C616 Foam Splitting Machine Adds 1200 mm Deep Splitting for High-Output Foam Plants

Qingdao, China — Xinmeiteng has extended its foam block range with the C616 foam splitting machine, a heavy-frame unit that takes blocks up to 3500 x 2100 x 1250 mm and splits them to slab thicknesses from 6 mm to 1200 mm in a single pass. The machine runs an 11 kW motor with a 0-60 m/min feed and weighs 3.5 tonnes.

Thin sheet work and deep block work put different demands on a splitting machine. At 100 mm the blade meets limited resistance and the frame barely notices. At 1200 mm the blade has to displace a much larger volume of foam, the feed has to move far more mass, and the frame has a longer lever to resist. A machine sized for sheet work will struggle at the top of that range even if the motor looks adequate on paper.

The C616 is built around the deep end of the range. Frame mass resists deflection so the blade stays on line at full depth, and motor reserve keeps the feed at the set speed instead of slowing halfway through the block.

A thick block that has to be split in stages carries a second set-up, and the second set-up is where thickness variation enters. Each re-clamping step is another chance for the block to sit at a slightly different angle. Taking the full 1200 mm depth in one pass removes that step and keeps the slab dimension consistent from one block to the next.

Block capacity supports the same idea. With a 3500 x 2100 x 1250 mm maximum cutting size, large blocks come straight onto the table without a pre-cutting operation, which is the step most plants add when a machine is too small for the block they produce.

A splitting machine in a foam plant runs all shift on the same setting. The failure that costs most is not a breakdown but a slow drift, a slab that gains a millimetre over a few hundred blocks. A 3.5 tonne frame is the mechanical answer: it holds the blade guide and the feed table in the same relationship from the first block to the last, and it damps vibration before it marks the slab.

The 11 kW drive plays the same role for the feed. When the blade meets a denser section of foam, a motor without reserve slows, and a slower feed changes the cut. Reserve keeps the feed rate at the set value so the slab stays inside tolerance.

• Mattress foam blocks split into working slabs;
• Furniture foam sections reduced to build sizes;
• PU slab stock cut to standard thickness;
• Latex foam blocks split for mattress cores;
• Rebond foam blocks cut to usable sections;
• Contract splitting with mixed thickness runs.

PU, latex and rebond foam cut differently at the same thickness. A fixed feed speed forces the operator to accept whatever the machine does in each material. The 0-60 m/min range lets the feed be matched to the density, so the same machine handles a soft latex block and a dense rebond block without changing the blade or the setup.

The daily routine is short: inspect the blade for straightness, check the guides for wear, and confirm the guard covers the full cut depth. Weekly checks cover guide alignment and table level across the block width, because a table that has moved shows up as a slab that is thicker at one edge. Frame mounts and the feed drive are checked monthly, with the motor current compared against the commissioning record to catch a worn blade or a binding guide early.

The C616 is CE certified for export and available now, with delivery at 45 working days after downpayment. The machine ships in a reinforced export crate sized to the 5000 x 3600 x 2700 mm envelope, with the blade specification, alignment checklist and a commissioning guide included. Remote support is available during installation.
