A molding tool and a method for producing molded parts from a moldable material with a first tool component and a second tool component are described. The first tool component has a cavity with a first molding surface and the second tool component has a second molding surface and a flexible material forming at least one portion of the second molding surface. In a first step, a moldable material is introduced into the cavity and then the second tool component is moved into the cavity. A second molding surface of the second tool component moves the moldable material in regions against the first molding surface. Thereafter, overpressing of the second tool component takes place after reaching a bottom dead center within the cavity, whereby the flexible material is deformed and presses the moldable material against a corresponding portion of the first molding surface.

The device includes a mold block having at least one thermoforming chamber (28) having an inside surface (29), an axial opening (28A) through which a decorative wrap-around label (38) can be inserted into the chamber, and a moving end-wall (40) opposite from the opening. The end-wall is suitable for moving in an end segment (28A) of the chamber (28) between a positioning high level and at least one thermoforming low level, and the device has at least one tongue-and-groove set comprising a fin (42) on the end-wall (40) that is engaged in a notch (44) in the inside surface of the end segment (28B).

Pot with an undercut that includes a bottom wall (5), a side wall (6) that is closed on itself and connected to the bottom wall (5), with an opening providing access to the interior of the pot. The outside surface of the side wall of the pot has a non-symmetrical undercut shape for rotation around the vertical direction (Z). The outside surface has at least one vertical demolding plane (P) such that an undercut value of the pot with respective side ends of the pot, with a maximum side spacing of the outside surface in relation to the vertical demolding plane (P), is less than a maximum undercut value of the pot on the circumference of the outside surface of the pot.

A formulation for a recycled plastic composite composition, and a method of making the composite composition, is provided. The composite composition includes recycled EVA plastic from 30% to 80%, a stone powder from 20% to 70%; percentages by weight.

The invention relates to a thermoforming device (10), in particular for cups (1) that can be filled with a foodstuff, having a mold (11) comprising an upper part (12) and a deep-drawing mold (13) arranged underneath the upper part (12) for molding at least one cup (1) in a heated sheet of film (2), wherein the deep-drawing mold (13) forms a side wall (4) and a bottom area (5) of the at least one cup (1).

In one aspect, there is provided a composition comprising a waste particulate material and a biodegradable polymer; wherein the biodegradable polymer comprises a thermoplastic polymer; a weight portion of said biodegradable polymer within said composition is between 10 and 50%; and wherein said composition is flowable at a temperature between 100 and 220 C.. Furthermore, shaped articles derived from the composition and method of manufacturing thereof are also provided.
