TP-30HD Trim Press

Our newest piece of thermoforming equipment, the TP-30HD, has been completed and tested.  This trim press is capable of speeds in excess of 200 cycles per minute and is built to use any type of trim tool, including punch and die tools.  The steel plate frame is of the same basic design as our larger TP-44 trim press, and the servo driven platen rides on four 2" guide pins.  These features ensure consistent alignment between the trim tool halves, and eliminate any chance of flex in the press. 

Take a look at the video below to see some footage of the trim press operating at 175 CPM.  Faster speeds are possible with fine tuning the process in the production environment.

Heading to Russia

Wow, here we are in mid-January already.  I suppose that belated new year wishes are in order!  We have been off to a tremendous start to 2011 at Commodore, with interest in our equipment and tooling at an all time high.  Much of the recent interest in our products has come from Russia.  It seems that the economy is really picking up there and the demand for expanded polystyrene foam is growing.

With that in mind, Brad, Eivind, and Kurt are preparing to travel to Moscow for Interplastica 2011.  Held at the Zao Expocenter, this show is in its 14th year, and is quickly becoming an important exhibition for the plastics industry in Russia and Eastern Europe.  The show runs from January 25 to the 28th.  After the show, there will be some customer visits throughout Russia, and then back to Bloomfield for the guys.

If you are planning on attending, stop by and visit us at booth FC03.  For more information, visit the Interplastica homepage.
