Bending machinesHRK 125-i
Description
Thermoplastic bending machine with double-sided heating for demanding productions
The Shannon HRK 125-I is a high-performance plastic laminate bending machine designed for professionals who require precision, versatility, and continuous production. Thanks to its simultaneous top and bottom heating system, the machine heats the material evenly from both sides, reducing internal stress in the plastic and allowing for reliable work with considerable thicknesses, up to 20 mm, and with polycarbonate.
The HRK series incorporates the ability to save settings and working parameters. This speeds up configuration changes and ensures repeatable results in serial production. The electronic timer and a working length of 1,250 mm complete a machine designed to deliver consistent performance over time.
The heating profiles can be precisely positioned, and the heating cables are height-adjustable, giving the operator complete control over the bending line.
The expandable modular construction allows the machine's capabilities to be expanded as the workshop's needs evolve.Technical characteristics HRK 125-i

HRK 125-I Bending Machine Operation
Double-Sided Heating to Eliminate Material Stress
The simultaneous upper and lower heating system is the main difference between the HRK series and conventional bending machines. Heating the material from both sides allows the thermoplastic to reach the working temperature evenly, without creating thermal gradients that generate internal stresses. The result is a burr-free bend, without cracks, and with a top-quality visual finish, even with polycarbonate and thicknesses greater than 6 mm.
Digital Display and Parameter Memory for Series Production
The y version includes a digital display and a memory function. Changing materials or thicknesses does not require reconfiguring the machine from scratch: the operator retrieves the saved parameters and resumes production in a few seconds. The electronic timer adds extra control over the heating cycle, ensuring repeatability from garment to garment.
Adjustable heating profiles and cables for maximum precision
The heating profiles are adjusted horizontally and the cables vertically, allowing the heat line to be aligned. This flexibility is especially valuable when working with multiple fold lines on the same piece or when it is necessary to quickly change the working angle.
HRK 125-I Bending Machine Construction
Extendable Modular Table Design to Adapt to Workshop Growth
The HRK 125-I features a modular architecture that allows the heating configuration to be expanded from 1 to 4 lower lines and from 1 to 1. This scalability means that the initial investment can grow with the business without needing to change machines. The tabletop format facilitates integration into any workshop space and simplifies material loading and unloading.
Technical specifications designed for professional production
The machine works with a length of 1,250 mm, a distance between 2 sheets of 15 to 610 mm, and an electrical consumption of between 1 and 2 kg. With dimensions of 1,470×680×740 mm, the HRK 125-I combines structural robustness and a compact footprint for typical production spaces.
Materials compatible with the HRK 125-I
The HRK 125-I is compatible with industrial and commercial materials, with thicknesses between 1 and 6 mm under standard conditions and up to 20 mm in the maximum configuration:
Acrylic (PMMA): material High transparency and optical finish; double-sided heating prevents cracking and ensures clean curves.
Polycarbonate (PC): High-impact resistant engineering thermoplastic; simultaneous heating is especially effective for stress relief in greater thicknesses.
PVC: Versatile material for signage, lettering, and construction; excellent performance in multiple bends.
Polystyrene (PS): Lightweight material for commercial and display applications; requires precise temperature control to prevent warping.
Configure the HRK 125-I for your production
The modular nature of the HRK 125-I allows you to adapt the machine configuration according to the type of production, material, and workload:
Heating line configuration
Standard and short runs Up to 4 lower lines + 4 upper lines: maximum capacity for high-volume production with multiple simultaneous bending lines
Modular expansion: progressive expansion without needing to replace the machine for each material
Precise positioning of heating profiles according to the thickness and type of thermoplastic
Height adjustment of heating cables for accurate alignment of the heating line

Ask for budget
In the plastic laminate bending machine market, most machines operate with single-sided heating. The Shannon HRK 125-I breaks with this model by offering simultaneous top and bottom heating, a technology that until recently was exclusive to high-production industrial lines. This feature allows workshops and plastic processing companies to achieve a much higher level of quality and production efficiency, without increasing cycle time or resorting to more expensive equipment. With single-sided heating, the operator must manually compensate for the temperature difference between sides, which lengthens the process and increases the risk of error. The HRK 125-I eliminates this limitation:
The material is heated simultaneously on both sides, reducing heating time
The internal stress of the thermoplastic decreases, improving bending quality.
Viable
Polycarbonate, especially sensitive to thermal stress, is obtained with consistent results
The incorporation of the digital display and parameter memory in the real version with a strong>i version. When it is necessary to switch from bending 3 mm acrylic to 8 mm polycarbonate, the time, temperature, and position parameters of the heating elements change completely. With the memory function, all these settings are saved and recalled in a single step, eliminating manual configuration errors and reducing unproductive time between job changes. Bending:
HRK 65-I: for jobs up to 650 mm in length, ideal for workshops with small-format production
HRK 125-I: the balanced solution for all standard formats - and
HRK 200-I: for productions requiring the maximum working length available in the series
The HRK 125-I is the model that best combines capacity, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness for most professional workshops.
