Are You Facing Any of These Challenges?
PU Foam Production Solutions
Daily foam demand is an important reference when selecting a foaming method. Order stability, target foam products, product changeover frequency, project budget, factory conditions, and future expansion plans must also be considered.
If low-density foam dominates the local market and demand is relatively stable, a continuous foaming line should be evaluated first. Continuous production generally offers better material utilization and cost control for low-density foam.
Flexible Batch Foaming Solution
1–3 Tonnes per Day | 40–120 m³ per Day
Use a batch foaming process. The specific foaming equipment should be selected according to the project budget, automation requirements, target foam products, and on-site production conditions.
The core configuration consists of foaming equipment, a vertical foam cutting machine, and a horizontal foam cutting machine. A circular foam cutting machine, foam slitting machine, CNC contour cutting machine, foam profiling machine, and other equipment can be added according to the required foam specifications and mattress products.
Foam shredding and rebonded foam production equipment can be added according to the actual scrap volume, available external scrap sources, and intended products.
Approximately 150–500 m² of factory space and 10–20 metres of straight-line production space.
Suitable for mattress factories with a relatively limited project budget or factory space, those beginning in-house foam production, those with smaller or fluctuating order volumes, and those requiring frequent foam product changeovers.
Continuous High-Volume Foaming Solution
5–15+ Tonnes per Day | 200–600+ m³ per Day
Use a continuous foaming line supported by suitable foam curing, handling, and turnover conditions.
The core configuration consists of a continuous foaming line, a vertical foam cutting machine, and a horizontal foam cutting machine. A circular foam cutting machine is recommended. A track-type horizontal foam cutting machine, CNC contour cutting machine, foam profiling machine, and other equipment can be added according to product specifications and cutting requirements.
Foam shredding and rebonded foam production equipment can be added according to the actual scrap volume, available external scrap sources, and intended products.
Approximately 1,000–3,000+ m² of factory space and 50–100+ metres of straight-line production space.
Suitable for mattress factories with stable orders, sustained foam demand, adequate investment and factory conditions, and a focus on long-term production consistency, material utilization, and high-volume production efficiency.
How Should a Factory Choose When Daily Foam Demand Is 3–5 Tonnes?
The foaming method for this output range should not be determined by volume alone.
A batch foaming solution can still be considered if orders fluctuate, products change frequently, or the project has relatively limited budget and factory space.
A continuous foaming line should be evaluated first if orders and foam demand are stable, low-density foam represents a large proportion of production, or there is a clear future expansion plan.

Russia | New Foam Factory in Production
Expanding from Furniture Hardware into Flexible PU Foam Production
The customer originally manufactured furniture hardware and had long served local furniture factories. The new project was developed to produce conventional furniture foam, mattress foam, and mattress-related products while establishing foaming, cutting, and compression roll-packing capabilities.
Although the customer had manufacturing experience, it lacked mature flexible PU foam production experience. The project therefore needed to address foaming equipment, downstream cutting, raw material preparation, process and formulation support, and production start-up.
The project configuration included a 14-component Continuous Foaming Line, a Circular Foam Cutting Machine, a CNC Foam Cutting Machine, and an Automatic Mattress Compression Roll-Packing Machine. Sabtech also supplied foam raw materials, PE film, and PE-coated kraft paper and sent engineers to Russia for installation, commissioning, and training.
The project entered production in late July 2026, establishing production capabilities for conventional flexible PU foam, foam cutting, and compression roll packing of mattress-related products.

We believe that it is foolish to sell any fixed type of machinery. Machinery should be upgraded according to different production scenarios to maximize efficiency.

When Should a Mattress Factory Consider Producing Foam In-House?
A mattress factory can evaluate in-house foam production when it has relatively stable foam demand or wants to reduce exposure to purchase-price and delivery risks, improve control over foam specifications and quality, develop customized mattress products, or sell foam to external customers.
The factory should also compare the total cost of long-term external purchasing with in-house production and assess whether sufficient capital, space, raw material supply, personnel, and production management capabilities are available.

What Is the Difference Between a Batch Foam Machine and a Continuous Foaming Line, and How Should a Factory Choose?
A Batch Foam Machine produces one foam block per batch. Its reference output is 1–3 tonnes per day, or approximately 40–120 m³, and it normally requires 3–6 operators. It requires less equipment investment and factory space and offers flexible product changeovers. However, production results depend more heavily on operator experience, while batch variation, trimming losses, and trial-foaming losses are generally more noticeable.
A Continuous Foaming Line has a reference output of 5–15+ tonnes per day, or approximately 200–600+ m³, and normally requires 5–10 operators. It requires greater investment and factory space but offers a higher level of automation and production standardization, with advantages in continuous production stability, material utilization, and low-density foam cost control.
When daily demand is 3–5 tonnes, the decision should consider order stability, product changeover frequency, the proportion of low-density foam, factory conditions, budget, and future expansion plans.

What Foam Densities, Hardness Levels, and Colors Can Be Produced on the Same Foaming Equipment?
Within the component configuration and metering range of the equipment, the same foaming system can produce conventional mattress foam in different densities, hardness levels, and colors by adjusting raw materials, formulations, and process parameters.
For example, a nine-component continuous foaming configuration has a reference density range of 8–80 kg/m³ for conventional flexible PU foam. Special products such as high-resilience foam and memory foam require corresponding raw material components.
Density and hardness are different performance indicators, while the number of available colors depends on the color-component configuration.

How Much Factory Space Is Required for a New Foam Production Project?
A batch foaming project generally requires approximately 150–500 m² of factory space and 10–20 metres of straight-line production space.
A continuous foaming project generally requires approximately 1,000–3,000+ m² of factory space and 50–100+ metres of straight-line production space.
These figures are preliminary estimates for the overall project and already account for raw material storage, foaming, curing, cutting, handling, and turnover areas. The actual requirement must be calculated according to the equipment configuration, factory structure, and production arrangement.

How Can Foam Cutting Scrap Be Utilized, and When Is Rebonded Foam Production Suitable?
Relatively clean flexible PU foam scrap can be sorted and shredded for rebonded foam production or used as filling material, depending on the intended application.
Whether to add rebonded foam equipment should be determined according to the factory’s actual scrap volume, available external scrap sources, target products, factory conditions, and sales channels.
