Airpad AP100 Air Cushion Machine
Machinery
Compact tabletop air cushion machine for decentralized packing stations. It processes 200 or 400 mm film at 10–16 m/min and supports PE, recycled or biodegradable film grades specified for the machine. The small footprint permits stand-alone or multiple-operator layouts. Optional accessories include a mobile bin, overhead hopper, compact stand and floor winder. Film selection and accessory compatibility should be confirmed for the packing station.
