Cutting Machines 101 with Alber Bandknives Germany

Cutting polyurethane foam is a topic we’ve discussed before, and conversion—the process of cutting foam into shapes—is an integral sector of the polyurethane foaming industry. We know this because cutting machines often make up over 75% of Sunkist’s yearly sales. Many of our most loyal customers started as simple conversion plants with just two or three types of cutting machines.

Because they are so commonplace, cutting machines are often overlooked. They do not require the chemical expertise of continuous foaming, but they are still a school of knowledge unto themselves.
