Quaker Plastic Custom Thermoforming
Quaker’s engineering and manufacturing team works in a wide range of materials, specializing in weatherable polymers.

The Thermoforming Process
Quaker's thermoforming process converts various gauges of plastic sheet; such as P.E.T.G., A.B.S., polyethylene, polystyrene and engineering grade thermoplastics, into finished or semi-finished goods. The conversion process is achieved by heating a selected thermoplastic material in a "thermoforming oven" to generate a desired "sag", vacuuming the semi-molten material onto a mold until it cools to obtain the finished shape, then cutting and fabricating the thermoformed part, through use of CNC 5 axis robotics, to required dimensions.

Quaker currently produces end products for the recreation, packaging, construction, lawn and garden and various other markets.


Quaker Plastic Custom Extrusions
Engineering Solutions
Quaker’s extrusion division provides engineering solutions for a variety of parts used in a multitude of applications and markets.

The Extrusion Process
The process converts granular or powder raw material such as P.V.C., A.B.S., polyethylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate and engineering grade thermoplastics into finished or semi-finished goods. End products include tubes, profiles and rods, both flexible and rigid.

The conversion process is achieved by melting a selected thermoplastic material in an "extruder" to generate a continuous melt stream, forcing the molten material through a die, holding the material to a desired finished shape in a sizer while it is being cooled, and then cutting the extrusion to length.
