Flexible polyurethane foam is a widely used material in home furnishings such as furniture, bedding, and carpet underlayment. It serves as a cushioning material for upholstered furniture, making it more durable, and supportive. To churn out the desired product from PU foams, it needs to be moulded into various shapes and sizes. The cutting of PU foams can be gruelling at times and should be achieved using highly efficient equipment to create appropriate and desirable results.

Rendering a reliable and adaptable method for PU foam cutting, the vertical foam cutting machines are intended specifically for cutting huge chunks of foam blocks into small, desired forms, slices, or blocks.

 What are the uses of Vertical Foam Cutting Machines?

Vertical Foam Cutting of flexible PU foams occurs on both small-scale and large-scale. On a large scale, the vertical foam cutting machines are used to cut slabstock whereas, on a smaller scale the machine is useful in carrying out the trimming of blocks into consumer-desired products.

What kind of vertical foam cutters are used in small scale and large scale cutting of PU foam?

For the cutting of slabstock, the cutting machine comes in two types, one with a blade that runs from floor to ceiling, creating transverse cuts through the foam, and another with a blade that runs parallel to the ground.
Vertical cutting machines may also be converted to angle-cutting machines when used on a smaller scale. The blade can be angled from the above knife seat, allowing angular cuts for triangles, trapezoids, and other shapes. However, when choosing a foam cutter, the thickness of the foam and the desired products are the two most significant factors to consider.

What are the different types of vertical foam cutting machine available on AS Enterprises?

There are several types of vertical saw machines available on AS Enterprises:

  • Basic Vertical Cutting Machine (V4B Model): The V4B model weighs approximately 1200 kg and requires 2.25 hp of power to run. It uses a laminated table top.
  • Standard Vertical Cutting Machine (V4 Model): The V4 model is somewhat similar to the V4B model but it uses an aluminium table top for free movement of P.U. foam blocks.
  • Lab Vertical Cutting Machine (V-Lab Model): The V-lab model is a small size cutting machine that is particularly used for the purpose of cutting foam samples for testing. It is a lightweight model that requires only 1 hp of power to run.
  • Big Vertical Cutting Machine (V5 Model): The V5 model weighs 1600 kg and requires 3.25 hp of power to run. It yields 1550 mm long and 2200 mm wide blocks.
  • Automatic Vertical Cutting Machine (VA Model): The VA model is the automatic version of V5 model.

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

Every vertical foam cutting machine is installed with various types of equipment, depending on the requirements of the end product. Some of the common equipments are:

  • 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 table for fast stopping.
  • Slitting section for balanced blade-wheel.
  • Upper and lower band knife guidance.
  • Electric bland drive motor.
  • Electric grinding attachment.
