Heavy Gauge Thermoforming
Blue Ridge Thermoforming operates three heavy gauge rotary forming machines. Our largest part size is roughly 60”x100” however we have been able to push the limits on the machine a little beyond those dimensions.But our machines are capable of running much smaller parts as well, our smallest sheet size that we can run is a 12”x16”.The maximum draw depth of a part that we can run is approximately 24”. Material thickness can range from .03” to .5” thick. Although the equipment is capable of running many types of plastics, we commonly run HDPE, HMWPE, ABS, HIPS, PET/PETG, Polycarbonate, and PVC.

Material Handling
Blue Ridge Thermoforming commonly designs and manufactures custom material handling trays. These types of trays are excellent for parts that are simply hard to package. Trays can be designed to act as a pallet or to nest into a pallet. These types of trays are also used in automation, presenting parts to a robot in a manner that the robot can easily detect the part location.

Equipment Covers and Kiosks
Blue Ridge Thermoforming currently manufactures equipment covers and parts for kiosks. Generally our customers bring a design of a finished product to us and we design the tooling and process to cost efficiently manufacture the parts. Some of the parts we run are made out of virgin plastic with specific color requirements while other parts are manufactured and then sent out to be painted. Parts are cut and trimmed on our 5 axis router to ensure proper fit and function of the component. Contact us to review the possibility of having your parts thermoformed today.
