Foam-in-place void fill system also produces variegated foam cushions

摘要

A software upgrade enables the SmartBagger foam-in-place system to also produce variegated foam SmartTrax cushions, eliminating an investment in secondary protective systems for void fill and bottom padding requirements. A series of foam-filled cylinders can be used to create bottom pads to help cushion heavy objects. They can also be used as end-caps and corner protection to wrap products or fill awkward voids. The system easily converts from bag to cushion mode on a touchscreen. Operators have the option of working in on-demand mode or premaking a specific quantity in advance to meet production requirements. Other features include a telemetry function that triggers daily diagnostic testing, and programming with bar code data for each specific product that enters the pack station.
