 mm wide across calipers from 0.10 mm to 2.0 mm.
Driven by high-precision AC servo motors across sheet indexing and platen strokes, the machine integrates automatic roll feeding, 35 kW zoned ceramic infrared heating, negative-pressure vacuum forming, whole-sheet inline cutting, and automatic product discharge. Supporting sustainable polymers including PLA and corn-starch blends alongside conventional PP, PE, APET, PVC, PETG, PS, ABS, and EPS, the VihoX 1220×710 operates at high speeds of 6 to 20 cycles/min (typical running power 22–37 kW), establishing a new benchmark in large-format thermoforming productivity.

The standout mechanical capability of the VihoX 1220×710 is its massive forming area. Operating on a 1220×710 mm platen footprint, packaging converters can layout 20 to 32 cavities for standard meal trays or deli clamshells per stroke. With 180 mm of vertical forming depth and servo-driven upper plug assist options, wall thickness distribution remains remarkably uniform even in steep 90-degree container sidewalls and deep industrial tool tray cavities.
Traditional pneumatic-only forming lines suffer from air pressure drops, slow cycling, and high compressed air energy consumption. The VihoX 1220×710 replaces high-maintenance pneumatic plungers with closed-loop AC servo drives for sheet chain advancement and mold clamping strokes. Servo acceleration curves are digitally contoured to eliminate web jerking, allowing delicate pre-heated PLA and bio-polymers to index without stretching out of register. While total connected electrical power is 52 kW, typical operational consumption averages only 22–37 kW thanks to dynamic regenerative braking circuits.
The VihoX 1220×710 represents a true turnkey workhorse for modern plastic packaging factories:
Servo drives provide micrometer position repeatability and smooth acceleration ramps, eliminating mechanical shock, minimizing sheet thinning, and tightening perimeter cut tolerances.
Yes. The 35 kW ceramic heating matrix features sensitive multi-zone temperature regulation, providing the precise, gentle heating curves required by temperature-sensitive bio-based polymers.
Operating at 15 cycles/min with an 18-cavity container mold, the line outputs approx. 16,200 finished containers per hour, yielding over 120,000 units per standard 8-hour shift.
We recommend a heavy-duty vacuum system with a displacement rate of 100 to 200 m³/h coupled with a large surge vacuum tank to evacuate the 1220×710 mm cavity within fractions of a second.
After forming, the sheet moves into the servo cutting station where all cavities are punched cleanly in a single stroke, and finished containers drop automatically onto the collection conveyor.
A standard 80–100 kVA factory power drop easily accommodates the 52 kW total installed rating, with typical operating consumption stabilizing around 22–37 kW.
The machine frame measures approx. 7200×1780×2500 mm. An overall operating clearance of 10×4 meters is recommended for raw material roll staging and finished pallet stacking.
