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.

Erkoform-3d motion
Erkoform-3d motion

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).

Technical Specification
• H 31,5 / W 35 / D 37 cm
• weight 13,9 kg
• foil diameter 120 mm
• foil thickness 0 - 5.5 mm
• ~220 - 240 (110 - 120) (100) volts, 50 - 60 hertz
• power: 340 watt
• max. vacuum 0.8 bar
• noise level < 60 dB(A)
Usage
• Program the foil, insert foil, start the heating process, place the model now at the latest, everything else will be done by the Erkoform-3d motion!
• No compressed air supply required, plug and play.
• No preheating time needed.
• Touchless temperature sensor to exactly determine the actual temperature (patented) of the thermoforming material.
• Prior to the thermoforming process built up vacuum with sudden forming.
• Vertical pre-stretching and fitting for even foil thicknesses.
• To position the foil, with foil thicknesses of 0 to 5.5 mm, the unit can be operated conveniently with one hand.
• Easily accessible model during heating period.
• Acoustic and visual signal (suitable for people with impaired hearing).

Erkoform-3d+
Erkoform-3d+

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 result is a less stressed splint.
The Occluform-3 can be installed (accessory).

Technical Specification
• H 31,5 / W 35 / D 37 cm
• weight 11,9 kg
• foil diameter 120 mm
• foil thickness 0 - 5.5 mm
• ~220 - 240 (110 - 120) (100) volts, 50 - 60 hertz
• power: 340 watt
• max. vacuum 0.8 bar
• noise level < 60 dB(A)
Usage
• Program the foil, insert foil, start the heating process, place the model now at the latest, the display leads with as short guide with animations through the sequence of work and indicates the required working steps.
• No compressed air supply required, plug and play.
• No preheating time needed.
• Touchless temperature sensor to exactly determine the actual temperature (patented) of the thermoforming material.
• Prior to the thermoforming process built up vacuum with sudden forming.
• Vertical pre-stretching and fitting for even foil thicknesses.
• To position the foil, with foil thicknesses of 0 to 5.5 mm, the unit can be operated conveniently with one hand.
• Easily accessible model during heating period.
• Acoustic and visual signal (suitable for people with impaired hearing).
• The display informs about each operating status and the remaining time.

Occluform-3
Occluform-3

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°.

Usage
The construction dimensions of the Occluform-3 allow a bite elevation at average values. The elevation of 1 line at the supporting pin corresponds to approx. 1 mm bite elevation at the incisal point.
If a construction bite is at disposal the models are articulated in the Occluform-3 using this construction bite
