Air Cushion Reducing Machine / Part Number M4204AB-3441R

The air cushioning volume reduction machine is the world's first device for reducing the volume of bubble cushioning materials, commonly known as bubble wrap or air caps.

In recent years, as part of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) "Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production," there has been an increasing movement to recycle and reuse bubble wrap, which has traditionally been mostly incinerated. However, since bubble wrap is largely composed of air, it has a large volume relative to the amount (weight) of material, leading to high transportation and storage costs. It seems that without reducing its volume, there are cases where waste disposal companies may refuse to accept it. In conclusion, volume reduction is essential for the recycling of bubble wrap, but there have been no suitable devices for this purpose in the market until now. Many businesses have attempted to develop their own solutions but have not achieved satisfactory results. Amidst this situation, the Air Cushion Volume Reduction Machine has been developed as a device for reducing the volume of bubble wrap, and it is expected to become an essential product for the recycling of bubble wrap as the world's first product in this new category.

basic information

■Main Features (1) Usable in a narrow space equivalent to two A3 sheets of copy paper Power supply: Single-phase AC100V, 50/60Hz, 1.6A, approximately 160VA Dimensions: Width 420mm × Depth 360mm × Height 535mm Weight: Approximately 17kg It is energy-efficient and space-saving. If there is an AC100V outlet, it can be easily installed in a narrow space of about two A3 sheets of copy paper. However, please use it in a clean environment free from liquids such as water or oil, and dust or powder such as soil or metal. (2) Rebound-less due to "multi-layer processing" and "burr bonding" "Multi-layer processing" involves stacking or rolling bubble cushioning material to create multiple layers, which are then collectively reduced in volume. "Burr bonding" connects the bubble cushioning materials through the entanglement of burrs between layers, suppressing rebound (volume restoration) to the pre-compressed shape. This device achieves high volume reduction effects despite its compact size due to the functions of "multi-layer processing" and "burr bonding." (Patent No. 7023652) However, depending on the material and structure of the bubble cushioning material, the effect of "burr bonding" may not be achieved.
