Cannon Viking’s PURFORM Technology Redefines Standards in PU Foam Block Manufacturing
A world pioneer in cutting-edge turnkey facilities for the manufacturing of polyurethane foam blocks, Cannon Viking presents its ground-breaking PURFORM and PURFORM Elite machines. Beginning on May 20, 2025, these next-generation technologies will be accessible worldwide, marking a revolutionary advancement in continuous slabstock production.
The PURFORM by Cannon is designed to optimize foam production processes by integrating a series of advanced technologies tailored to maximize yield and improve block quality. At the heart of this innovation lies a bespoke chemical metering system engineered to the unique properties of polyurethane raw materials, ensuring up to 3% improvement in chemical flow accuracy compared to market alternatives. This precision translates directly into consistent formulations and high-quality foam blocks. The system is complemented by a cutting-edge direct-drive mixer, which eliminates pulleys and belts, enhancing reliability and reducing maintenance while supporting a broader range of mixing speeds for specialty foams.
PURFORM also features an advanced chemical laydown system, optimizing material distribution across the production line, reducing waste by up to 2%, and improving foam consistency. The system can be customized with various laydown options, including the innovative LayDown Master, providing unmatched flexibility. Additionally, the modular design facilitates quick assembly and future upgrades, enabling producers to adapt swiftly to changing market demands.
Complementing these hardware advancements is the Omega 4.0 computer control platform, an industry-leading system offering real-time monitoring, intuitive graphical interfaces, and closed-loop process control. This ensures that producers maintain precision and efficiency across all production parameters, achieving foam yields exceeding 95% under ideal conditions.
The modular design of PURFORM by Cannon streamlines manufacturing and facilitates future upgrades, ensuring long-term adaptability for evolving production demands.
For producers seeking even greater performance and flexibility, Cannon Viking offers the PURFORM Elite. This high-pressure version incorporates all the innovations of the PURFORM machine, while introducing enhanced capabilities for high-volume and technical foam block production. The Elite model features advanced configurations for specialized and technical foam applications and an even more robust system for chemical metering and distribution.
According to Richard Doublet-Stewart, General Sales Manager at Cannon Viking, “The launch of PURFORM and PURFORM Elite by Cannon marks a transformative moment for polyurethane foam block production. By combining advanced technology with our deep understanding of customer needs, we are delivering solutions that redefine efficiency and quality standards in the industry.”
With a rich history dating back to 1956, Cannon Viking has continually pushed the boundaries of foam production technology. From the introduction of CarDio technology to the recent success of LayDown Master, the company remains at the forefront of innovation, offering solutions that empower producers worldwide.
