Pregis AIRSPEED 5000 - Operation

INTRODUCTION
PREGIS AIRSPEED 5000
AIR CUSHION MACHINE
Introduction
The Pregis AIRSPEED 5000 (Figure 1) produces
air-filled packing cushions in any quantity, as need-
ed. The ability to create packing cushions on
demand saves storage space and reduces packaging
material waste.
Packing cushions are created in strings of individ-
ual cushions. The string can be torn apart at perfo-
rations cut between each cushion. The perforation
repeats can be 6" or 8" on film webs 8.88" or
10.88". Cushions are created at a constant rate of
up to 75 feet per minute (fpm) of film feed. The
amount of cushions created per minute will vary
with the film cushion size.
Operation
Electrical shock or unexpected machine
movement can cause injury. DO NOT
operate machine with guards removed or
covers open.
For your safety, follow your company’s
lockout/tagout policy as required for each
task.
The film web is a continuous tube in which there are
pairs of cross seals, with a perforation placed between
them, spaced every four to eight inches. The cross
seals stop 0.56"-0.62" from one edge of the film. This
creates a gap or tube, in the film direction, along that
edge of the film.
