Sealed Air’s new Fill-Air Quick Shot packaging system has been ergonomically designed to create a higher volume of void-fill packaging at a quicker speed, while requiring less input from operators.
Easily integrating into packaging lines and fully compatible with Sealed Air’s Fill-Air 2000 and Cyclone systems, the Quick Shot system can deliver up to 120 metres of Sealed Air’s Fill-Air cushions per minute and feed them directly into boxes on packaging lines.
Using the system’s unique, ergonomically designed ‘tug’ feature, operators can select the required amount of air cushions necessary for their packaging needs by simply tearing the desired quantity from the chain of bags.
The operator’s tug is registered by the machine, which automatically replenishes the supply of bags ready for the next box, enabling operators to keep close control over the amount of packaging material used and quickly move onto the next carton, minimising wasted material, time and effort.
Andy Robinson, product manager at Sealed Air Europe, says: “We understand that our customers require solutions that are both efficient and effective. Quick Shot meets these requirements by delivering increased outputs and productivity, while improving operator comfort.”
Quick Shot can dispense void-fill bags ranging from 200mm wide to 350mm wide. It has been designed specifically for use in high-output packaging operations and is ideal for streamlining online or mail order pick-and-pack operations.
The system features a minimal footprint, which allows it to take up the least amount of valuable floor space, while providing a truly integrated packaging line solution.
Offering further flexibility and enhanced performance, a new film developed specifically for Quick Shot reduces the effort required to separate bags from the chain by 50%.
