GN Thermoforming Equipment (BMG) Made in Canada
GN3021DX
GN3021DX High-Efficiency Contact Heat Thermoformer
A roll-fed thermoformer that heats the sheet by pressing it against a heated platen, then trims the parts inside the mould. That in-mould cut keeps trim accurate on APET clamshells, cups, lids and deli containers. The DX version adds servo drives and more APET cutting capacity than the standard GN3021C.

Manufacturer data. Options and exact configuration are confirmed in your quote.
Where it fits
The GN3021DX suits a food-packaging converter running APET clamshells, cups, lids or deli containers who wants in-mould cutting for accurate trim rather than a separate downstream trimming step. A 760 x 530 mm forming area and up to 22 cycles per minute suit a small to mid-size producer rather than a high-volume line, and servo drives on the DX version give more APET cutting capacity than GN's standard GN3021C. Being built in Nova Scotia may matter to a Canadian buyer weighing domestic support and potentially simpler logistics against an imported machine, though this should be confirmed on the quote given GN's recent change in ownership.
Confirm before you order
- Confirm lead time and the exact configuration assembled at Laguna's Grand Prairie, Texas facility
- Check maximum cycle rate with GN directly, since sources disagree (22 versus 30 cycles per minute)
- Verify material thickness range (0.15 to 1.00 mm) matches the sheet gauge planned
