    Research & Development at Kiefel

    At our Customer Innovation and Material R&D Centers we advance our research activities into more sustainable technologies, processes and materials.

    Our customers benefit here from sample productions and machine demonstrations that are optimally tailored to individual requirements.

    Be one step ahead with your products

    Lighter packaging? Increased stability? Or can material distribution be optimized so that the stack height can be reduced? These are all typical examples of development challenges that we deal with in research and development. We have the experience, the specialists and the opportunities to handle such projects ourselves.

    Customer Innovation Center

    Focus on application: Manufacturing of samples and prototypes

    Our Customer Innovation Centers provide customers with a variety of plastics processing machinery for sample and prototype production.


    Take a look at our plastics processing machines and experience thermoforming of cups and coffee capsules as well as tray packaging for food. SPEEDFORMER KTR and KMD series machines are available for your trials and sample production.

    Continuous optimization

    In order to stay competitive in the marketplace, it is important to keep up-to-date with the latest state-of-the-art production lines in the marketplace and to aim for competitive comparisons. After various analyses, we can provide information about possible changes to optimize product quality and output. We also offer training that is tailored to your needs.

    Prototyping

    Our expertise makes your prototype concept successful. We produce samples with your product design and your materials on our own thermoforming machines. Further downstream automation like rim rolling, printing, sealing and sleeving can be tested.

    Sample Production

    We offer you the opportunity to execute trial runs on our own thermoforming machine. After a minimal investment in a simple matrix tool we quickly supply your desired sample.

    Materials Competence at Kiefel

    Focus on processing materials: research & analysis

    In our Material Centers, we advance our research activities into more sustainable technologies, processes and materials.

    Our customers benefit from advanced solutions that are optimally tailored to individual requirements, from material to machine.

    We put materials to the test, analyze, categorize and test them. This enables us to deliver optimal results to our customers and improve products and machines. At the Material R&D Center in Sprang-Capelle, the Netherlands, we are driving forward innovations based on recycled and bio-based plastics.

    Thermoforming Tool Konfigurator

    Calculation of various tool configurations

    Calculate different tool configurations on more than 40 thermoforming machines and determine your (extrusion) output. 

     

    This calculation program is a tool to help you calculate:

    • Product weights against material thicknesses and vice versa
    • Tool layouts with the number of cavities and material usage for your thermoform machine

     

    Calculate the right information at your convenience. You can calculate the number of cavities on various European machine types in the market. Tool layout and number of cavities are depending on many different parameters as machine type, machine serial number, sheet quality, sheet thickness, product heights, available infrastructure, skill of machine operators, stacking systems or many other variables.

    Under some conditions, with reduced space for spreading the sheet or if you are willing to accept a less stable tool, the number of cavities can possibly be increased. In other situations there can be very good reasons to decrease the number of cavities. The Configurator uses standard machine data from machines, material and stacker systems.
