Semi-Manual Ridat range includes a number of Semi Manual and manual models designed to cater to the needs of schools, model-makers and for prototyping. These benefit from Ridat’s over 50 years of experience in the manufacture of thermoforming equipment to high engineering standards. These series of machines have been designed to provide a low cost solution. Semi-Manual Vacuum Forming Machine (SM) Semi Manual (SM series) Vacuum Former is designed for prototype and small volume runs. Here, the crucial heating cycle is automatic. All other facets are power assisted. Loading of sheets and removal of the forming are manual. Ridat Semi-Manual Vacuum Formers offer, as standard high specifications, consistent production and a wide range of standard models and readiness to respond to requests for bespoke specifications. 3020SM Semi-Manual Vacuum Former MediVac Vacuum Forming Machine (MediVac) MediVac Vacuum Former designed specifically for hospitals Ridat MediVac series of vacuum formers offers a choice of sizes depending on whether shells were to be made to fit the head and neck or to fit the thorax.? It was first developed in early 70’s, in co-operation with Royal Marsden Hospital, London to produce beam directional shells for radiotherapy. Despite being messier than the thermoplastic option, vacuum formed shells are generally more accurate, better in replicating the contours of the body, less flimsy, easier to label and more suitable for skin sparing. 3624 MediVac

MediVac Vacuum Forming Machine (MediVac) Ridat’s MediVac range of vacuum forming machines are designed for use by hospitals to produce moulds for radiotherapy masks. To make the shells, an impression of the patient is first taken & from this a plaster positive cast is made. The cast is placed in the Ridat Vacuum Former and plastic film is heated and drawn down over the cast by applying vacuum. These transparent plastic vacuum formed shells are used to immobilise and position the patients comfortably so that the external beam radiotherapy can be planned and given in a precise and repeatable manner. This route offers more accuracy, better in replicating the contours of the body, less flimsy, can be readily labelled and much more suitable for skin sparing.
