Cooling time too short, part still above the ejection temperature when eject air fires
Eject air pressure too low or air holes clogged not providing sufficient release force
Mold surface rough or contaminated with material buildup from previous runs
Draft angles in the mold worn or insufficient for the material being formed
Heater set temperature too high relative to the sheet material softening point
Sheet chain or clamp tension insufficient to hold the heated sheet taut
Transfer time from oven to form station too long allowing over-softening
Non-uniform heat across the oven causing one zone to over-heat

How to identify and replace a failed heater element on a Brown Machine Aclo / Quantum thermoformer
A failed oven heater element creates a cold spot in the web, producing thin or incompletely formed parts in one zone. Identify the failed element with a clamp ammeter before replacing.
How to fix parts sticking in the mold on a Brown Machine Aclo / Quantum thermoformer
Parts sticking in the thermoforming mold indicate insufficient air-eject pressure, too-short cooling time, or worn draft angles. Increase cooling time before increasing eject pressure.
How to fix web sag or droop on a Brown Machine Aclo / Quantum thermoformer
Sheet sag before forming is usually the heater temperature too high, sheet tension too low, or a slow oven-to-form transfer. Lower the heater temperature in small increments and optimize the transfer time.
