PUSMAK PTM pneumatic foam shaving machine for sale to contractors in Saudi Arabia

If you are looking for a pneumatic foam shaving machine to remove the excess left by polyurethane spraying, the PUSMAK PTM is designed for thermal insulation contractors who need to trim surfaces and prepare them before finishing work.

The machine runs on compressed air instead of an electric motor, which makes it worth considering on sites with a suitable air compressor.

Contractors and insulation companies in Saudi Arabia can contact Trusted Line to ask about supplying the machine and its accessories.

The PUSMAK PTM pneumatic foam shaving machine and its features

The PTM is used to trim cured polyurethane foam and level high spots after spraying, especially on walls and ceilings that need a set level before finishing materials go on.

Key features

  • Runs on compressed air.

  • A 38 cm cutting width.

  • A 20 mm cutting depth according to the manufacturer's specifications.

  • A weight of 4.5 kg.

  • A no-load speed of 400 to 2,600 rpm.

  • A design suited to levelling foam surfaces.

Why do insulation companies need a foam trimming machine?

Spraying polyurethane can leave an uneven insulation surface because of how the material expands, the shape of the surface or the application method.

On some projects, high spots must be removed to reach the required level before walls are closed or finishing boards are installed.

Levelling equipment helps to:

  1. Remove excess foam once it has cured.

  2. Prepare surfaces for finishing work.

  3. Rely less on hand cutting over large areas.

  4. Make it easier to treat areas that need a flat surface.

  5. Support contracting teams that specialise in interior insulation.

Never remove more thickness than the insulation design allows.

Uses of the PUSMAK PTM on contracting projects

Interior wall insulation

The machine can remove excess foam between wall members before the right finishing materials are installed.

Levelling ceiling insulation

Some ceiling insulation applications need the polyurethane layer trimmed to a suitable level for the next stages of work.

Warehouses and industrial facilities

Insulation companies benefit from trimming equipment when the project specification includes levelling the sprayed surfaces.

Correcting insulation layers

Local excess can be removed once the material has fully cured, provided the required thickness and the integrity of the system are not affected.

PTM (pneumatic) vs. ETM (electric)

PUSMAK offers two options for levelling polyurethane foam.

If the site has a suitable air compressor, the PTM may be the right choice. If electric power suits the site better, consider the ETM.

To compare the two, visit PUSMAK's spray foam equipment and trimming tools section.

Is the PTM suitable for new insulation companies?

It can be a useful addition for companies that offer foam spraying and finishing of insulation surfaces.

But it does not replace a polyurethane spray machine: it is for trimming material after it has been applied.

To set up a complete insulation business, a company may need a spray machine and its accessories, protective equipment and finishing tools, depending on the type of projects.
