Semi Automatic (referred to as Midmatic) Vacuum Former provides for automatic processing cycle complete with material heat, vacuum to mould the shape, cooling of the formed product and ejection from the mould, index of the vacuum formed  sheet and  in-line sheet separation for continued uninterrupted production

Ridat Midmatic Vacuum Formers has, since the late 60's, generally been the work horse of the trade formers throughout the UK (and many of the English speaking countries around the globe), until the introduction of the form-cut stack systems. Updated to current day standards, it is still the appropriate solution for small to medium volume production runs and even today can be found plugging away with many trade formers.

Ridat Midmatic Vacuum Formers together with Roller Press still form cost effective alternative to the high cost 3-stage inline thermoformers.
