Introduction and analysis of air cushion machine and its blower

With the prevalence of the e-commerce economy and the growing demand for protective packaging solutions in various industries, buffer inflatable bags have become an essential part of cushioning and protecting fragile items during transport or transportation. And because the inflatable bag is lightweight, the production cost is low, and the space is small when it is not inflated, the air cushion machine market for the production of cushion inflatable bags is growing steadily, and the market prospect is broad. Let's first understand what is a cushion air cushion machine and its principle.

What is air cushion machine?

 

Cushion air machines, also known as air bubble film cushion machines, use plastic films (roll film, bubble film, inflatable film, air cushions) to produce cushioning air bags by inflating them. These cushioning air bags are made from low-density or high-density polyethylene and have excellent shock absorption and cushioning properties. The compression resistance of the fill-type air bags can reach up to 120KG, while the wrap-type air bags can achieve a compression resistance of up to 210KG.

 

The principle of air cushion machine:

 

 

The core of the air cushion machine is equipped with a compressed air device - mini high pressure blower (such as TKFAN Blower BA7050-B), the blower compressors the air into high pressure gas, and then sends the high pressure gas through the pipeline into the main body of the air cushion machine. At this time, a certain flow state will be generated, thus forming a layer of gas film. This layer of gas film is called "supporting gas film". Due to the pressure and flow rate of the gas, the supporting gas film will always maintain the same thickness, while fully supporting the weight of the object itself. Below the supporting gas film, a layer of gas film is formed which is in contact with the surface of the object, and this layer of gas film is called "resistance gas film". The thickness of the control gas film is affected by the size of the gap between the object and the body of the air cushion and the gas flow rate. When the object is impacted or vibrated from the outside world, the control gas film will be deformed accordingly, and the effect of shock and vibration will eventually be transferred to the supporting gas film, which plays a role of shock absorption.

The characteristics of modern air cushion machine:

Modern air machines utilize RFID technology to automatically detect the film, adjusting the airflow and heating temperature without manual intervention. They provide instant online production, saving storage space for packaging materials. With a modular design, touch panel, LED display, and plastic-steel casing, these machines offer very simple operation and maintenance. Professional machines can adjust not only the speed and airflow but also the temperature and film length, offering more adjustable functions.

Professional air cushion machines also feature a memory function. When manufacturers use different types of films, users can set and store the air speed, temperature, and airflow. Next time, they only need to activate the memory function and adjust to the corresponding mode, making operation very convenient. These machines also have automatic filling and pause functions. Based on infrared sensor and ultrasonic sensing principles, the machine continues to work or pauses according to the number of films produced, embodying intelligence and user-friendliness. To prevent accidental changes to settings and waste from unformed films caused by non-operators, the machine includes safeguards against unintended contact.

Professional cushion air machines can maintain high-speed operation for several hours, with speeds reaching up to 25m/s and a film output capacity of nearly 2000 meters, with more than 80% film saturation. Beltless cushion air machines are the preferred choice as they solve the issues of belt aging, brittleness, and frequent replacements that traditional machines face after prolonged use.

Advantages of air cushion machine:

The air cushion machine creates a soft and strong air cushion by inflating it, providing excellent protection and buffering for products during transportation. This packaging method effectively reduces the risk of compression, vibration, and collision damage during transit, ensuring the integrity and quality of the products.

Compared to traditional packaging materials, the air cushion machine saves costs through material reduction and lightweight packaging. Since air cushions can be produced on-site as needed, there is no need for extensive pre-production and storage, which effectively lowers packaging costs and increases packaging efficiency.

The packaging materials used by air cushion machines are typically recyclable plastics or environmentally friendly materials, aiding in eco-friendly packaging practices that align with sustainable development goals. By reducing the consumption of natural resources and the generation of waste, air cushion machines play a crucial role in environmental protection within the packaging industry.

The air cushion machine is highly flexible, capable of customizing air cushion packaging according to the shape, size, and packaging requirements of different products. Whether for fragile electronics, delicate glassware, or irregularly shaped items, the air cushion machine can provide tailored packaging solutions, ensuring the safety and stability of products during transportation and storage.

Air cushion blower introduction

Next, let's introduce the core component of the air cushion machine - the high pressure mini blower as a compression device, taking the TKFAN Blower BA7050-B as an example. This type of blower has been used in bulk in the air cushion industry, and is a very mature and standard high-pressure blower for air cushion machines. The most important role of the blower is to compress the air into high pressure gas, and then send the high pressure gas through the pipeline into the main body of the air cushion machine, thus producing a certain flow state to form a layer of gas film.

Electrical connection and protection function

The blower is equipped with 8 circuit connection wires, including three-phase wires and Hall wires, which are connected using VH3.96-8P terminals. The blower offers 12V and 24V rated voltage options, and can also customize the rated voltage according to customer needs to adapt to different power needs. At the same time, the fan has reverse protection, lock protection and soft start functions, which greatly improves the safety and reliability during use. The reverse protection can prevent damage caused by wiring errors, and the lock protection automatically stops when the fan impeller is stuck by a foreign body to avoid motor burning. The soft start function effectively reduces the impulse current when starting and prolongates the service life of the fan.

Controls

Through the external customized driver, the speed adjustment and actual speed measurement of the inverter blower can be realized. The yellow line is the Frequency Generator (FG) speed square wave output function lead, and the blue line is the PWM pulse signal input function lead. Users can choose duty ratio speed regulation or PWM voltage speed regulation, which is extremely flexible.
