Band saws for horizontal and vertical foam cutting
Band saws are mainly used for processing hard and heavy foam. With a band saw you can cut through almost any material, be it rigid polyurethane foam, PVC foams, PET, rubber, rubber compound, polystyrene, EPS, EPP, semi-rigid ester or phenolic foam.
For the perfect processing of any material, Bäumer offers a wide range of band saws that differ in the following aspects:
- Thickness and width of the saw blade
- Number of teeth per inch
- Setting of the teeth
The coarser the saw blade, the more aggressive the cut. The more teeth per inch, the finer the cut.
The saw must run at a very high circulation speed to ensure an effective cut. When materials with a low melting point are processed, the circulation speed may need to be throttled and adapted to the material. Therefore, when buying your band saw machine, make sure that the circulation speed can be controlled.
Band saws can also be used on vertical cutting machines. In exceptional cases, when processing very light materials such as vinyl foam or light mineral wool, double-sided band saws can be used, as this halves the cutting time. Our vertical cutting machines IS-M and IS-L can be optionally equipped so that band saws can be used as cutting tools.
