2001 Illig VHW 60/2

The Illig VHW 60/2 is a reliable automatic roll-fed thermoforming machine designed for efficient processing of plastic sheets and films in industrial packaging production. Built by Illig, a globally recognized German manufacturer of thermoforming systems, this machine is widely used for producing plastic packaging components with high precision and repeatability.

The machine processes plastic material from a continuous roll, automatically feeding, heating, and preparing the material for forming operations. This automated workflow ensures stable production, reduced manual handling, and consistent product quality, making it suitable for both medium and high-volume manufacturing environments.

The VHW 60/2 is commonly used in thermoforming production lines for applications such as food trays, blister packaging, disposable containers, technical plastic components, and consumer packaging products. Its robust construction and compact footprint allow it to integrate easily into existing thermoforming systems.

With precise heating control and stable material transport, the machine ensures uniform heating of plastic films before forming, which is essential for achieving consistent wall thickness and high-quality molded products. Roll-fed thermoforming systems like this significantly improve production efficiency and reduce material waste compared to manual or semi-automatic processes.
