Plastic Machine Covers
Machine covers, machine cladding, and machine housings made of plastic for enhanced safety, efficiency, and protection.
What are Plastic Machine Covers?
Plastic machine covers, machine cladding, and machine housings are precisely fitting protective covers that shield machines and systems from external influences such as dust, dirt, moisture, mechanical stress, and high temperatures. They are manufactured using a thermoforming process and can be adapted precisely to the shape and function of the machine.
What are Machine Covers Used for?
Machine covers 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.
Functions & Properties of Plastic Machine Covers
Machine Housings Ensure Optimal Protection for Machines
Made from technical and high-performance plastics, machine covers withstand high temperatures, impacts and abrasion.
Machine Covers Ensure Longevity
High-quality machine covers are resistant to impact and wear. Plastic machine covers therefore serve as an ideal protection system for extending the service life of technical equipment.
Custom Cladding for Your Machine
Whether rectangular, round, transparent or coloured – we manufacture every cover for machines to fit the machine geometry exactly.
DfM-Analysis for Machine Covers: Is your Design suitable for Thermoforming?
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.

Advantages of Plastic Machine Covers
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
Fields of Application for Plastic Machine Covers
Machine Covers for Personnel Protection
Plastic machine covers prevent employees from reaching into the machine and coming into contact with moving parts. Machine covers are essential in cases of machine faults and defects where parts could injure people.
Machine Covers for Medical Devices
Plastic machine covers protect sensitive medical technology during transport or stationary medical devices, apparatus and instruments equipped with sensitive electronics.
Machine Covers for Internal and External Logistics
Plastic machine covers are not only used on machines as protection during the production process. Machine covers are also used for internal and external logistics to prevent damage during transport.
