Many users are a little confused about the difference between the air cushion machine and air column machine. Wandering about whether they have the same function. Today we are going to talk about this topic. I will explain the difference between the air cushion machine and the air column machine through the following points.

1.What is the air cushion machine and the air column machine?

2.Difference in how they work

3.They use different consumables

4.The difference between air cushion film and air column film

5.Where are air cushion machines and air column machines suitable for?

1.What is the air cushion machine and the air column machine?

1）The air cushion machine is a machine for producing air cushion bubbles.

2）The air column machine is a machine for producing air column bags.

They all inflate plastic films to produce air cushion bags.

2.Difference in how they work

1）In the process of inflation, the ironing wheel is heated, and the air inlet of the film roll is heat-sealed, so that the filled bubble bag does not leak air.

2）Inflate the air column film with one-way valve without heat sealing, the air column bag can automatically lock the air after inflation

3.They use different consumables

1）The materials of the consumables used in the air cushion machine are:HDPE high polyethylene film or PA nylon film. Usually the thickness range of the film is:15~30um

2）The materials of the consumables used in the air column machine are:PA (Nylon) membrane. Usually the thickness range of the film is: 30~80um

4.The difference between air cushion film and air column film

Air cushion film:

1）It can be made into the shape of pillow film, bubble film, section bubble film, bubble bag and so on.

2）Inflated bubble wrap will leak. The air retention rate of HDPE material is 1-3 months, and the air retention rate of PA nylon material is 3-6 months.

3）The compression resistance of HDPE material is about 30-60pa, and the PA nylon material is about 30-120pa

4）The price of the bubble film is cheaper than the air column bag: because the air column bag has a one-way valve, and the thickness is several times that of the air bubble film.

5）Due to high flexibility, irregular items can be packaged

6）It can fill gaps, wrap objects, and buffer around the box

Air column film：

1)It can be made into Q type air column bag, L type air column bag, long type air column bag and other shapes of air column bag.

2)A well-inflated air column bag will also leak air, and the air retention rate is 6 months.

3)Compression resistance is about: 30-120pa

4)The price of the air column bag is more expensive than air cushion film: because the air column bag has a one-way valve, the thickness is several times that of the bubble film.

5)Can not fill gaps. Can wrap objects and play a buffering role

5.Where are air cushion machines and air column machines suitable for?

Air cushion machine

1）Light weight of the packaged product

2）Packaged for immediate delivery

3）Short time for transportation and export

4）The value of the packaged items is average

5）Irregularly packaged products

Air column machine

1）When the packaged product is large and heavy

2）When stored in a warehouse for a long time

3）The export process takes a long time

4）The packaged items are expensive

Summary: The price difference between the air cushion machine and the air column machine is not big, but in terms of consumables, the cost of air column consumables is much higher. The price of bubble film is cheap, not only can be mixed with packaging products, but also the protection is equivalent to the air column bag. Therefore, it is recommended to use the air cushion machine and air cushion film.

According to the thickness of PA nylon material and HDPE material, and the requirements for temperature, the Wiair cushion air cushion machine has functions such as adjustable temperature, speed and air volume. Wiair has developed two bubble machines, 1200 and 3800, which can satisfy the use of these two membranes, and can be used in different scenarios.

The bubble film blown out by Wiair1200 and 3800 is evenly inflated, tightly sealed, and will not leak. Various types of bubble wrap can be used in combination to fill the space, cushion the surrounding area, wrap items, etc., to prevent damage during transportation, and have the effect of shockproof, buffering and compression.
