Pyradia designs and manufactures through-air thermoforming equipment. Thermoforming is a process in which materials are heated and then pressed or vacuum-formed into the desired shape. Through-air thermoforming is used for porous materials such as nonwovens, woven carpets, foams and various coated fabrics. Heated air volume is pushed through the material thickness, directly
heating fibers, achieving unparalleled high heat transfer.
Pyradia has extensive experience in through-air thermoforming batch ovens for
nonwoven blanks heating. Multiple Tier-1 automotive manufacturers are producing high quality and precisely defined interior components such as carpets, dashboards, headliners and other components, using Pyradia thermoforming ovens. We fabricate top-rated machinery, such as thermoforming ovens, pick-and-place machinery, unwinds cut-to-length, tenter frames. Whether you are looking for a carrousel or in-line layout, with material rolls to be automatically cut to desired length or automatic and continuous blank pile unstacking, we can provide a complete through-air thermoforming solution or an individual machine to be integrated into an existing production line.
Through-air ovens precise temperature and airflow controls allows processing awide range of substrates, from delicate lightweight nonwovens to thick fiber battings. Through air is a gentle process that minimizes heat damage or distortion of sensitive materials, heating-up delicate substrates without compromising their structural integrity or performance.
Certain thermoforming processes involve marrying two material blanks, each requiring different heating methods. We can manufacture a thermoforming oven that simultaneously treats one layer with infrared and the other with through-air heating.
With over 50 years of experience, extensive process knowledge, drying modeling software and pilot drying equipment, Pyradia engineers will analyse your specifications and recommend the ideal dryer configuration for optimal process efficiency.
