CIRRUS Air Pillow Machines
The CIRRUS series’s air-pillow machines are ideally adaptable to any packaging situation, offering solutions ranging from small internet retailers to large logistics companies. This high flexibility provides you with an optimal price-performance ratio. But there are further advantages when using Airworks devices for the inflation of air-cushions: Made of metal AIRWORKS machines are tough and durable. Filling degrees and welding temperatures are also freely adjustable. But there is more to the AIRWORKS machines: They are optimally matched with the air cushions, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
CIRRUS System
INTEGRATED SOLUTION FOR ENTIRE PACKING LINES Maximum productivity and ergonomics for an entire packing line layout. This fully-automatic, multi-station packaging system features optimized workflows and avoids time-wasting manual intervention. CIRRUS System has a modular architecture and is easy to integrate in existing premises layouts. The components are designed in accordance with the Airworks modular architecture. Its suspended design enables space-saving installation, quickly and easily on site. It is simple to use and is nearly maintenance-free, like all CIRRUS machines and modules.
CIRRUS Docking Station
The CIRRUS Docking Station is a compact and fully automatic solution for an air-cushion supply of multiple packing stations. The rolling boxes of the CIRRUS Docking Station allow an easy supply of air cushions to the different packaging areas. CIRRUS Docking Station fills the collection container sensor-controlled, eliminating the need to operate a start/stop switch. If necessary, the full collection container is exchanged for an empty one. The air cushions’ production starts fully automatically and stops as soon as the collection container is filled. Thus, there is always a sufficient supply of air cushions avoiding waiting time. The CIRRUS Docking Station is delivered with at least two collection containers and can be expanded with additional boxes.
CIRRUS Station
The pneumatic conveying unit CIRRUS Station turns a simple packing table into an adapted and integrated packing station. The ergonomically arranged collection container allows the easy and efficient removal of the air cushions. Three practical removal flaps offer the supply of one or two additional workstations. The fully automatic system regulates the collection container’s filling and ensures that sufficient air cushions are available for packaging. Another clear advantage: The system can easily be adapted to new requirements. With a horizontally extended channel, the CIRRUS station can be extended to up to four packing stations. Additional options enable process optimization from an ergonomic point of view. The CIRRUS station can be combined with the CIRRUS 80, CIRRUS 80/400 and CIRRUS 160 air cushion machines and is available with two-channels for different upholstery widths. The change of air-pillow-roles is also quick and easy: The machine can be easily turned to the side with a simple click to replace the films.
CIRRUS Twister
FULLY AUTOMATED FOR EASY, EFFICIENT WORK CIRRUS Twister is an automated winding unit for air pillow chains. It makes a handy, easy-to-transport roll of air pillows directly from the air pillow machine. CIRRUS Twister can process air pillows with widths of 300 - 400 mm, enabling you to supply every packing station with pre-produced air pillows as needed.
CIRRUS BioLine
With our new BioLine, air cushion films become a sustainable packaging solution. The film made of renewable raw materials combines resource-saving environmental friendliness with the well-known advantages of AIRWORKS air cushion films: low weight and low shipping costs with reliable protection and high load-bearing capacity. BioLine with renewable resources - 100 % recyclable - less CO2 - resource-saving - re-usable - sustainable - high strength - all cushion sizes possible
CIRRUS Portable
With the rollable machine platform, all the CIRRUS series’ air-cushioning machines can be rolled to any location where there currently is a need for efficient packaging. Thanks to the optionally mobile containers’, the CIRRUS air cushioning inflation machines can satisfy the need for multiple packing stations with filled air cushions. All at the same time! Additionally, the electronic counters for the CIRRUS80, CIRRUS 160 and CIRRUS Maxx will automize the containers’ filling process. Once the preset quantity of air cushions has been reached, the machines will turn off, allowing the automated filling of containers. Saving time and simplifying workflows.
CIRRUS Flexible
CIRRUS Flexible: fully automatic and mobile! The CIRRUS Flexible is a fully automatic and mobile unit that enables efficient and ergonomic work. Air cushion films are delivered in a chain from above into the packaging container, allowing your employees to have both hands free. The built-in photo sensor controls will ensure that the box containing the air-cushions will be filled automatically. Boosting work efficiency: The air cushion stock will be sufficiently filled without the use of a start/stop switch. Mounted on wheels, the CIRRUS Flexible has a pull-out and swivel upholstery guide allowing the packaging solution to quickly adapted to any situation. The CIRRUS Flexible is available with two different width upholstery designs and can process all CIRRUS air cushion film formats. A brush on the foil guide prevents the air cushion chain from slipping. The CIRRUS Flexible can be combined with a CIRRUS 80, CIRRUS 160, or CIRRUS Maxx.
