The 320 Dome Blowing Unit consists of a rigid base with a heat-proof seal plate that has perforations to allow air to be injected. A sheet of thermoplastic material, normally cast acrylic, is heated in an oven to its softening temperature. The material is transferred to the Dome Blowing Unit and is clamped into position.
Air is blown under the sheet using the control valve on the front panel, inflating the dome. An adjustable height gauge assists the user to achieve consistent dome heights. Once cooled, the dome is unclamped and is immediately ready to use.
The 320 requires an external air supply, this can come from a compressed air supply or the Pressure Outlet of one of our Vacuum Forming Machines.
The 320 is supplied with rings to make domes of 300, 225 and 150mm in diameter.
It uses a 125 watt motor and router bit combination mounted in a unit measuring 355 x 380 x 380mm. The combined fence and guard protects the user from the cutter and enables fine detail to be trimmed safely. It will trim right up to an edge or leave a flange as desired.
Single phase industrial motor. Swarf collection duct. Angled work support table.
Foot switch operated for safety.
Supplied with 3mm dia. slot drill.
The 280 has a fine heating wire capable of cutting expanded polystyrene materials up to 250mm in thickness. Variable power to the wire is supplied from the low voltage transformer housed in the base of the machine.
Freehand shapes can be cut with ease, while the machine table also has grooves to accept the accessories supplied with each machine:
• Parallel Guide
• Protractor Guide for non-parallel cuts
• Circle Cutter
Fluidised baths consist of a tank to hold thermoplastic powder, a plenum box and a porous membrane. When low pressure high volume air is blown through the powder via the plenum box it causes the powder to lift and disperse thus behaving like a liquid and permits immersion of a preheated metal component.
• Everything needed to carry out dip coating with plastic powders
• Contains: Model 300 and 150 fluidised bath, Model 120 blower unit and stand
• 670 x 700 x 770mm

This machine features a temperature controlled heating barrel, rack and pinion injection ram, over centre mould closing, automatic moulding ejection and is supplied with a wheel mould (flat upper & shaped lower mould) and 2kgs of red polystyrene granules.
To operate the machine, plastic granules are loaded into the heating barrel. After a short pre-heat time, the plastic is ready to inject. The mould is closed and the injection ram lowered. This action automatically opens a valve in the injection nozzle and the plastic is injected.
Once the mould is full the ram is retracted. The heating barrel rises on its return springs, closing the valve. After cooling the mould is opened and the moulding is ejected by pins in the mould cavity.
Requires permanent fixing or bolting down. Safe and easy to use.
The 180 combines a heated wire on a tensioned bow, ideal for cutting expanded polystyrene models, with a horizontal wire or strip heating of rigid plastic materials. This compact unit is ideal for smaller workshops.
