From Pollutec 2025 to Order: WeiForm Pro 4000 for a French Plastic Fabricator

Project at a Glance

From Pollutec 2025 to a Confirmed Equipment Order

The first contact took place at Pollutec 2025, where the French customer visited the Weissenberg booth to discuss plastic fabrication equipment and learn more about the available machine configurations.

The purchase was not made at the exhibition itself. After returning from Pollutec, the customer continued its internal evaluation and reviewed how an integrated sheet fabrication machine could fit its own production requirements. Approximately one month later, the company contacted Weissenberg again and confirmed the WeiForm Pro 4000 order.

This sequence is important because the value of an industrial exhibition is not simply the first conversation. For this project, the face-to-face meeting created the starting point; the final decision followed a separate technical and commercial evaluation after the show.

What the French Fabricator Needed

The customer works in industrial plastic fabrication and required more than a conventional flat-sheet butt welder. The selected equipment needed to support several fabrication processes in one system while meeting European compliance requirements.

Why the WeiForm Pro 4000 Matched the Project

4-Meter Working Width

With a maximum working width of 4,000 mm, the WeiForm Pro 4000 gives a fabrication workshop room to process large thermoplastic sheets while remaining within a practical machine size for industrial production.

Welding, Bending and Rolling in One Machine

The main reason this configuration matched the customer's requirement was its 3-in-1 fabrication architecture. The machine supports:

• • Plastic sheet butt welding for flat-sheet joining;
• • Adjustable sheet bending from 5° to 95°;
• • Roll bending for curved thermoplastic sections.

The benefit is fabrication flexibility: one platform can support different sheet-processing tasks without requiring every operation to be assigned to a separate machine.

Capacity Matched to the Selected Configuration

The WeiForm Pro 4000 is specified for 3–30 mm welding thickness, up to 30 mm rolling thickness, and 3–20 mm bending thickness. Its bending angle is adjustable from 5° to 95°.

For buyers comparing different machine sizes, these parameters matter because working width alone does not define whether a machine fits the job. Welding thickness, bending capacity, rolling requirement and the geometry of the parts all need to be considered together.

How the Machine Configuration Answered the Requirement

Buyers evaluating similar equipment can also compare other sizes in the Plastic Sheet Welding & Bending Machine range before selecting a working width and process combination.

CE Compliance and DVS 2207 Process Requirements

Compliance was part of the equipment decision from the beginning. For this French project, the WeiForm Pro 4000 was supplied with the required CE documentation before delivery.

The machine's welding process is also designed to support procedures based on the applicable DVS 2207 requirements. CE documentation and welding procedure requirements serve different purposes, so they should be considered separately when specifying equipment for a European fabrication workshop.

Factory Testing Before Shipment to France

Before dispatch, the machine underwent factory testing and operation videos were shared with the customer for review. The project was completed under a relatively tight production schedule, but the testing process was completed before shipment.

Following the pre-shipment review, the customer expressed satisfaction with the machine's design, build quality and overall performance during testing.

Project Result

The project moved from an initial Pollutec conversation to a confirmed order in approximately one month, followed by production, factory testing and shipment to France.

The final configuration gave the customer a 4-meter thermoplastic sheet fabrication system combining butt welding, bending and rolling, together with the CE documentation required for the project.

For other plastic fabrication workshops, the main lesson from this project is that machine selection should start with the complete production requirement—not just one headline specification. Working width, sheet thickness, bending angle, rolling capability, material type and compliance requirements all affect which configuration is the right fit.
