Plastic Machine Covers
Machine covers, machine cladding, and machine housings made of plastic for enhanced safety, efficiency, and protection.
Plastic Machine Covers: Optimal Protection Against External Influences
Plastic machine covers offer an optimal solution to protect your valuable machines. Manufactured using high-precision thermoforming techniques, machine cladding is not only robust and durable but also customizable. We design and manufacture custom machine housings from all common plastics to reliably protect machines and equipment from dust, dirt, moisture, and mechanical influences.
What are machine covers used for?
Machine guards not only serve to extend the service life and ensure the functionality of machines, but also to protect personnel.
Their protective function prevents direct contact with moving machine parts, thereby minimising the risk of injury. Each machine cover is individually tailored to the geometry, operating environment and visual requirements – from robust industrial solutions to high-quality designer covers.
Plastic Machine Covers: Applications and Features
Machine Housings Ensure Optimal Protection for Machines
Machine covers not only provide top-tier protection against dust and dirt but, using technical and high-performance plastics, also offer excellent heat resistance.
Machine Covers Ensure Longevity
High-quality plastic machine covers are resistant to impacts and wear. As a result, plastic machine cladding serves as an ideal protection system to extend the lifespan of technical equipment.
Custom Cladding for Your Machine
Machine covers for protecting your equipment can be customized to suit various machine shapes and sizes. Whether the cover needs to be rectangular, round, or transparent, formary provides a solution.
DfM analysis for machine covers: Is your design suitable for deep drawing?
Do you already have a CAD model for your plastic machine cladding? We will check it for you – free of charge and without obligation.
With our DfM analysis (Design for Manufacturability), we can determine at an early stage whether your design can be technically implemented using the thermoforming process. We would be happy to go through your data with you.

Plastic Machine Covers – The Benefits
Wide Range of Materials
Depending on the application, different thermoplastics can be used for the machine cover to make it resistant to as many external influences as possible.
Color Options
Machine housings are available in various colors and shapes to meet individual requirements.
Heat & Insulation Properties
Heat-resistant machine cladding provides insulation and protects against heat, which extends the lifespan of machines.
Stabilizing Elements
Stabilizing elements such as ribs and braces can support the shape stability of machine covers.
Protection Against Dust & Dirt
Machine covers and housings prevent dust and dirt from entering machine components, making maintenance easier and extending the machine's uptime.
High-Quality Optical Finish
Compared to injection molding, thermoformed machine covers have no visual defects such as mold lines on the surface.
Suitable materials for machine covers
Plastic Machine Covers – Application Fields
Machine Covers for Personnel Protection
With plastic machine covers, workers are prevented from reaching into the machine and coming into contact with moving parts. In cases of machine failures and defects where parts could injure people, plastic covers for machines are essential. High-quality personnel protection is the responsibility of the company.
Here, savings can either be made in the wrong areas or premium parts can be used with plastics specialized for the application. Machine covers for protection increase worker safety and extend machine longevity.
Machine Covers for Medical Devices
Plastic machine covers protect sensitive medical technology during transport or for stationary medical devices, equipment, and instruments equipped with delicate electronics.
Machine Covers for Internal and External Logistics
Plastic machine covers are not only used on machines as protection during the production process. Additionally, machine cladding is also used in internal and external logistics to avoid transport damage.
