Production Benefits

How Duo Industrial Enhances Your Thermoforming Process

Duo Industrial combines bottom-plate heating, vacuum pressing, and PLC-controlled automatic cycles to improve productivity, repeatability, and process control for large-format parts.

PLC Control with Automatic Cycles

PLC Control with Automatic Cycles

PLC with a 7-inch touchscreen for programming automatic cycles based on time and/or temperature, ensuring repeatability in production while keeping manual mode available for specific adjustments.

Temperature Monitoring on the Operating Table

Temperature Monitoring on the Operating Table

PT100 sensor integrated into the worktop to measure the process temperature and enable automatic cycles controlled by time or temperature with greater precision and repeatability.

High-Capacity Vacuum System

High-Capacity Vacuum System

Busch Mink vacuum pump with a capacity of 100 m³/h and automatic control via a digital pressure switch, designed for rapid air evacuation and stable pressure during demanding production cycles.

Hydraulic vertical opening

Hydraulic vertical opening

Hydraulic system for raising and lowering the membrane frame, designed to open the press vertically, provide full access to the work area, and streamline membrane replacement.

Bottom heating with removable tray

Bottom heating with removable tray

Bottom oven with an anodized aluminum plate rated up to 180 °C, a tray on rollers, and a one-touch automatic closure to facilitate loading, improve ergonomics, and streamline the forming process.

Adjustable cooling fans

Adjustable cooling fans

A system of adjustable turbines to accelerate the cooling of the workpiece after heating, improve cycle control, and reduce wait times before handling.

Built-in sublimation option

Built-in sublimation option

Optional configuration for sublimation processes, equipped with an integrated membrane frame and a pneumatic system for opening and closing the oven drawer to facilitate automatic, controlled cycles.

Perimeter Safety Bar

Perimeter Safety Bar

Perimeter safety bar activated by manual contact, designed to stop or prevent the machine from closing when it detects an operator entering the work area.
