Pregis: IntelliPack SmartBagger foam-in-place system

To eliminate the need to invest in secondary protective systems for void fill and bottom padding requirements, the IntelliPack SmartBagger foam-in-place system from Pregis can now produce variegated foam SmartTrax cushions through a software upgrade. The system easily converts from bag to cushion mode on the user touchscreen, enabling the unit’s series of foam-filled cylinders to create bottom pads to help cushion heavy objects. They can also be used as end-caps and corner protection to wrap products or fill awkward voids. Operators have the option of working in an on-demand mode or pre-making a specific quantity in advance to meet production requirements. Other features include a telemetry function that triggers daily diagnostic testing to ensure the unit is performing under preset parameters, and bar code programming for production of cushioning to match specific products.
