Air cushion system

What is an air cushion machine?

An air cushioning machine is a device that automatically fills flat rolls of film with air and seals them to produce air cushions in the shape of pillows or mats. These cushions serve as shock-absorbing filling material when shipping goods and reduce the need for stored finished cushions. Thanks to their compact design, the machines can be used directly at the packing station. This means that the exact amount of padding material required is always produced, saving storage space and costs.

Functionality

• Insert film: The flat films, which are supplied on rolls or in boxes, are inserted into the machine.
• Filling with air: The machine pumps air into the film in a targeted manner.
• Sealing: At the same time, weld seams are made at defined points to keep the air in the upholstery.
• Separate: Perforations make it easy to separate the individual pads so that they can be used without complications.

Advantages of an air cushion machine

• Production on demand: Upholstery material is only produced when needed, eliminating storage space for finished upholstery.
• Cost savings: The demand-oriented production and space-saving storage of the raw films can reduce material and storage costs.
• Efficiency at the packing station: The machines can be integrated directly into the packaging process and simplify it considerably.
• Flexibility: Both air cushions for cavities and mats for wrapping products can be produced without any problems.
• Resource-saving: The machines produce lightweight hollow cushions that use little material and are therefore an environmentally friendly packaging solution.
