Automated Packaging Systems has announced its new AirPouch® Pillow Separator designed to work with the AirPouch Express 3™ void-fill protective packaging system. This new pillow separator increases productivity by automatically dispensing just the right amount of pillows for faster packing.

The AirPouch Pillow Separator includes an operator-friendly HMI to preset the desired amount of pillows needed. The system automatically counts and separates void-fill air pillows that are inflated on demand. This allows the operator to focus on packing instead of counting, which improves yield while reducing fatigue and human error.

The new pillow separator runs at speeds up to 200 ft/min and is suitable for high-volume packing operations. Three operational modes enable the most effective processing. The unit includes a variable height stand with angle adjustments for maximum operator comfort and efficient packing. The pillow separator can be used to supply single or multiple packaging stations.
