New inflatable void-fill system produces protective cushioning at ‘rocket speed’

 

Sealed Air has announced the liftoff of its new Fill-Air Rocket inflatable void-fill system. Appropriately named, the Fill-Air Rocket, the system operates at a speed of 100 feet of film per minute and possesses a quick start feature that instantaneously begins producing bags. The instant start mechanism effectively triples bag production during the first 20 seconds of operation versus the Fill-Air Cyclone system and in some cases eliminates the need for void-fill accumulation.

Sealed Air touts that the system also incorporates a host of performance enhancing features that can add efficiency to customers’ packaging operations. Innovative cross seal identification sensors enable the Fill-Air Rocket system to stop and start automatically on a cross seal every time. This feature optimizes bag fill for consistent protective performance. An enhanced inflation nozzle makes it easier to load film, and an automated edge alignment system eliminates the need for manual adjustment. As a result, the system produces more consistent cushions throughout the production cycle. A new spring-loaded tension control keeps the appropriate amount of tension on the film to ensure even inflation throughout the roll.
Compatible with 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch film widths and lengths of 5 inches and 8 inches, the Fill-Air Rocket system is designed for use with Sealed Air’s Fill-Air Extreme and Fill-Air Extreme Efficiency inflatable void-fill film.
The Fill-Air Rocket system is rooted in Sealed Air’s SmartLife approach to sustainability, which considers environmental impact in view of the full life cycles of both the packaging materials and the products they protect. By enhancing fill consistency and seal quality, fewer bags are necessary to adequately protect products being shipped. Also, under an agreement with the Green Blue Coalition, Sealed Air can print the how2recycle.info URL on all its Fill-Air Extreme film products. This site directs customers to store locations in their area that will collect the film and send it to be recycled.

Did you know the difference in box strengths??

We fully recognize and applaud the packaging experts who can, without hesitation, give a 3 minute dissertation on the difference between ECT32 and 200Test. (Insert Applause Here) BUT for those of you, whose minds have already started to wander…we offer some easily digestible facts aimed to make you a more informed consumer of corrugated boxes.
First, the basics. 
ECT32 and 200Test are simply two different industry standard names, used to define the measurement of strength of a corrugated box.  Think of inches vs. centimeters or liters vs. ounces. Both define the same physical measurement; they are just stated differently based on the metric system they are relative to.
Second, what are we measuring?
The Edge Crush Test, or ECT, measures how many pounds per square inch (lbs/inch²) a single corrugated box can support without crushing. Whereas, the 200Test or Mullen Test, measures how many pounds per square inch (lbs/inch²) are required to rupture/burst the side of a box, taking into effect both internal and external pressures that the corrugated box will absorb.  Therefore, an ECT32 corrugated box can withstand up to 32lbs per square inch before it crushes. In comparison, a 200Test corrugated box requires a force of 200lbs per square inch to puncture the side.
That sounds like fun in the physics lab but what about buying boxes?
When making a decision regarding purchasing ECT32 or 200Test corrugated boxes,  the systems used to measure the strength of each box are most relative to how the boxes will be transported or used.  Since an ECT measurement is relative to a box’s ability to withstand “crushing” under a particular weight, or their stacking strength; you would think Edge Crust Test if your boxes are stacked on a pallet, stacked in the back of a truck, stacked in a distribution center, sitting in a storage facility and/or in transit.  Comparatively, 200Test measures the handling ability of a corrugated box. So you would think 200Test when your boxes are thrown around, dropped, shaken, squished and/or moving in transit.
And now for the surprise inside! 
Now, before you go putting down your pencils to call your Wrap-N-Pack salesperson, there is one measurement left to discuss: Gross Weight Capacity. The scientific truth is that whether stacked, thrown, pushed or crushed, both ECT32 and 200Test corrugated boxes will perform with near identical results in the field.  Surprised? The reason – both boxes are designed to support 65lbs of gross weight capacity. The proof – look at the certificate stamp of the next corrugated box you receive. Wrap-N-Pack boxes are always clearly marked with the appropriate gross weight capacity.
Decision Time
As we mentioned in the beginning of today’s discussion, we see our best customers as informed partners.  In fact, our success is built upon Wrap-N-Pack’s ability to service your informed decisions for guaranteed next day delivery.  We stock over 1,000 corrugated sizes, both ECT and Mullen Test styles to cater to your individual application. Hey, can someone get me the Edge Crush measurement on that?

Did you know about 3D Printing??

 

Did you know about this fascinating new technology that many are claiming will revolutionize our future??

3D printing or Additive manufacturing^[1] is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model. 3D printing is achieved using an additive process, where successive layers of material are laid down in different shapes.^[2] 3D printing is also considered distinct from traditional machining techniques, which mostly rely on the removal of material by methods such as cutting or drilling (subtractive processes).
A 3D printer is a limited type of industrial robot that is capable of carrying out an additive process under computer control.
While 3D printing technology has been around since the 1980s, it was not until the early 2010s that the printers became widely available commercially.^[3] The first working 3D printer was created in 1984 by Chuck Hull of 3D Systems Corp.^[4] Since the start of the 21st century there has been a large growth in the sales of these machines, and their price has dropped substantially.^[5] According to Wohlers Associates, a consultancy, the market for 3D printers and services was worth $2.2 billion worldwide in 2012, up 29% from 2011.^[6]
The 3D printing technology is used for both prototyping and distributed manufacturing with applications in architecture, construction (AEC), industrial design, automotive, aerospace, military, engineering, civil engineering, dental and medical industries, biotech (human tissue replacement), fashion, footwear, jewelry, eyewear, education, geographic information systems, food, and many other fields. One study has found^[7] that open source 3D printing could become a mass market item because domestic 3D printers can offset their capital costs by enabling consumers to avoid costs associated with purchasing common household objects.^[8]
