SPEEDFORMER KMD

Thermoforming at its best: Maximum Output and Efficiency

Steel rule cutting machines of the SPEEDFORMER KMD series are effective in mass production and economical even for small quantities. They can be deployed flexibly, whether in the food or non-food sector, and are versatile for materials such as (r) PET, C-PET, PP, PS, PLA, PE. The modular design offers maximum flexibility.

The high degree of automation and the sophisticated tool change are as much part of the mature concept as the steel rule cutting and the integrated stacking station.

Robust and precise, whether as a standard system or expanded with options. Simple and safe operation.
