The GN3625DX Contact Heat Thermoformer from BMG. The lowest energy usage in the industry.

The GN3625DX Thermoformer was expertly engineered and developed to meet today's complex demands across multiple applications for thermoformed APET products. This particular design solution was developed to provide a far greater APET cutting capacity than other standard Contact-Heat Cut-In-Place industry thermoformers and exceeds industry standards in creating multifunctional solutions for thermoformed plastic containers. Increasingly, more uses are being specified for food containers, blister packs, automobile components, home electrical appliances, and industrial trays. When consumer marketing models require consumers to view the products they are buying, this clear poly-based solution is mandatory for safety, crush strength, and the ability to manufacture multiple encasements for retail environments.

The GN DX series thermoformers have quickly become the industry choice for customers worldwide who require a larger forming area and cutting capacity to maximize part production. All DX machines incorporate servo movements to provide maximum cycle speed and efficiency.

Bottlenecks can slow down your operations, but BMG offers solutions that make a real difference. Here’s how we can help.

Every production line faces its own set of bottlenecks. BMG can help you identify the problems and work with you to create a custom solution. Our latest blog explains how to identify these issues. Drawing on BMG’s global industry experience, we help you figure out what works and what doesn’t, turning slowdowns into clear reasons to automate. Since every business is different, you need a solution built on deep industry knowledge. That’s why we’re here.

BMG uses its industry experience to take the time to understand your process and find where changes are needed. We do this through an onsite visit to identify the issues and recommend solutions for your end-of-line production. Are you experiencing breakdowns, slowdowns, or stoppages? If your packaging line is running but orders are still delayed, the real problem is often not your filler or thermoformer. Instead, it’s usually the packing and palletizing area. A slow or unreliable end-of-line can limit your output, increase overtime, and add hidden costs.
