Innovative Thermoforming: The Future of Felt Component Manufacturing
Thermoforming is revolutionizing the production of components across various industries. By heating thermoplastic materials like felt, and applying vacuum or pressure, we at Sanken craft intricate three-dimensional shapes and parts. Our commitment to precision trimming and finishing ensures that every product meets the exact specifications and requirements of our discerning customers.
The Advantages of Thermoforming Technology
The thermoforming process boasts numerous benefits, such as:
Detailed surface finish for high-quality aesthetics
Cost-effective production of large parts
Lightweight yet robust materials for enhanced durability
Rapid prototyping and product development capabilities
Expertise in Pressure Thermoforming
At the heart of our operations is our expertise in pressure thermoforming, a service we've honed over two decades of research, development, and manufacturing. Our management systems are certified by ISO9001:2015, ISO14001:2015, and IATF16949:2016, attesting to our unwavering commitment to quality and environmental stewardship.
Our seasoned engineering team collaborates with clients from diverse industries to identify and implement efficient applications and solutions. Our state-of-the-art workshop is equipped with hot presses ranging in size, capable of producing thermoformed products as large as 1.2m x 2.5m. This capability allows us to cater to a broad spectrum of project requirements.
Real-world Applications: Powering Honda Electric Vehicles
Our innovative approach to pressure thermoforming has led to the development of high-grade components for the automotive industry. Self-developed PET+PP felt raw materials have enabled us to create products such as outer front wall sound insulation pads, battery heat shields, bottom guard plates, and trunk lid trim panels, which are now integral to various Honda electric vehicles.
Bottom Guard:Protecting the undercarriage with durability and strength.
