Novi, Michigan — After over a year of intensive development, Bäumer officially unveiled its TRIM premium vertical foam cutting machine — equipped with the brand-new Bäumer HMI — at Foam Expo North America in June 2025. This cutting-edge innovation marks a major milestone in foam processing technology, combining high-speed performance, space efficiency, and intelligent design.
Strong Reception at Foam Expo 2025
The debut at Foam Expo North America generated enthusiastic feedback from industry professionals.
“Our customers and visitors were impressed and particularly praised the modern design. The launch was a success — now we are looking forward to the future!” said Sascha Otten, Director Sales & Service at Bäumer.
The TRIM premium sets a new benchmark in vertical foam cutting, with a fully automatic operation and a maximum cutting speed of 60 m/min. Compared to its predecessor, it requires significantly less space, making it ideal for production environments where efficiency and footprint matter.
Key Features of TRIM Premium
-
Fully Automatic Operation – Designed for cutting, trimming, and dividing foam blocks with minimal operator intervention.
-
New Bäumer HMI Interface – User-friendly, modern control system with enhanced functionality for precision and efficiency.
-
High-Speed Cutting – Capable of up to 60 meters per minute, improving throughput in foam production lines.
-
Compact Footprint – Optimized layout reduces required installation space.
-
Multifunctional Knife Rotation – Pneumatic 90° knife rotation for precise cutting to length, trimming, and block division.
-
Flexible Integration – Operates independently or as part of a fully automated foam cutting line.
-
Synchronized Conveyor Belts – Dual adjustable belts ensure smooth and controlled block movement.
Engineering Innovation Behind the TRIM Premium
Philipp Bertelmann, Head of R&D and Product Innovation, explained the development challenge:
“The biggest challenge was integrating different machine types and features into a single modular platform. We standardized the drive and control technology while accommodating a wide variety of functions in limited space. Through a common parts strategy and assembly-friendly design, we reduced both the number of variants and production time significantly.”
This modular approach not only improves production efficiency but also enhances machine maintainability, reducing downtime for foam manufacturers.
A Critical Link in Foam Processing
Positioned between block storage and manufacturing, the TRIM premium serves as an essential link in the foam production process. Whether in stand-alone mode or as part of a cutting line, it delivers high-precision trimming and length cutting that meet the exacting standards of today’s foam industry.
