The foam coatings we frequently apply to timing belts have enabled us to develop a variety of components tailored for use in the automatic machinery sector. These include product blocking supports and pushers used along conveyor lines. Thanks to their flexibility, these components can adapt precisely to the shape of the product without causing any damage.

The materials we most often choose for these solutions are polyurethane foams, particularly Sylomer, which is available in a wide range of densities, colours, and thicknesses to ensure optimal performance for each specific application.

Machining of Foams

Our commitment to achieving flawless foam machining has driven us to invest in advanced technologies that enable us to design components rapidly and, most importantly, manufacture them to extremely high-quality standards.

A state-of-the-art milling machine, equipped with a dedicated set of tools, allows us to process all types of foam. Thanks to its granite base and high-speed spindle (40,000 rpm), we are able to machine even low-density materials like yellow Sylomer (150 kg/m³) with maximum precision.

Foams Assembled with other Materials

Foams are highly flexible but tend to be less durable and provide less grip compared to denser materials. To enhance their performance, coatings can be applied to the manufactured components, utilizing materials such as rubber and silicone, as well as low-friction and anti-wear plastic fabrics.

Alongside polyurethane foams, we incorporate other materials like neoprene and foam rubber. Additionally, we can produce substrates from various materials—including aluminium, carbon fibre, steel, and stainless steel—to which these foams can be adhered. This type of product is most widely used in the following sectors: food, packaging, industrial automation, robotics, beverages, paper, textiles, non-woven fabrics, cosmetics etc.

1 – The highly deformable foam materials adapt perfectly to the irregular shape of the products

2 – Using a milling machine to carry out the machining work means pockets of different heights can be created

3 – Red Sylomer foam gasket, density 510 kg/m3

4 – Brown Sylomer gasket for extraction system used in the packaging sector

5 – Components made to drawing specifications for cable passage, used in the automatic machinery sector

6 – Blocking support, manufactured using blue Sylomer, density 220 kg/m3

7 – Yellow Sylomer plate with wear-resistant nylon fabric glued to aluminium sheet

8 – Timing belts with conical bush allow the position of the belts to be varied

9 – Blue Sylomer PU foam plate with adhesive base and white silicone spread on the rear

10 – Depending on the required performance, we can offer various types of motors and gear units

11 – Part for vacuum system made from brown Sylomer PU foam with density of 400 kg/m3

12 – Part in foam rubber shaped to drawing specifications and covered with wear-resistant nylon fabric
