Thermoforming

From principle

to the competence


The principle

of thermoforming Plastics

are

supplied

as foil or

sheet

Plastic is

heated in

the

elasto-

plastic

zone

Plastic is

moulded with

a forming tool

and cooled

down until the

moulded part

is stable

The moulded

part (e.g. cup)

is punched

out and

demoulded

The

moulded

parts are

stacked and

packaged

lined up, the Stuttgart-Munich line

is laid.

A single ILLIG cup machine can

theoretically supply all of Cologne

with coffee. Because 180,000

coffee capsules are produced per

hour on one ILLIG machine. With

an average German coffee

consumption of 4 cups per day,

this is quite enough for the daily

requirements of the cathedral city.

Sustainable solutions

Circular Economy

Circular Thinking


Design4Recycling

1. Recycling companies process the raw material plastic

2. Various semi-finished products such as sheets and

rolls can be produced from plastic granulate

3. ILLIG customers produce products and applications

from it

4. Consumers and businesses use the products and

then dispose of them

5. Consumers separate the packaging according to type

6. Disposal companies deliver the recyclable plastic to

companies for recycling


ILLIG develops needs-based solutions and shapes the technology of the qualitative and

resource-saving thermoforming of tomorrow. Productive, clean, energy-efficient and

sustainable - Circular Thinking! just the way it is.
