Air Column Machine: Inflate Shaped Air Jackets Where You Pack Them

Inflating machines and bag making machines for air column packaging. The inflators fill and seal flat air column bags at the packing station; the bag making machines produce the bags themselves for converters and distributors.

Problems Solved

What This Line Fixes in Your Packing Process

  • Flat air column bags are useless without a matched inflator at the bench
  • Hand inflation is slow and gives uneven column pressure across a shift
  • Buying pre-inflated shaped packaging means paying freight and storage for air
  • Converters need a bag making line that can switch between Q, L and U column formats
Who It Is For

Who Buys This Line

  • Exporters who already buy air column bags and need to inflate them in house
  • Packing stations handling bottles, electronics or food tins
  • Packaging converters and distributors producing air column bags for their own market
  • Factories moving from moulded foam inserts to inflatable protection
Advantages

Why This Format Rather Than the Alternatives

  • Q, L and U type column formats run on the same filling machine
  • Inflation is a single button operation, so the result does not vary between operators
  • Bags are stored and shipped flat and only take volume once they are inflated
  • High speed bag making machine option for buyers producing their own air column bags
Application Scenarios

Where It Is Used

  • A bottling exporter inflating wine bottle jackets at the carton line
  • An electronics packer inflating monitor jackets on demand
  • A converter producing air column bag stock for regional distribution
  • A warehouse switching from moulded inserts to inflatable jackets
Buyer Questions

Air Column Machine Questions

Do you supply both the machine and the bags

Yes. We make air column bags and supply the matched inflating machines, so film format and machine are confirmed together.

Which column shapes does the filling machine handle

Q, L and U type air column formats run on the same airbag filling machine.

How is the machine operated

The operator loads the flat bag and presses start. The machine inflates the columns and heat seals them, so pressure is consistent across the shift.

Can I make my own air column bags

Yes, with a high speed industrial air column bag making machine. Tell us your target output and column format and we will confirm the model.

What support is available after delivery

Send photos or a short video of the issue on WhatsApp and we will work through it with you. Spare parts are supplied from the same source as the machine.

How do I choose between an inflator and a bag making machine

An inflator is for packers who buy bags. A bag making machine is for converters who want to produce the bags themselves.
