Since the early 70’s, the Ridat Midmatic Vacuum Forming Machine has served as the work horse for the thermoforming industry until the introduction of the form-cut stack machines. Most of the leading trade formers in the UK and many across the English speaking nations around the globe started operations with a Ridat Midmatic Vacuum Former and Roller Cutting Press.

Optional features include:

• Plug assistance
• High velocity cooling fans
• Model RC1 water recirculator
