Foam manufacturing inevitably generates scrap — edge trims, off-cuts, rejected buns, and production waste. For many factories, this scrap ends up in landfills, representing lost material value and increasing disposal costs.
With the right recycling equipment from Infinity Foam Machinery, you can transform that waste into valuable rebonded foam — used for carpet underlay, gym mats, packaging, and more. The combination of a foam crusher and a rebonding machine creates a complete foam recycling line that pays for itself.
Foam recycling in a foam or mattress factory follows three simple steps: crush, mix, and rebond. First, foam scrap is fed into a crushing machine that breaks it down into small granules. The granules are then mixed with adhesive binder in a rebonding machine. Finally, the mixture is compressed in a mold under hydraulic pressure with steam to form solid rebonded foam blocks.
The resulting rebonded foam can be cut into sheets and used for a wide range of applications, from carpet underlay and gym flooring to packaging inserts and automotive insulation.
Foam scrap is crushed into uniform granules using stationary and rotary cutting blades.
Crushed granules are mixed with adhesive and loaded into a mold under hydraulic pressure.
Steam accelerates the curing process, producing solid rebonded foam blocks ready for cutting.
Rebonded foam blocks are sliced into sheets for carpet underlay, gym mats, and packaging.
The IF-FFS3 Crushing Foam Machine is designed to break down foam scrap, cloth waste, and thrum into uniform granules. It features imported cutting tools, 4 lines of stationary cutters, and 3 lines of rotary cutters for powerful, efficient crushing.
The IF-FZS1/2 Re-Bonding Foam Machine takes crushed foam granules mixed with glue, presses them in a mold using a hydraulic system, and uses steam to accelerate the curing process. The result is high-quality rebonded foam of the desired density.
Rebonded foam is the standard material for carpet padding and underlayment
Durable, high-density foam mats for fitness and sports flooring
Protective foam inserts and cushioning for industrial packaging
Sound insulation and acoustic foam for studios and buildings
