Because the inflatable pillow patterns feature channels which enable them to bend and/or curve around products or edges, they can accommodate smaller void-fill spaces.
The four film pattern types produced on the AirSpeed Axis system are: HLX Trio—with three cushions per row, this pattern is useful for smaller voids; HLX Small Cradle—smaller, quilted design cradles the product forming a protective cushion; HLX Large Cradle—larger, quilted design provides cradling for bigger items; HLX High Yield—two, larger connected pillows offer higher roll yield to fill bigger void spaces, and is useful for top filling a box.
The system is designed for high-volume distribution center operations and other locations that package products with varying height /weight profiles. Users can easily switch from one pillow pattern to another with a quick roll changeover.
Another advantage to the system’s flexibility is that users only need to be trained on one machine instead of multiple systems. When used across multiple lines, the maintenance process is also simplified.
