With the launch of a new foam packaging cushion machine, the conveying systems need to be modified and re-designed, to take the customised fitted foam packaging cushion away from the production area.
The new machine creates a customised fitted foam packaging cushion, which is moulded into the exact shape and size of the product. The system automatically identifies the mould, draws the expanding foam-filled bag into the cavity and the foam takes the shape of the mould. The cushions are ejected automatically and can be used immediately or, transported to the nearest bay using a conveyor system.
The new technology will enable customers to reduce the cost of their packaging operation whilst also increasing their productivity.
