Air cushion

Effective. Flexible. Cost-conscious.

• Effective: Its strength and durability offer reliable protection for your products.

• Cuts costs: Saves storage expense plus the light weight keeps your shipping costs down.

• Flexible: Pick the machines and the films to meet your requirements.

• Easy: The rolls of film are light and easy to handle. The machines are easy to operate, fast and reliable.

• Environmental benefits: It‘s reusable and the film is recyclable.

• Versatile: Machines are compact and portable allowing them to integrate easily into your packaging area.

AIRplus^® from Storopack offers quality machines that create versatile air-filled film packing materials. AIRplus^® films combine reliable protection and multiple uses with cost-saving features for the ideal in-the-box packaging products. Their lightweight properties lower shipping costs, and because you’re creating the inflated packing materials on-demand they require minimal storage space and handling in your facility. By using AIRplus^®, your packaging will be consistent and controlled. You’ll appreciate the low labor requirements and ease of production as well as its clean, dust-free characteristics.

The film makes the difference.

AIRplus^® Void Film is created using a triple layer extruded film process to provide durability and reliability. The outer layer provides a non-slip surface to prevent movement in the box, the middle layer helps to hold the air and offers reinforced strength, and the inner layer provides special heat-sealing properties to prevent deflation.

The film types.

AIRplus^® Void Film serves as a fast and neat void-fill, a durable block and brace product, and a reliable cushioning material for light- to medium- weight objects.

AIRplus^® Cushion Film is an extremely versatile and durable packing product made with the same triple layer film process as Void Film air pillows. Each perforated section of AIRplus^® Cushion Film is divided into 16 air chambers making it flexible enough to wrap, bend and fold the film around products for multiple uses and optimum protection.

AIRplus^® BIO Film: The raw material is a biologically degradable plastic compound based on polylactic acid (PLA) with co-polyester. As with polyethylene based films, Storopack co-extrudes the polymer during processing to produce a three-layered structure. Compared with mono-extruded films, this reduces material consumption, the elasticity is increased and the low permeability ensures that the air fill does not shrink.

The composting ability of AIRplus^® Bio Film is certified according to the European standard EN 13432 and the American Norm ASTM D6400.

Fast, Efficient Production on demand.

Storopack AIRplus^® machines are fast, compact, portable and extremely easy to operate. All AIRplus^® models are completely programmable, offer quick and easy loading, and are among the most reliably built in the industry. With their small footprints and large production capacities they fit easily into any packaging environment — regardless of volumes. In addition, AIRplus^® offers optimum flexibility with multiple packaging options - you can interchange any of our AIRplus^® films on any AIRplus^® machine and adjust the amount of air in the film materials for different applications.

The machine types.

The AIRplus^® GTI produces air-filled packaging materials at the rate of 23 m/minute. The high speed of this machine combined with the flexibility to use multiple size air bags makes it an efficient and effective choice for start and stop operations. In combination with the Autofeed, this machine can be easily installed at any Speedline making storage container solutions a thing of the past.

AIRplus^® Mini is a smaller version of the AIRplus^® Excel. In addition to improved handling when changing film rolls, the Mini machine offers a technical innovation -- a complete heat-sealing unit with automatic calibration for sealing the air cushions. This compact and very quiet machine has a weight of only 9 kg and can be easily integrated into all packaging processes.

The AIRplus^® BagSeparator already divides the padding strips into sections of the desired length. The BagSeparator makes it possible to supply a sensor-controlled machine with up to 24 packaging stations with air cushions. The packers only have to separate individual air cushions in about five per cent of cases. In practical tests, up to ten cartons per minute were processed using this partial automation.

Integration of AIRplus systems in the packaging process. Fits perfectly.

We integrate our air cushion machine in your logistics. The AIRplus system is a sophisticated system that can be with the right accessories, such as pipes, blower or silos and on any number of integrated freight stations.

Storopack’s Systems Integration Department works closely with you to develop a plan that provides the most efficient methods to deliver and use your packing materials.

After a thorough analysis our engineers go to work to develop a proposal that effectively integrates the new machines into your existing facility or, if appropriate, a completely new layout of your packaging area.
