A.S. Enterprises is a foam manufacturing company of cutting and processing machines that are required for cutting polyurethane foam. It was established in 1971 and has been delivering high-performance PU foam-cutting machines since then. The high-end machines are ISO certified to provide durable and efficient results. The product range includes cutting machines, cutting lines, Vertical foam Cutting machine, conveyors, and foam recycling. Polyurethane foam provides excellent heat insulation, which is why it is used extensively for several applications like furniture, cushioning in bedding, automotive interiors, packaging, wall insulation, roof insulation, and barrier sealants. The wide range of applications and use of PU foams has brought forward the requirement for advanced PU foam cutting machines.
What is a Foam Cutting Machine?
Among the various products, a foam cutting machine is used for the cutting of high-density polyurethane foam into different and complex sizes, shapes, blocks, sheets, and slices. It is available in various sizes and shapes and can be partially or fully automatic. There are two kinds of foam cutting machines – horizontal and vertical – depending upon the requirement. A vertical foam cutting machine is the most reliable and adaptable method of PU cutting, among the two. The thickness of the foam and the desired final product help in determining which foam-cutting machine is to be used. The vertical cutting machine is designed for cutting large foam blocks into small shapes, slices, or blocks. It is also used for trimming the edges of foam clocks. These cutters are ideal for making thick PU sheets or cushions with refined precision.
Basic Vertical Foam Cutting Machine (V4B Model)
The Basic Vertical Cutting Machine (V4B Model) is designed to provide a reliable means of cutting bigger PU blocks into smaller ones and trimming the sides of flexible PU foam blocks. The cutting accuracy of this vertical saw machine is +/-2 mm and uses an AC power supply of 415 V. The model V4-B offers a cutting height of 1200 mm and a cutting length of 2200 mm. The cutting machine features a 1200 mm table inside and an 1828 mm table outside. It requires a horsepower of 2.25 to run efficiently and weighs a total of 1200 kg. Standard equipment required for the setup of this vertical cutting machine includes:
- Adjustable side supports for height adjustment
- Laminated wooden tabletop
- Slitting section for balanced blade-wheels
- Electric blade driver motor
- Electric grinding attachment
- Table frame on bearing slides for easy operation
- Lower and upper band-knife guidance
Applications of Polyurethane Foam
As discussed above, polyurethane foam is usually used in home furnishings, such as bedding, furniture, carpet underlayment, and various other applications. It can be used to provide cushioning to the upholstered furniture, or heat insulation. To meet the foam requirements, it needs to be molded into different sizes and shapes, leading to the use of a foam cutting machine. Most PU foam cutting machines use a stainless-steel wire to cut the foam into thick sheets or for sofa cushions. A vertical foam cutting machine uses a blade that runs from floor to ceiling and creates transverse cuts through the foam.
From a diverse range of horizontal and vertical foam cutters, you can carefully choose and select one to meet your specific requirement, on the A.S. Enterprises website. Choosing the right foam-cutting machine can be an important investment for designing different products and expanding the business.
