At Chinaplas, Guangzhou, May 16 to 19, ILLIG will present for the first time the production of thermoformed liquid-tight containers with lid. The containers are manufactured on an automatic pressure forming machine, type IC-RDK 80, with a 12-up container mold out of transparent PP.

ILLIG developed the „take away container“ which can be tightly closed by a lid based on requirements by customers from the Asian market. In Asia hot soups and meals are filled in containers to go by restaurants and mobile snack booths. So far such a cost-effective and safe transport solution does not exist. ILLIG designed and realized all stages of the pack development: From the first idea and material selection through to mold production. This also included own application tests with respect to tightness and stackability (top load).

With IC-RDK series ILLIG developed a forming and punching technology suitable to achieve excellent part quality and reproducibility of packs. The machines feature high availability and easy operation. Heated materials are formed by means of pre-stretcher and compressed air; the part is punched out of the material in the same cycle. Thanks to this method, parts can be manufactured without punching mismatch in the rim area and thus automatic pack processing is improved.
