Process Improvements through Paper Packaging

Project Overview

When soliciting feedback from current paper protective packaging users, the main concern with the machine design was the lag time that occurred due to paper jams and roll changes. On earlier modeled machines, one typically has to remove covers or use tools in order to clear any paper jams, which can be a time-consuming process. The GeoSpeed Quantum was produced to be simple and safe to operate while also eliminating aggravating paper jams, therefore creating a more streamlined procedure.

Implementation

The GeoSpeed Quantum features a distinctive floating-head design which enables the fastest roll loading of any unit on the market.  Paper can be loaded in a matter of seconds and the system can be easily rotated. This machine, which delivers crumpled paper from rollstock at speeds of up to 150 inches per second, establishes a new standard in void-fill, block and brace packaging use.

In addition to Quantum’s favorable design, there are also environmental incentives. Two paper alternatives are offered – a standard kraft grade which a portion is made from recycled content, as well as GeoSpeed Renew, a 100% recycled paper option. Renew paper is softer on the hands and less abrasive to products than standard kraft paper. It is identified by subtle green tint to promote its environmental appeal and produces minimal waste.

Features
