The heater hood mounts on a center post and swings clear of the forming area for loading; a spring-loaded frame holds the sheet material above a perforated platen, and a heavy-duty vacuum motor built into the cast base pulls the softened sheet down over the model in seconds — no compressed air line required. Separate HEATER and MOTOR toggle switches with a pilot lamp let the operator preheat and then draw the sheet independently. Supplied with the heater assembly, forming frame and platen, cast base, and line cord as shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Dental Manufacturing Co.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not indicated — no legible model or data plate on this unit; please review the photographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vacuum Forming \/ Thermoforming Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-station benchtop, self-contained vacuum motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accepts standard 5\" × 5\" vacuum forming sheets (Buffalo standard size) — confirm against your material stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Independent HEATER and MOTOR toggle switches with pilot lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeater Hood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Post-mounted, rotates clear of the forming area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForming Frame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring-loaded clamping frame over perforated platen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVacuum Source:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integral electric vacuum motor — no compressed air connection needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120V, standard grounded line cord (as shown)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTypical Applications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bleaching trays, night guards, mouthguards, retainers, temporary matrices, surgical stents, custom trays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Forming sheet material, models and forming beads are not supplied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Testing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspected by ABC Dentalworks prior to listing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCosmetic wear consistent with a used laboratory unit — see photographs for actual condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEquipment Policy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEquipment is refurbished, tested and patient-ready unless stated otherwise.
