Platform

The Fuzora platform in detail

Line comparison, technical data, the machine itself, the value for your plant and the two business models.

Line comparison

Four machines become one

The Fuzora platform does not add a step to the line. It replaces adhesive application, activation, pressing and trimming with one machine and removes the drying stage altogether.

Technical data

Working area
1 × 2 m2 × 2 m for double mattresses in development
Cycle time
up to 30 sup to 60 mattresses per hour
Rated connected power*
16 / 29 kWat 1 m / 2 m width

* Rated connected power is the power the electrical supply must be able to deliver. It is not actual consumption. Heat is applied only to a thin surface layer and only during the joining cycle, so actual consumption is lower and depends on the foam type, its thickness and the cycle rate.

** For foam types already known to the platform.

Technical data are design values for the current generation of the platform.

The machine

A machine built for the factory floor

The platform is a single self-contained machine: a bed for the workpiece and a joining unit above it. Settings that stay the same through a production run are mechanical. Everything that changes with the product is controlled in software.

Overall dimensions
5.2 × 1.5 × 2 mThe whole joining process on a footprint of about 8 m².
Bed
up to 200 × 100 cmThe bed runs on guides and extends out of the machine for loading.
Width alignment
mechanicalMechanical end stops: simple, repeatable and independent of the controls.
Length alignment

Joining height
2–50 cmSet in software, so different products need no tool changes.
Top layer

Savings

About EUR 246,000 saved per line, every year

Calculated for one line on one shift: 420 mattresses a day, or 96,600 a year. Labour is costed at Slovenian wage rates.

Annual value to the customer, EUR thousand
  • Adhesive eliminated 149
  • Direct labour (2 operators) 36
  • Floor space released (~300 m²) 24
  • Pallet handling 18
  • Line energy 12
  • Cleaning and discarded adhesive 7
  • Total~246

Savings on labour, space and handling grow with local wage levels. At German rates labour comes to about EUR 76,000 and the total saving to about EUR 286,000 a year. The platform also costs less than the line it replaces.

Business models

Buy the platform, or pay from the savings

Model 1

Purchase

You buy the platform and own it. Because it costs less than a conventional adhesive line, for any plant facing a line replacement it is the cheaper of the two options, and it removes the adhesive as well.

  • Ownership from day one
  • The full saving stays with you
  • Maintenance contract available after the first warranty year
