Flexible polyurethane foam is used in countless ways to cushion different types of furniture, including mattresses, couches, automobile interiors, packing, and carpet underlays. With such a wide range of applicability, this tiny invention plays a crucial role in the manufacturing process of cushioned commercial products.  Using the right equipment is essential to churn out the appropriate shape and size from the foam. With over 30 years of expertise in the PU foam sector, ASE is a leading manufacturer of PU foam cutting equipment. It is a one-stop destination for all your PU foam cutting tool requirements.

The vertical foam cutting machines provide a dependable and adaptable approach for PU foam cutting and are designed primarily for slicing large blocks of foam into smaller, more precise shapes, slices, or blocks. These machines are available in different models and ensure cutting accuracy of +/-2 mm.

How many types of vertical foam machines are available?

Flexible PU foams are vertically cut on both small-scale and large-scale basis. On a big scale, vertical foam cutting machines are used to slab stock whereas, on a smaller scale, the equipment is helpful for trimming blocks into consumer-desired products.

There are two different types of cutting equipment available for slab stock cutting: one has a blade that goes from floor to ceiling, cutting transversely through the foam, and the other has a blade that runs parallel to the ground.

In small-scale applications, vertical cutting machines can also be turned into angle-cutting devices. The blade can be angled from the above knife seat, allowing angular cuts for triangles, trapezoids, and other shapes.

Structure of Vertical Saw machine

Our heavy-duty vertical foam cutter includes a laminated wood table top to provide you with an even and flat surface for cutting. The side supports can be adjusted to fit your needs and aid in keeping the block from shifting. The bearing slides allow the table to move to make cutting and machine adjustment easier. Also, the moveable table structure makes heavier pieces simple to handle.

Our vertical foam cutting machine requires a minimum of 4.2 x 5.5 meters of area. It has to be manually controlled in order to move the foam through the blade. There are four wheels with balanced blades in the motorized slitting segment. The upper and lower band knife guiding system works in conjunction with the electric blade drive motor to guarantee flawless foam passage through the blades and smooth cutting. Additionally, the device contains an electric grinding attachment. Higher speed and fewer vibrations are guaranteed by its sturdy welded structure. This machine runs at 2.25 hp with a 415 V AC, 50Hz power supply.

What is the standard equipment used in Vertical Foam Cutting Machines?

Depending on the needs of the finished product, each vertical foam cutting machine is fitted with a variety of equipment. Among the standard equipment are:

  • Stainless Steel table top for free movement of P.U. Foam Blocks
  • Adjustable rest plate
  • Strong table frame on bearing slides for easy preparation.
  • Manual break for the table for fast stopping.
  • Slitting section for balanced blade-wheel.
  • Upper and lower band knife guidance.
  • Electric blade drive motor.
  • Motorized grinding attachment with adjustable cup stone.
