Vacuum thermoforming unit with automated thermoforming process.
Thermoforming units from the expert
Erkodent produces reliable vacuum and pressure forming units. High-quality thermoforming results will be achieved with the Erkodent vacuum units as well as with the pressure forming units. If you wish to also imprint the opposing bite during thermoforming in one working-step, we recommend the combination of an Erkoform vacuum unit (serie 3) and our integrable occludator Occluform-3.

Thermoforming unit with automated thermoforming process.
A large volume reserve vacuum is being held to allow a sudden forming. A sensor for touchless temperature measurement ensures the accurate temperature of the material for the thermoforming regardless of the ambient temperature. The unit is equipped with a medium-wave infrared heating, which doesn’t need preheating time. The medium-wave allows for the materials to heat up not only on the surface but also in-depth. The result is a less stressed splint. The Occluform-3 can be installed (accessory).

The Erkoform-3d+ has the same characteristics as the Erkoform-3dmotion but without automated thermoforming process. Also the touchpanel functions are the same. A large volume reserve vacuum is being held to allow a sudden forming. A sensor for touchless temperature measurement ensures the accurate temperature of the material for the thermoforming regardless of the ambient temperature. The unit is equipped with a medium-wave infrared heating, which doesn’t need preheating time. The medium-wave allows for the materials to heat up not only on the surface but also in-depth.

The Occluform-3 is an occludator that can be integrated in a thermoforming unit to imprint the opposing bite (pat. 19915567) and can only be installed at the Erkoform units serie 3.The construction of the Occluform-3 unit is based on a Bonwill triangle with side length of 11.5 cm and a Balkwill angle of 20°.
If a construction bite is at disposal the models are articulated in the Occluform-3 using this construction bite
