Shenzhen, China — Hengxing Blister Machinery (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., a blister and thermoforming equipment manufacturer founded in 1999, has released a significantly upgraded configuration of its HX-61A vacuum thermoforming machine. The update targets the two bottlenecks that small and mid-sized packaging factories report most often: long heat-up cycles and inconsistent forming quality between shifts.
The headline change is a new intelligent temperature module system. Conventional thermoformers in this class require 15 to 20 minutes of preheating before the first usable sheet can be formed. The upgraded HX-61A reaches working temperature in approximately 5 minutes, while parameter setup is completed in about 1 minute through the Delta PLC touch screen.
Because complete heating profiles can now be stored and recalled, operators no longer rebuild settings from scratch at every shift change or material switch. Imported heating wire combined with built-in insulation cotton holds temperature more evenly across the forming area, which reduces scrap on thin-gauge sheet and shortens the learning curve for new operators.

| Vacuum system | Leap standard pump; Precision 40 m³/h high-output option |
| Cooling | Air cooling + spray cooling |
| Machine dimensions | L2750 * W2040 * H2060 mm |
| Certification | CE |
The machine processes PVC, PP, PE, POF, PPT, PTGF, APET, ABS, OPP, PS and PET without hardware changes — only the mould and the stored recipe differ. For factories running mixed order books, that flexibility keeps a single unit productive across several product lines instead of idling between runs.
For food-contact applications, the machine runs PET, PP and PLA sheet with stable thickness control — the profile most often requested by exporters shipping into European and North American retail channels.
Hengxing has manufactured thermoforming equipment since 1999 with a workforce of 80 to 100 staff, and roughly 80 to 90 percent of annual output ships outside China. More than 1,500 customers have been served to date, with a current annual sales volume between USD 4 and 6 million. Every unit ships with CE certification and a dedicated operation video, and custom thermoforming moulds are produced in-house as a companion line.
The upgraded HX-61A is available now with a minimum order quantity of one unit. Packaging factories evaluating a first thermoforming line, or replacing an aging vacuum former, can request a specification sheet and mould quotation through the Hengxing website or on WhatsApp.
