Everything You Need to Know About Circular Cutting Machines
Circular Cutting Machines play a key role in the production of PU foam sheets. Known for their accuracy, speed, and consistency, these machines are important for industries where precise foam sheet thickness and surface finish are important. At A S Entterprises (ASE), we take pride in having developed and introduced India’s first commercially viable Circular Cutting Machine, designed to meet both local manufacturing needs and international quality standards.
With decades of experience in PU foam machinery, ASE has consistently delivered robust and reliable machines that support high-volume production without compromising on precision.
What Is a Circular Cutting Machine?
The Foam Circular Cutting Machine, also known as the Carousel Cutting Machine, is engineered to slice large foam blocks into thin sheets with precision using a rotating blade. In this setup, the cutting head stays fixed while foam blocks are placed on a rotating carousel table. As the table rotates, it brings the foam blocks into contact with the cutting head, where engineering precision ensures uniform thickness and smooth finishes through accurate alignment and consistent motion.
ASE’s Circular Cutting Machines are known for delivering:
- Uniform Sheet Thickness: Helps maintain consistency across batches.
- Reduced Material Waste: Accurate cutting helps optimise the use of raw materials.
- Increased Processing Speed: Suitable for bulk foam conversion with minimal downtime.
The result is a streamlined process that supports efficient foam handling and meets industry-specific standards.

The CCM66S+ is ideal for industries where fine-tuned dimensions, minimal rework, and consistent sheet quality are required across shifts.
Circular Cutting Machine (Model CCMS33)
CCMS33 is ASE’s flagship model, but more advanced with conveyorised loading and unloading for uninterrupted cutting. Developed to meet the needs of large-scale PU foam production, this model integrates automation across material handling, cutting, and unloading.
Features:
- Conveyorised loading and unloading systems allow uninterrupted cutting, reducing operator fatigue and improving productivity.
- Capable of processing a wide range of foam densities and grades, including high-resilience and technical foams used in specialised applications.
This model is particularly well-suited for large-scale manufacturers looking to standardize quality while reducing manual handling and cycle time.
Choosing the Right Circular Cutting Machine for Your Needs
When selecting a Carousel foam cutting machine, several factors need to be considered:
- Daily Output Requirements: It is about the scale of production you are aiming for as higher output demands call for faster, more robust machines with automated features. For comparably low volumes, entry level models offer reliable and precise cutting without the need for full automation.
- Available Space and Budget: One of the basic question you need to ask from yourself because every facility has unique layout constraints and financial considerations. That’s why we offer a range of circular cutting machine models with varying footprints, feature sets, and automation levels. Whether you’re setting up a compact unit or planning a large-scale operation, there’s a suitable configuration that fits both your available floor space and budget. This flexibility helps you make an informed decision without compromising on performance or long-term value.
- Foam Block Type: The type of foam you work with plays a critical role in selecting the right cutting machine according to your application. ASE offers models specifically engineered for different material characteristics—some are ideal for flexible PU foam used in mattresses and cushions, while others are designed to also handle rigid or specialty high-density. Choosing a machine that matches your material type ensures smoother cuts, and consistently high-quality output. It also reduces wear and tear on the machine, maximizing efficiency and return on investment.
- Manual vs. Automated Operation: The choice depends on your production scale and workflow preferences. For smaller setups, manual models provide reliable performance with lower investment. For high-output environments, automated machines like the CCMS33 ensure greater efficiency, reduced handling time, and uninterrupted processing.
ASE follows a consultative approach, helping customers evaluate their production needs and guiding them toward the most suitable round foam cutting machine model.
