Storopack has enhanced the operating speed of its new PAPERplus Chevron2 machine generation by 50%, with a speed of over 30m/min enabling faster filling of paper padding into packages.
The protective packaging specialist company’s new machine unfolds a paper tube and processes the material into a flexible paper padding and packing filler.
The patented product fills more volume using less material, and the company says the “polished and sophisticated aesthetics” of the finished protective packaging has created particular interest from the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry. The system can also be used with white kraft paper.
According to Storopack product manager Paul Deis, PAPERplus Chevron has a unique position in the market for protective packaging made from paper. “The Chevron concept is an innovation and to this day it does not have a successor,” he says.
“The new machine generation once again brings two dimensions to the fore. Higher speed ensures higher productivity and the additional mode for reduced material consumption, when less cushioning performance is required, reduces the risk of oversupply and over packaging.”
For top-fill applications (‘in the box’) containing light products such as medicines, where greater cushioning performance may not be necessary, PAPERplus Chevron2 has an additional setting, which simultaneously reduces paper consumption during operation, specifically for this purpose.
Available as a table-top model or on a movable metal stand, PAPERplus Chevron2 offers a variety of options for integration into the packaging station and the packaging process.
In a standard packaging system, the paper pads are made available in plastic pipes at an ergonomic working height for clasping. Using a conveyor system, the machine can supply paper padding to several packaging stations. The padding strip is automatically divided into sections.
