PadPak Multi-Station

The custom packaging material delivery solution

Space comes at a premium within many busy packaging environments. The PadPak® Multi-Station solution allows a single central converter to supply a steady stream of paper cushioning pads to each packing station along a line, supporting continuous automated pad distribution. The system addresses the challenges created by a lack of space, including higher labor and fixed costs, wasted time spent walking around a packing area, and the risk of repeated injuries from cramped working conditions.

Upgrade the productivity of your packing teams

PadPak® Multi-Station delivers cushioning pads with exceptional efficiency for the packer, eliminating multiple converters, and providing immediate business benefits to help future-proof your operation.

An automated line allows a single central converter to supply pads to every packing station continuously. The system lets you build a custom line that meets your own packing layout and needs – automating pad distribution for four to ten stations. The result is improved productivity, as well as an environment that protects operators’ well-being. Lines can adapt during seasonal peaks and quieter periods, or even be customized to meet specific customer requests.

With no more manual pad distribution and fewer ‘touchpoints,’ you’ll see a transformed packing operation with flexibility that your business has never experienced before.

Applications

PadPak Multi-Station increases the efficiency of the packing line and ensures the flexibility needed to respond to challenges around demand, staffing, and business expansion.

Benefits

Scalability

Start with the number of packing stations you need right now – the PadPak Multi-Station is modular so you can add new stations to scale for future growth.

Increased productivity

Cushioning pads go straight to the pack stations, which increases the boxes packed per hour per station.

Fewer converters

One converter provides pads directly to up to ten packing spaces, which means you can replace multiple converters. The pads are replenished automatically, without operator involvement.

Peak season options

You can change your configuration to suit increased or decreased staffing during peak season or quieter periods.

Flexible installation

Whether you have a long packing area or an ‘L’ shape, a gradient or a corner, PadPak Multi-Station adapts easily for optimum use of space.

Flexible bin positioning

Bin placement makes a big difference to ergonomics for operators. PadPak Multi-Station protects your teams, bringing cushioning pads directly to stations at eye level and boosting efficiency.

How it works

Integration

PadPak Multi-Station integrates easily into your space, with minimal disruption and modules that allow for change and growth. It is designed to function in line with our Cut’it! EVO or Cut’it! EVO Multi-Lid height reduction systems, creating more efficient end-of-line integrations.

Pad delivery

Cushioning pads are delivered by a single central converter to containers above the packing stations. The pads are moved along the line by ‘grippers’, before dropping automatically into their designated container.
