Polyurethane foam is a versatile flexible material with endless applications for insulation, cushioning our furniture from sofas to automobile interiors, and packaging purposes. Few foam cutting applications include shoe heels, furniture like chair upholstery, panels for doors and windows, integral skins, cushion rebound elastic components, hollow constructions, and transmission compressors.
PU foam is manufactured in various shapes, densities, and firmness for a variety of applications. The A.S. Enterprises manufactures the best foam cutting machines in India commercially for foam producers all over the world. Big chunks of polyurethane foam blocks can be easily transformed into desired shape and size by trimming and stenciling thick sheets from our foam cutting machines. Foams of different densities and hardness require differing cutting blades and at different speeds. The PU foam can be cut in three basic ways for industrial applications:
Vertical Cutting
The vertical cutting of PU foam happens on two scales that are on a larger scale for big chunks of foam and on a smaller scale for trimmed blocks. Vertical saw cutting machines for slab stock is also known as block cutter and with angle blade, it is called an angle-cutting machine in which the blade can be angled from the overhead knife seat for angular cuts such as triangles and trapezoids. Our vertical foam cutting machine is a reliable heavy-duty precision cutting machine with an excellent cutting accuracy of +/- 2mm. Here is a list of several types of vertical foam cutting machines we manufacture:
- Basic Vertical Cutting Machine (V4B Model)
- Standard Vertical Cutting Machine (V4 Model)
- Lab Vertical Cutting Machine (V-Lab Model)
- Big Vertical Cutting Machine (V5 Model)
- Automatic Vertical Cutting Machine (VA Model)
Horizontal Cutting
Horizontal cutting is typically used for slicing the blocks of foam into thinner sheets for further trimming and cutting. This is used in cutting sheets as thin as fabric for use in quilting or apparel. Our range of horizontal foam cutting machines is designed to cut high-density flexible foam into sheets ranging from 10mm to 200mm. They are fully automatic PLC-controlled high-pressure cutting machines. Here is a list of several types of horizontal foam cutting machines we manufacture:
- Horizontal Cutting Machine (Auto) Model HRA7
- Horizontal Cutting Machine (Heavy) Model HHR2
- Horizontal Cutting Machine (Belt) Model BHR
- Circular Cutting Machine (Basic) Model CCMB
- Circular Cutting Machine (Standard) Model CCM
Trimming
Trimming utilizes both vertical and horizontal cutting of smaller blocks into desired shapes. A combination of cutting techniques is used for trimming. The block cutter is designed with a two-way guillotine system that cuts from top to bottom and button to top alternatively. The sizes of the blocks can be adjusted on the photo sensor of this PLC-operated machine. The trimming block cutter is preferred for processing tailoring individual custom designs instead of bulk foam blocks.
Our range of foam cutting machinery is popular for its user-friendly experience, ease of operationally and installation, low maintenance, and running costs. They provide extensive production at low-cost work with their open, simple, and compact structural system. These state-of-art cutting machines are utilizing precision cutting technology for the accurate splitting of foam material with narrow tolerance. These are the benefits of utilizing computerized machines with faster processing capabilities. The CNC foam cutting machines reduce the operation cost. The foam manufacturing machines can achieve maximum reduction in waste production while processing large-scale foam into smaller blocks. They are manufactured with high-quality parts offering long-lasting service life.
