Abstract: A thermoforming system for carrying out a method for processing two different thermoplastic films has a thermoforming station for processing the different films, a transport device for transporting the film to the thermoforming station, and a connecting station for connecting successive blank cuts so as to form a film strip. Cuts of the one or the other film are selectively and variably brought on request in a conveyor through the thermoforming system, such that different successive cuts are conveyed by the conveyor to the thermoforming station and processed therein, and two successive cuts are joined into a film strip, either edge to edge or with an overlap.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for processing two different thermoplastic films (F1, F2, F3) in a thermoforming system, wherein cuts (9 . . . 14) of the one or the other film are selectively and variably brought on request in a conveyor means through the thermoforming system, such that different successive cuts (9 . . . 14) are conveyed by the conveyor means to a thermoforming station (18) and processed therein, and two successive cuts (9 . . . 14) are joined into a film strip (12), either edge to edge or with an overlap (15, 16).

Abstract: An apparatus for shaping thermoplastic materials or for laminating backing parts includes a turntable driven by a rotary drive and having rests for receiving supporting devices for lower molds or backing parts. The turntable has a plurality of receiving places which can enter alternately into a preliminary blowing box, where a molded part can be shaped in conjunction with an upper mold arranged on an upper table. The preliminary blowing box has a front wall with an opening, facing the rotary drive. The turntable has a separating wall with flanges on both side which engage a wall indentation which surrounds the rotary drive and consequently bounds the preliminary blowing box, in order to seal the opening. A seal which can be shaped by means f a pressure medium and can be pressed against the separating wall is located in the front wall of the preliminary blowing box about the opening.
