Albrecht Bäumer Highlights Foam Processing Solutions :According to news published by “Dr. Gupta Verlag” website, new hopes have been created for new solutions for processing of foam and flexible materials.
The Split-H Endless 500 splitting machine
The Split-H Endless 500 – the successor to the BSR-1 – allows high precision in splitting sheets and flexible block materials with densities of up to 450 kg/m3, depending on the material and cutting thickness. It is said to be an ideal splitting machine for the packaging and automotive industries, as well as other technical applications. According to the manufacturer, the machine offers new advantages, such as versatility in use, greater cutting accuracy, very clean cutting surfaces, less waste, and shorter cycle times.
In addition, the machine can now split significantly harder materials with high densities and hardness levels of over 40 Shore A. It can split a wide variety of materials such as polyurethane and PU rebond, polyethylene (PE, XPE), cellular rubber, Basotect, Baynat, rubber and rubber rebond, cork, foam rubber, neoprene and comparable materials, reticulated foams, EVA and latex. Particularly with PE, the company says it was able to split densities of over 100 kg/m³ in the course of comprehensive tests.
With respect to ever-growing demands concerning the materials to be split, a new knife guide system was developed in cooperation with major PE producers and manufacturers. The result is a knife bar with a new geometrical shape, which combines the properties of greater stability but also reduced friction with an exact cutting guide, says Albrecht Bäumer.
The more stable suspension of the press roller and the resulting rigidity of the guide, as well as the significantly more stable press roller with an increased diameter, result in very good cutting tolerances. The more sturdy material support bench also has a supporting effect. The optimised bench width and a new vacuum system that provides 40 % more power underline the convincing cutting result. The foam block does not lift, and the cut is guided precisely.
Improved knife technology for more power and accuracy
Compared to its predecessor, the knife tension of the Split-H Endless 500 has been increased, thus offering greater resistance to the cutting forces. The knife glides more firmly and more cleanly through the material. Even with very abrasive materials and materials with high compression hardness, e.g., rubber rebond materials, maximum cutting quality and limit of accuracy are achieved, says Albrecht Bäumer.

About Albrecht Bäumer
The Albrecht Bäumer GmbH & Co. KG has been a leading manufacturer of machines and plants for the foaming industry for nearly 70 years. The main focus of the company is on special machinery for the cutting, converting and transport of polyurethane foams and similar materials. We, as a medium-sized company, have been able to evolve from a pioneer to the world market leader in this field.
There are own sales and service offices in the USA, in Japan and China as well as a knife production as joint venture in South Africa.
A factor of Bäumer’s success is to be found in the vocational education and training; approximately 10% of the staff are apprentices and trainees.
The average turnover of the last years was approximately 45 million Euro, of which 85% were generated by export business.
The company is currently lead by Jan Henrik Leisse and Nina Patisson in the fourth generation.
Founded in 1946 and since then….
